Gotcha

This drill will increase concentration on free throws, and aggressive rebounding of missed free throw shots. We tell our players over and over that the shooter knows best which way the ball will bounce off of the basket. This drill shows that exactly.

Instructions

• All players line up in a single file line behind a player on the free throw line (giving room of course to shoot).
• 2 balls are needed in this drill.
• Player 1 shoots a free throw. If it goes in, that player passes their ball to Player 3.
• Immediately after Player 1 shoots, Player 2 shoots a free throw. If their ball goes in, that player passes to Player 4…and so on.
• If Player 1 misses, however…the fun begins.
• Player 1 must get the rebound and score a beasket in any way, before the person next in line scores one.
• If the player behind you scores before you, you are out of the game. If you score before them, you go to the back of the line, and continue.
• Play continues until there is one player remaining who is the winner.

Variations

• You could use the same system on 3 point practices, or any other spot you’d like to practice from.

Tips

• This is, believe it or not, a very quick moving and tiring game, but my girl’s love it !
• I usually use this as a bonus at the end of a long practice or a very long week.
