I find that the traditional basketball drills can get a bit stale.  Here are a couple of basketball training tips for you to try with your team to liven things up at your practices.

Left Handed Day:
Pick one basketball practice per week and call it left handed day.  Take an hour on that day and do everything left hand (or right handed if a lefty).  To make sure everyone does this, take a string and tie down the “off” hand.  Shoot, pass, dribble the basketball with the designated hand.

Circle Rebound:
Place 5 players beyond the three point line. Have the five rebounders run around the circle that encloses the free throw line.  When the shot is taken they have to find a man to box out.  All five players must be covered.
