Week 2 Foundation Challenge

Build
Your Shot.

Great shooters don't start with range. They start with a great foundation. This week we're building feet, balance, hand placement, rhythm and finish.

Your Week 2 Foundation
0 of 5 Challenges Complete
Five Days. One Better Shot.

Build It From The Ground Up.

Stay close enough to the basket to shoot with good form. Each day adds a new layer — from mechanics to footwork, movement, decisions and competition.

3 Rounds × 10 Shots

Start close. We're building quality before distance.

  1. Set your feet and get balanced.
  2. Get the ball shot-ready.
  3. Eyes on your target.
  4. Shoot with smooth rhythm.
  5. Hold your finish until the ball reaches the rim.
🔥 Level UpAfter every make, take one small step backward. After a miss, stay where you are. Don't move beyond the range where you can keep good form.
40 Purposeful Shots

Connect Week 1 footwork to your shot.

  1. 20 shots: toss → catch → jump stop → shoot.
  2. 20 shots: toss → catch → 1-2 step → shoot.
  3. Stay balanced on every catch.
  4. Hold your finish.
🔥 Level UpAlternate left-right and right-left 1-2 footwork. Be able to organize your feet either way.
5 Spots × 5 Shots

Now we're moving before the catch.

  1. Choose five close-range shooting spots.
  2. Start 3–5 steps away.
  3. Move to the spot.
  4. Catch or toss to yourself.
  5. Organize your feet and shoot.
🔥 Level UpMAKE 5: Pick your favorite spot. Count how many attempts it takes to make 5. Remember your number and try to beat it later.
20 Reaction Shots

Add a decision before the shot.

  1. Place two markers several feet apart.
  2. Start between them.
  3. Have a parent or partner call LEFT or RIGHT.
  4. Move to that marker.
  5. Get your feet organized and shoot.
🔥 Level UpYour partner waits until you begin moving before calling LEFT or RIGHT. React, change direction, get balanced and shoot.
2 Rounds × 25 Shots

It's YOU vs. YOU. Set up five spots at a range where you can shoot with good form.

  1. Round 1: take five shots from each of five spots.
  2. Record how many you make out of 25.
  3. Rest and reset.
  4. Round 2: shoot the same 25 shots.
  5. Can you beat your first score?
Enter both scores to see your result.
🔥 Level UpBefore each shot, add movement: shuffle, backpedal or sprint into your spot — then get balanced before you shoot.
Week 2 Complete! 🎯You built your shot. Be ready to show your coach what you can do.
