Catch and Shoot Jump Shot Left Elbow. One objective of this drill is to develop your ability to catch and shoot a jump shot in one motion with a quick release. Another objective is to develop your ability to start your  jump shot in a balanced stance while facing the basket and land in balance after the shot. Start with the ball at the left box outside the lane, your back to the basket. Pass to your self by tossing the ball high so it bounces high on the left elbow. Run out on the outside of the lane with your hands high and quickly jump behind the ball, turning middle. Catch the ball with your shooting hand high and facing your target.  Shoot a  jump shot. Your knees should lower just before the catch and extend upward on the catch in a quick rhythmical down-and-up motion. Trigger words are “Catch-Up!” Hold your follow-through up until the ball reaches the net. Rebound and repeat. Your goal is  to make five jump shots in 30 seconds. This is also a great conditioning drill. At the end of the drill make two free throws.
