Basketball Drills Archives

Basketball Drills: Coaches should ensure that the basketball drills they teach to their team are practiced in a game situation whenever possible. Most basketball drills will lend themselves to this, but some basketball drills will not. You can create competition in drills by either using a “carrot” or a “stick” method. The carrot method means that you offer a prize or incentive to the winner of a particular basketball drill (ie. basketball cards, candy, fun basketball activity). The stick method means that you impose some kind of punishment to the loser of the drill (ie. running wind sprints, pushups etc.)
