Pressure Free Throws

This is a drill that I use with my team to provide some incentive for make free throws and to see who can shoot under pressure.

Instructions

The whole team lines up around the lane. I choose someone to shoot 2 free throws. If they make both, the team doesn’t run.

If they miss one, the whole team does a down and back. If they miss both, the whole team runs a suicide. I have three people shoot each day and with 15 people on my team, that means everyone will shoot once a week. I find that this provides my team with some incentive to make free throws as well as providing them with some pressure to make the FT’s(especially if they are last and the other people have missed both).

Tips

  • I like to look for the players that volunteer to shoot versus the ones who try to hide. This helps to make my decision on late game substitutions easier.
