How can I practice basketball without a court or hoop?

I need to practice layups, shooting dribbling and vertical jump. I'm on a basketball team but we only have practice 2 times a week and we always do drills never just hardcore shot training. I really need to get better at all those things. But without a hoop and court how can i do this?How can I practice basketball without a court or hoop?
Having access to a basketball court should never keep you from practicing! Dribbling drills would be the easy answer to your question, however, there are more skill sets you can work on without having a basketball court or gym.



for example if you want to work on shooting and you have access to a wall, you can measure a spot at 10ft and then practice shooting to hit that spot from different areas. Your goal should be to hit the same spot on the wall at the same angle each time you try.....its a lot harder than you may think!

There are still a few things you can do sans court. It never hurts to physically condition yourself so that you'll be stronger, faster, and better when you do play ball on the courts. Improving your endurance is another idea. Dribbling can be practiced anywhere as long as you have a ball - and I doubt you made the team without owning your own ball that you play with. Simply find a good stretch of asphalt or a wooden gym floor and you can practice dribbling in many different ways. Dribbling while jogging, sprinting, with your non-dominant hand, and techniques such as crossovers, behind the back, and spin moves are all options. Shooting and layups are hard to do without a hoop, but you can practice your shooting form with a simple exercise. Lay on your back on a floor and assume the shooting form with your arms. Shoot the ball straight up, making sure that you move your arms in one fluid motion and sort of flick your wrist at the end to ensure a good follow-through.How can I practice basketball without a court or hoop?
Since you don't have access to a hoop or court you should focus on becoming a great ball handler.



You can practice your dribbling anywhere. Do dribbling drills for as long as you can each day.



To increase your vertical jump, just keep practicing your jumping. Measure your vertical on the wall and practice jumping each day until you beat that mark. Then try to beat the new mark you set, and so on.

Keep working on your shooting form, just lay down and shoot the ball up in the air.
Just practice the feeling,when you control it,just depend on feeling.
