Late Catch Warm-Up

Sets: 1Hits: 30 hitsRest: 1 minEst. duration: 10 min

Initial warm-up drill with progressive difficulty: close range, three-point, and moving backwards. Focuses on late two-hand catch, stabilization, and athletic lift.

Key points

  • Put two hands on the ball as late as possible in the release.
  • Stabilize the release even with a weird pick-up.
  • Elevate more to buy time for stabilization – jump higher.
  • On backwards shots, avoid leaning back; maintain forward weight distribution.

Common mistakes

Weight distribution tends to lean back when shooting moving backwards.

Pound and Shoot

Common mistakes

It's easy to miss a couple shots and start to get down on yourself; must continue to key in through difficulty.
