"FATIGUE FREE THROWS"
As we all know, free throws are an important fundamental and must be practiced every day. This drill allows you to combine free throws with conditioning, thus maximizing your gym time. It also simulates game situation free throws as players are shooting them while winded. We do this drill every day.
3 players and 1 basketball per hoop. Players need to remember the rotation: Rebound-Run-Shoot. Player 1 goes to the line for 2 free throws. Player 2 rebounds for player 1. Player 3 SPRINTS 1 lap around the OUTSIDE of the court. Upon comletion of the lap, player 3, now fatigued, steps to the line for two free throws. Player 1 rebounds, player 2 sprints a lap. The rotation continues for 10 minutes. If you insist that players sprint hard and stay outside the court (no cutting corners), you'll find that the timing works out almost perfectly.
Also, after 10 minutes of this drill, the players should be sufficiently winded and will have gotten in about 25 free throws each.
