Beat The Pro
Purpose
Players practice their shooting from a variety of spots on the court.
Drill Setup
Player sets up anywhere in the half court. He has a basketball
How It Works
- A player gets a ball and shoots at a basket.
- Every make is 2 points for him.
- Every miss is 3 points for the imaginary pro.
- Play to 12. No layups.

The player tries to make more than he misses and beat the pro in this drill.
Coaching Tips
To make the drill more fun, the player can select a pro that he is “playing against” – like LeBron James, Steph Curry or James Harden.
Players should be rebounding their shots and moving with speed. You don’t want them to develop bad, lazy habits.
