Pressure freethrows

Allows players to shoot freethrows under pressure.

Instructions

Divide your team into two groups. Make sure that the better shooters are divided evenly between the teams. One group will begin as the shooting team and the other group will be the distracters. The shooting team picks a shooter to shoot two free throws. The distracting team can use any appropriate distraction to try and throw off the shooter as long as they stay out of the key and don’t physically touch the shooter. If the shooter makes both free throws, the distracting team must run two lengths of the court. If the shooter makes one and misses one, both groups must run one length of the court. If the shooter misses both free throws, the shooting group must run two lengths of the court. The distracting group now becomes the shooting team and chooses a shooter. This pattern continues until all players in each group gets to shoot.

Tips

Make sure that the distracters don’t get vulgar or inappropriate.
