In The Pot

Each player takes two free throws. If he makes the shot, a point is added into the pot. If he misses the shot, he gets all the points in the pot, and the pot is reduced to zero. The first person to 11 loses. This drill can be modified for a one-and-one situation by making a miss on the first shot empty the pot, AND cost him another point. He must still shoot the second shot anyway.

Instructions

Make this drill fun. I like to use it as competition and keep track of a player’s won/loss record. This drill puts the competition and pressure of a ‘make the shot or lose the game’ atmosphere into a fundamental of all great teams… the ability to make free throws.

Tips

• Compete with your athletes. It makes it fun for them to beat the coach sometimes.
