Contest Shooting: 2 ball touch pass shots

– Defender stands inside the three-point line, dribbling one basketball. – Offensive player stands outside the three-point line ready to shoot. Both players share a second ball, passing it back and forth. How it Works: The defender continuously dribbles one ball while simultaneously passing and receiving the second ball with the offensive player. At any moment, the offensive player can catch and hold the pass, immediately going up into a three-point shot. The defender must react instantly—while still dribbling their own ball—and use the dribbling ball to contest the shot without fouling. The drill emphasizes timing, ball control, and shooting under pressure. Focus Points: – Defender: dribble control + quick reaction into a balanced contest – Offensive player: readiness to shoot, footwork into a clean catch-and-shoot – One-hand passing rhythm between both players – Shooting through pressure and contest timing
