One of my subscribers actually suggested these basketball coaching tips recently.  I’ve included these basketball conditioning drills for you below.

From Tracy…
Here are a few tidbits on basketball conditioning:

1) Circuits in the weightroom during the season - 45 seconds, then switch with a 5 sec. break before beginning again

2) 2 legged bounds down the floor and back (watch “The Biggest Loser” they have some different strength/conditioning drills)

3) Trivia about your basketball program or big moments in basketball history - it has helped me to get my kids realizing the tradition of the school they are playing for.

At the beginning of basketball practice I give the kids a Question & Answer, then at the end of practice they have to recall it - if not, conditioning of some sort. I have incorporated other game shows into this as well, like they can use a “lifeline” if they can’t remember the answer. 

The kids enjoy it and occasionally they try to stump me!
