Pure Shooting & Just Shooting

Pure Shooting is an advanced shooting program that works on every part of shooting mechanics.

Our Just Shooting program runs during the season. This program is an in-season shooting program to get hundreds of shots on weekends. We shoot free throws, Rep City, Foot Work, Catch and Shoot, Shots off dribble. You work hard during the off season to improve your game and your shot but as soon as the basketball season begins there never seems to enough time to get in enough practice shots to keep you sharp.

Teams are picked, practices begin and time is spent learning offenses, defenses, out of bounds plays, press breakers, full and half court traps, etc.  You just need some time just to get in a couple hundred jump shots and foul shots.

The Warriors Basketball Club is offering an in-season “Just Shooting” program. Why? We know how hard it is to find time to get in your practice shots during the season. How many shots can you take without someone rebounding for you?

We are offering an eight week program, Saturday & Sunday nights of just shooting for one hour. We will set up players at different stations and let you take hundreds of shots during that hour.
No scrimmages, no drills that will lead to any injuries “Just Shooting”. Coaches will be there to help any player that feels they need an outside opinion as to why their shot may be off and how to correct the problem.  

Theory: I believe that “pure shooters” must be properly trained and must work hard to develop a great shot.  It takes a long period of time (not just a one week camp) and proper training techniques. Each player will be video taped the first session shooting. I will review that tape. I will then put that brief shooting session on a DVD for the player to take home and see it.  I will write a brief comment sheet on the items that player must work on in the subsequent weeks and tell them which of the drills on the workout sheets he or she should focus on most.

We will duplicate this process near the end of the program.  When the program ends the player will have a DVD with his or her two shooting sessions and written comments.  If they practice every week on their own they will see the improvement.

I will give them a final written report of what they should continue to work on.  I feel that when their season starts that they can always review their DVD to help them during that season.

I believe that this teaching style will improve a players shooting ability a great deal. I am basically teaching the players the same way I taught my son Joe many years ago.

This program will require a great deal of time and effort on my behalf not only because of the shooting sessions but also the DVD making, reviewing and written comments.  So I hope that any player that wishes to attend this program is serious. If taken seriously each player’s shooting skills will improve dramatically.
