Game-Like Conditioning Drills

---

Star Shooting

This is a great way to work on moving at game speed and then setting your feet and knocking down shots! It's also a great conditioning drill. A score of less than 10 is considered "good", a score of less than 5 is "excellent" and a score of 0 is "outstanding"!

Cone to Chair Drill

Rules

1. You can compete against someone else or alone; regardless, start at the chair (make sure the seat faces away from the hoop) and set your ball on the seat.
2. On "go", rip the ball from the chair and finish a lay up. The point of the chair is so you are LOW!
3. With your outside hand, sprint out to your line of cones, bend at the knees (not the waist like an old person!) and attack the paint (chair).
4. With your eyes up, set the cone on the chair, make a move, and finish a lay up.
5. You must finish your lay ups to move on!
6. You must have all your cones stacked on the chair to win!

Game Application
This drill teaches change of speed, ball control under stress, finishing under stress, staying low, and builds anaerobic capacity (ability to work harder and faster in a small window of time). 

 

Why you should take
​the weight-room seriously

The game of basketball has evolved substantially since the days of Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan. Back then, it was uncommon for players to touch a weight and many athletes got by with freakish natural ability.  

Now, if you aren't finding ways increase your force production via strength training, you will find yourself a step slow on the court. Never a good thing when trying to keep a player in front of you on defense, trying to out-rebound someone, win a tip ball, blow past someone on the catch, etc. 

Off-season, pre-season, and in-season strength training is crucial for reasons aside from being bigger, stronger, and faster. It also helps with injury prevention in terms of joint resiliency, stronger bones, and better motor patterns.

Medicine Ball Rips

Medicine Ball Rips are a great way to build total body endurance. This is typically a drill for basketball players, but can be used for any athlete wanting to build lateral explosiveness, a stronger core, and upper-body speed. 

1. Pick a ball relative to your strength, 8-12lb is typical.
2. Rip the ball from your hip while stepping with your "inside" foot and pushing with your "outside" foot.
3. Land in a jump stop, with your feet about hip width apart. 
4. Repeat to the other side.

Hurdle Drills

1. Lateral Hurdles to Sprint
2. Bunny Hops to Sprint
3. 4 Hurdle Drill

These drills are designed to build speed (how quickly you can move) and agility (ability to change direction efficiently and quickly).

Cone Slides
This is a simple drill designed to build proper defensive footwork. 

1. ​Be low enough to touch the cone.
2. When you go to change direction, get your feet under your hips.
3. Explode out, pushing off your outside foot and stepping with your inside foot (it is very common to do this in reverse, it is SLOW!).
4. Work as hard as possible with proper footwork for about 0:20-0:45, and then rest.
