Full Court Shooting Basketball Warmup Drill

basketball shooting drill, basketball warmup drill

Drill Objective:

This is an early practice wamrup shooting drill.   The basketball drill will get the players legs warmed up as they cover the full court on a dribble-jog.  It will also allow the players to practice several basketball shots from layups to free throws to jump shots.

Drill Setup:

Nothing more than players and a basketball for each of them.

Drill Instructions:

The players dribble the length of the basketball court to the other end.  At the far end the player must make a series of shots.  Start with a straight away jumper, followed by a corner jump shot, followed by a layup and then a free throw.  The player must make each shot before they head to the other end of the court.

Drill Coaching Points:

It is just a wamrup drill, so keep the players moving and focused.  Good form on the jump shots is a must.  Stress they do not rush anything.  It is a warmup not a race.  Take good shots and follow through.

Drill Variations

You can make it a race to finish practice.  Have a knockout tournament of 1v1 where the winner is the first player to complete the shots on both ends of the court.
