As we all know, free
throws are an important fundamental and must be practiced every day. Free
throws can be--and very often are--the difference between a team winning and a
team losing.
This drill allows you
to combine free throws with conditioning, thus maximizing your gym time. It
also simulates game situation free throws as players are shooting them while
winded. This is important because free throws late in the game are taken when
players are physically spent, which requires more concentration.
How it Works
·
Gather three players
and one basketball per hoop. Players need to remember the rotation:
Rebound-Run-Shoot.
·
Player 1 goes to the
line for two free throws. Player 2 rebounds for Player 1. Player 3 sprints one
lap around the outside of the court.
·
Upon completion of the
lap, Player 3, now fatigued, steps to the line for two free throws. Player 1
rebounds, Player 2 sprints a lap.
·
The rotation continues
for 10 minutes. If you insist that players sprint hard and stay outside the
court (no cutting corners), you'll find that the timing works out almost
perfectly.
·
Also, after 10 minutes
of this drill, the players should be sufficiently winded and will have gotten
in about 25 free throws each.
