This shooting drill teaches you concentration. If you are going for ten in a row and the player has hit seven, you can tell that they don’t want to miss. The drill also emphasizes the correct shooting form. It is almost impossible to hit many shots in a row if your shooting form changes from shot to shot.

FIVE PLAYERS WITH TWO BALLS TAKING POSITION AROUND THE FOUL LINE AREA. THE FIRST PLAYER WITH THE BALL TAKES A FREE THROW SHOT. IF HE MADE THE BASKET THEN TAKES THE SECOND BALL FOR A NEW SHOT. THE PROCEDURE CONTINUES UNTIL HE MISSES THE SHOT. THEN NEXT PLAYER TAKES HIS POSITION.
IF A PLAYER HAS TEN FREE THROWS IN A ROW IS THE WINER.

This is a passing, cutting and lay-up drill tied to an out-let and fast break lay-up drill that stresses the fundamentals of the jump-stop, catch and pivot, entry and lead passes, and the running and fast-break lay-up.
Players move from spot to spot to practice all the skills, and the ball keeps moving the entire time to stress timing, quickness and speed.
