Conditioning

Smackdown Drill

Put a player in each corner of the court. Players in opposite corners are on the same team. Bounce the ball at mid court. The players can leave their posts when the ball hits the ground. The team to gain position of the loose ball becomes the offensive team the other team is on defense. What will follow will a full court match-up completing when one team scores. Loosing team does 50 crunches or 10 pushups.

Rollerball

Start 1 line on the baseline, in the corner. Player 1 rolls the ball hard out towards the opposite end, with player 2 sprinting hard after the loose ball. He must pick it up with 2 hands for control, get his eyes up to see the floor, and go hard at the basket for a lay up. Player 1 must trail hard, because he must be available as a trailer option of player 2 cannot control the ball for his own layup, and to get the rebound out of the net before it touches the floor. Switch roles coming back the opposite way.

The pusuit race

2 teams of 2 men, each team underneath one basket. After coach’s whistle start the first man of the team to dribble to opposite basket and lay-up (he rebounds and shots until scores), after scoring dribble to opposite and again lay-up (in the same way as above). After scoring passes ball to the second player and he continues in the same way. The winner is that team, whichs’ player overtakes opponent by scoring soon on some basket (‘The pursuit race’).

On the Line

This drill shows your players how important free throws can be. It’s not only a conditioning drill, but it gives the players practice shooting free throws when tired.

Nuchie Drill

I use this drill for either conditioning or when I am mad at my team and I want them to have a hard drill for a punishment. It is basically a full out sprint of half the team and defensive stance for the other half.

Mountain Climber

Line up the team along the baseline; you may need to make two groups. The team runs 1 length of the court on the whistle. They have 7 seconds to make it to the opposite free throw line. On the next whistle they must run three lengths of the court (down, back, down). They have twenty-one seconds to make it back to the free throw line. (Make sure on the first two lengths they are going all the way to the baseline, then on the last length, in this case the third, they just have to go to the free throw line.) You continue this going from 1-3-5-7-9-11-9-7-5-3-1. Each length of the court constitutes seven seconds. For example on the ‘top’ of the mountain (11 length’s of the court) they have 77 seconds to make it.

Killer 7

This is a special kind of 1 on 1 game. It requires that a player must be able to play offense and defense with little or no rest. You cannot win in this game if you are not a good all around player. It is played in one half of the court, and points are scored just like in a real game, only additional points are added for successful rebounding, and defense.

Kill The Pill

This is a whole team drill that works on conditioning, passing, and being able to catch and lay the ball up from a full court pass on both the right and left side of the court. It must be done full speed and very hard. I often end practice with this drill and then shoot free throws immediately after to get the fatigue factor. Every player will run through this drill before it’s over.
