Basketball Youth Drills – Free Throw Shooting Drill

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

I put a basketball 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 basketball drill 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
