Fire Drill #2

Players in line along sideline and follow commands yelled out by coach. commands consist of foot fires (rapid pumping of legs on balls of feet), down (lie face down and then quickly back on feet), jump(jump left arm and leg up, right arm and leg up in exaggerated lay-up motion), sprint(cross court and back) and jog (around court perimeter).

Instructions

Line players up along sideline spread out evenly facing court. Coach stands on opposite side. Coach yells commands in any sequence and players execute command. Example: fire, down, fire, jump, sprint, fire, jog etc.

Tips

  • Mix up commands. Emphasis is on jumping as high as they can, and exaggerate arm up and leg up on shooting hand. This is an extremely tough drill and a great conditioner. Use the jog to actually give then a break.
  • Coach waits until the players back in original position before giving next command.
