Coaching Youth Basketball – Endurance warm Up Drill

A good basketball drill to use for warm-ups when you’re coaching youth basketball is an endurance drill.  This drill is great for youth basketball as it gets everyone involved and you can always split the groups half court, ten on each side.

• Line everyone up and number them for example one to ten.
• Number one will shoot, 2 free throws, and everyone else is jogging up and down the court.
• Then number 2 will get number one rebound then pass it to him.
• Once number one has taken his second shot, number one then joins in with everyone else and jogs and number two gets his own rebound and shoots.
• If there are ten players, the target will be 30 shots; if I see anyone walking I add another five shots and so on until they reach they target.
• While they are jogging they need to be going at a reasonable pace.
