Triangle Warm-Up

A good drill to warm up.

Instructions

Line 1/3 of players near the goal out of the way(for rebounding). Divide the rest of the players into two lines at the elbows. One is for passing; the other for shooting. The first player in the shooting line makes a hard cut to the goal and the passer gives him a good pass to do a lay-up. The rebounder rebounds and passes the ball back to the passing line. They rotate lines: the shooter moves to the back of the rebound line; the passer goes to the shooting line; and the rebounder goes to pass.

Variations

  • After lay-ups on both sides, you can continue with short bank shots, longer 2-pointers, and 3-pointers on one side.
  • It may be necessary to move the passing line to the baseline for the 3’s in the corner.

Tips

  • Make sure that cuts are hard, passes crisp, and rebounding solid.
  • To remember the rotation order: go to the line that got the ball after you.
