Basketball Youth Drills – Free Throw Shooting Drill

These [tag]basketball youth drills[/tag] represent “live game” situations. We use this [tag]basketball shooting drill[/tag] to find the players who can make their free throws late in a game.

I put a [tag]basketball[/tag] at each free throw line. Have the players line up at one of the baskets.

The first player sprints to the basketball, shoots a free throw, gets his rebound and replaces the ball at the line. Then he sprints to the next basket and repeats this [tag]basketball drill[/tag] at every basket.

As soon the first player replaces the ball at the 1st basket, the next player goes until all the players have taken a turn.

The 2nd time around the players need to keep track of how many free throws they make.
The skills used:
a) Excellent conditioning drill
b) ball handling
c) proper shooting technique
