Pressure One and One

Pressure One and One Foul Shooting on 6 baskets.

Instructions

Really simple. Put at least one player and one basketball at each of the six baskets. Even the rest of the team so that there are no more than 3 players at a basket. The players must shoot one and one at each basket in a specified time limit. If you miss your first shot you go to the end of the line at your basket. You cannot rotate baskets until you have made both ends of the one and one. I have found good foul shooters can complete a six basket rotation in 5 minutes. Be prepared for back logs at baskets where poor shooters are stuck.

On the coaches whistle or command the first six shooters start. Once the start command is given the drill doesn’t stop until time expires. They must rebound their own miss and pass to the next shooter in line. If they don’t hustle after their rebound – TAKE NOTE AND ACT ACCORDINGLY. I prefer to use a stop watch so the players don’t know how much time they have left.

Variations

  • Decrease the time or make it so that the entire group rotates baskets when all the players at that basket have made both ends of a one and one.
  • Sometimes put the poor foul shooters with good ones.
  • Don’t underestimate peer pressure in this situation.
  • Line drills for all those who don’t complete the required number of baskets or a minimum number of shots.

Tips

  • Stick to the time limit. It adds the element of pressure to the shooters.
