One and One Free Throw Drill

By: Coach Pat



For this kids basketball drill, divide the players into groups of two,
three, or four, and have each group set up at a basket. Instead of shooting
several consecutive shots, have players practice shooting free-throws like
they will in an actual game with a one and one set up.

Have the first player in line briefly go through his routine and shoot one
free-throw shot. If he misses, then he has to run a lap around the court
and does not get a second shot.

If he makes it, then he gets to practice another shot. If he makes the
second shot, he adds it to his tally and goes to the back of the line, but
if he misses the second shot, then he has to run a lap.

Players take turns shooting until they make a certain number of free
throws, say five or ten depending on the ability level.

Players who miss several shots will be running a lot of laps, which is good
for conditioning and creating game-fatigue.
