Shooting Challenge
The Armstrong Summer Shooting Challenge is a summer program designed to challenge our players to practice excellent shooting form and to improve that shooting form by shooting a lot of shots during the off-season.
The Armstrong Summer Shooting Challenge is voluntary and designed to practice during the off-season to improve shooting form, ball handling, strength & conditioning & CONFIDENCE!
"It's a CONFIDENCE that's built on the foundation of work and the reps I put in." - Steph Curry
The Challenge!
- Shoot Often! The goal is achievable if you shoot about 100 shots per day - which should only take about 30 minutes! If you miss a day, just make up the shots throughout the week.
- Focus on Form! Take the time this summer to focus on perfecting your form. You will play how you practice, so make your time and energy count!
- Shoot Free Throws! Shoot free throws in between reps when you're tired; take your time, find your routine, and go! If you're playing in your driveway, mark off the line - Grades 3 & 4 shoot at 12 feet and grades 5-8 shoot at 15 feet.
- Have Fun & Go Hard! This should be fun way to maintaing and improve your skills over the summer. Go full speed and use fakes & drives. Shoot from a variety of spots and shoot off movement - just like in a game. Take shots that you'll take in a game (pull up jumpers, post moves, catch & release, breakaway layups, etc.)
- Develop a Shooters Mentality! Believe every shot is going to go in! Keep shooting and don't overthink the results!
The goal is to ATTEMPT and RECORD 10,000 or more shots from June 1 to September.
