shootarounds
Pre-game shooting drills
A shootaround is a light basketball practice, typically held on game day, where players run through plays and take shots without intensive physical exertion.
The term reflects the casual, shooting-focused nature of these sessions: The team held their morning shootaround at 10 a.m.
Plural: shootarounds.
