The Dan Challenge:

• Attend the 2020 Okanagan Jamboree on June 6th and 7th, 2020: Mark it on your calendars!

• Around the World Shooting Challenge:

  • Begin shooting from the baseline position from a comfortable range.

  • Continue shooting from that spot until you miss two in a row.  Once that happens, progress to the 45° spot and again, repeat shooting until two shots are missed.

  • Repeat this progression for the free-throw line and two opposite spots on the other side of the key. Additionally, you can shoot from the elbow positions for a total of 7 spots.

  • This drill is better with people to get your boards so that you can keep your rhythm .  If you’re in a groove, you should be in the high double digits. Keep track of your points and always try to improve that number.
