Basketball Equipment and Drills
Here is all of the basketball equipment I used throughout my career that helped improve my game. I also included some drills that I loved to do on my own, with one other person, or my Coaches would have my teams do!
Basketball Equipment
My Dad is a high school basketball coach, so from a young age, I had access to good equipment and training! These were all of the things I used or needed at the time!
Dicks has so many basketball hoop options! I loved that my Dad got me and my siblings one when I was a kid that adjusted so that it would get higher as we got older!!
Get your athlete their own basketball! This way they have access to a ball of their own, one that is their size (depending on their age or gender), that they can use at home!
Get a set of cones! Your athlete can use these to do shooting drills, running drills, pass-to-shooting drills, etc. These are so handy to have!

Chalk is a great thing to have on hand that you can use at your at-home basketball court or even at your local park to mark shooting spots or other things!

These are some of my favorite at-home shooting drills! Shoot 5 shots from every mark along the key and you can not move on until you make 5 in a row from each spot! You can measure your improvement level by timing how long it takes you to do it!
The best free throw shooting drill I ever did was shoot 100 free throws a day! I would shoot 100 and count how many I make out of that. Over time I got to the point where I could make 92 in a row! This helped me make free throws under the intense pre...
These are some of the team free throw drills that my coaches had my various teams do over the years. These helped improve both our running and free throws! The first was normally either a warm-up or the last drill, the team all lines up around the ke...
One team shooting drill one of my coaches used to have us do was she would pick 5 spots anywhere on the court that we would have to shoot from and she would divide us in half. Every member of each team would shoot at each of the five spots. My coach ...
