Answer 1

try some of these...

One Mile Run
This basketball conditioning drill will keep players in shape while building mental toughness as well as the leg muscles. It also helps players play harder and last longer during games. Start jogging for 20 seconds, then run for 20 seconds, then jump for 20 seconds and then walk for 20 seconds. Do this continually for one mile. Run this drill three or four times per week for maximum benefit.

Suicide
Cardiovascular drill that builds leg strength. Begin the drill at one of the baselines and run out to the foul line and then back to the baseline. Then run out to half-court and back. Next, run to the opposite foul line and back. Finally, run the full court down and back. Don't slow down or stop - just keep truckin'.


Venture Drill
This basketball conditioning drill really works on agility , speed and endurance. Cones should be used and be sure that the players make good, sharp cuts.
Begin on the baseline on the lane line. Sprint to the near sideline even with the foul line. At the foul line, change directions and sprint to mid-court. At mid-court, slap the floor into a defensive stance, continue diagonally to the foul line, change direction and proceed to the lane line at the baseline. Finish with a sprint to the near sideline and then back-pedaling to the opposite baseline. This drill can be done for reps or time.

Crossover Dribblerossover Move
This is a popular move in today's game and is exciting to watch. Place the ball in your right hand. Then, while stepping forward with your right foot, crossover to your left hand. The crossover dribble should be lower and closer to your body than all the other dribbles. Your left foot should be hitting the ground just as the ball reaches your left hand. Then, explode to the hoop for the score.

Stutter Step Move
This is a great move for a guard also. Dribble hard toward the defender, take some hard steps in place, and then go fast past the defense. Often you will catch them flat footed and you can drive to the basket.

B.E.E.F.
Remember the BEEF is good way to learn to become a better shooter. BEEF stands for...
B-balance- get your balance. make sure you are steady.
E-eyes-look at the rim. either the back or the front. it really doesn´t matter.
E-elbow-make sure your elbow is in line with the basketball hoop.
F-follow thru-an essential part of all shooting. Make sure you follow thru when releasing your shot.

Superman Drill
This drill uses the same motion as the Mikan Drill only it is extended to the outside edge of the "painted area" (more commonly known as "the lane"). Start somewhere between the lowest block and the next block toward the free throw line. The difference in the drill is you are not trying to make a shot. Throw the ball off the backboard above the rim at an angle. You want to get grab the "rebound" from the opposite side of the lane without letting the ball touch the ground. Younger players will want to take more than the ideal maximum of 3 steps to get to the other side. This is also a "rhythm" drill. Keep your arms and hands up. This a tough drill used for rebounding and footwork. Keep the rotations to no more than 10. Remember, stay outside the lane!

Good Shooters...
A shooter is only as good as the shots he takes. Take shots that you practice and that you can consistently make. If you take those shots, chances are you will be a good shooter. If you take bad shots, you are probably not going to make many in a game. If you want to become a great shooter, shoot 400-500 shots a day, Michael Jordan does!


Mikan Drill
Named after the first real big man in the NBA, George Mikan. Start on the right side of the basket, while standing within layup range, go off of two feet and shoot a right handed layup. As the ball comes down, keep your arms up, take two steps to the left side of the basket and repeat the same motion only shooting a left handed layup. Grab the rebound, take two steps right, keep your arms up, and shoot a right handed layup. Repeat this rhythm drill for a total of 10 rotations.


Figure 8's - with dribble
Spread legs dribble the ball in a figure eight motion around and between the legs. Do this with a lot of dribbles and then with as few as possible. Stay low!


Drum dribble
Either standing or on one knee have players dribble ball changing hands with each touch. Start with a steady dribble then work down to super fast low dribbles. then have them dribble with one finger on each hand and with their balled up fist.

Basketball Rebounding Tip #1: ATTITUDE AND DESIRE
Statistically, over ninety percent of all rebounds are taken below the rim. Therefore, rebounding is a product not of great athletic ability, but attitude and desire. Make up your mind that you want to rebound, go after each and every one, and master box out techniques, and you can provide your team with a valuable asset--a dependable rebounder.

Basketball Passing Tip: BOUNCE PASS
The bounce pass should travel from your waist to receiver´s waist. The ball should bounce about 2/3 of the way to the receiver. You should follow through as in chest pass with your thumbs down. The backspin that this creates slows the ball down when it hits the ground and makes it easier to catch.


Basketball Passing Tip: FAKE A PASS-THROW A PASS
When you are prepared to pass the ball while being pressured by a defender, pass fake (which is a fake throwing the ball in one direction) then pass the ball other way. Fake a bounce pass and throw overhead. Fake overhead and throw around.This will usually make the defender go for the first pass and clear some lane for a pass in the opposite direction.

BASKETBALL CONDITIONING: CLAP HANDS
Hold the ball behind your knees. Release it, clap your hands in front of your knees, then return your hands behind your knees and catch the ball before it hits the ground.


BASKETBALL CONDITIONING: LINE JUMPS
Stand beside any line on the floor. With your feet together, jump forward and backwards over the line, then sideways back and forth (two separate exercises). Repeat for thirty seconds, counting the number of times that you return to the starting point. Try to better yourself every day.

BASKETBALL CONDITIONING: WALL PASSING
A good way to increase both hand quickness and hand-eye coordination is with wall passes. Stand in front of a wall and pass the ball hard against the wall, catching it upon its return. As you improve your hand coordination, decrease the distance you stand from the wall so that the ball will come back more quickly and you have to react more quickly.

BASKETBALL CONDITIONING: BENCH JUMPING
Either face a bench that is about one and a half feet high or stand beside it. You can either jump over and back or sideways. Feet should be kept together. Go for thirty seconds and count the number of times that you return to the starting point. Attempt to increase the number every day.


BASKETBALL CONDITIONING: JUMP ROPES
One of the most important pieces of equipment a basketball player can possess is a jump rope. Daily use of a jump rope will develop stamina, leg strength, agilty and coordination, timing, quickness, and hand-eye coordination. All of these are extremely important to becoming a good ball player.

Use Your Shot Fake!
Before shooting while being guarded by a person that is taller than you, pump faking is a very good thing to do. A pump fake is also called a shot fake. Your opponent may jump up which leaves you free to drive to the hoop or you can get your defense in the air, where they are now liable to foul you. Once you get them up in the air, when the defense is on their way down, you should be on your way up or on your way to the basket... for you have outplayed your opponent.



Good luck

Answer 3

I have played basketball ever since i remember im 17 now so i'd say about 12 or 13 years playing in leagues. One thing to develop your game is free throw shooting, i shoot about 150 free throws a day during the season and about 50 a day during the off season, dribbling with multiple balls at once crossovers etc. helps alot, post up moves you can work by yourself... hard to say you didnt give your postition. Over the summer i accomplished the goal of dunking when im about 5'10 and white work hard, shoot and dribble alot

Answer 4

2 Words Hardwork Practice.

Answer 5

playing at a div 1a myself, i would say focus on these three

1. ball handling skills
2. REAL fundamental defense skills
3. ENDURANCE

if you can stop the opponent, take away the ball, you are putting points on the board, either by assist or score, and being able to keep the intensity up is key to winning.

Answer 6

box out and drain 3's. Also be as good from the right side as you are from your left in lay ups. Finally be agressive and shoot 20 free throws and if you miss, 1 start over.

Answer 7

well practice your defense. but to do that you would need to have a partner. and practice your shooting. you can also improve your footwork by doing some drills. improve your dribbling by dribbling 2 balls at the same time, running while dribbling 2 balls and doing spin moves, to the left and right, while dribbling 2 balls. those dribbling drills will surely improve your ball handling, believe me! practice, practice, practice!

Answer 8

Jump ropeing realy helps alot.

Answer 9

Practice.Plyometrics.

Answer 10

Focus on your shooting and defense. These are two key aspects of your game. Improve on them and your game will improve.

Answer 11

talk to your team members, ask for their input
and talk to coach
then practice makes perfect
