MONTHLY CHALLENGE

Why We’re Doing This

At LA Select, we believe greatness comes from consistent habits, not just talent. Our Monthly Challenges gives players a way to set personal goals, build accountability, and develop a mindset of daily improvement. Each month focuses on a specific skill that players can work on at home.

This is not about perfection. It is about effort, growth, and learning to put in the work when no one is watching.

This Month’s Challenge

This month’s focus is mid-range shooting. All shots for this challenge must be stand-still, catch-and-shoot. No dribbling into the shot. Players should receive the ball, get their feet set, and shoot with balanced form.

These reps should be done with control, proper mechanics, and consistent follow-through. Having a rebounder or partner will make the challenge much easier and help you maintain rhythm, but players may also complete it on their own by tracking down rebounds between reps.

Your Five Mid-Range Spots

You will make 800 total mid-range shots, divided evenly across five spots on the floor:

  1. Left Baseline Mid-Range

  2. Right Baseline Mid-Range

  3. Left Wing Mid-Range (Free-Throw Line Extended)

  4. Right Wing Mid-Range (Free-Throw Line Extended)

  5. Top of the Key Mid-Range

Each spot requires 160 makes to complete the full challenge.

Shots only count if they are taken from the correct distance and with proper form.
