A Full Court Warmup Shooting Drill

As coaches we are always looking for good warmup drills that the kids will enjoy. Here is a warmup drill for a shooting practice that will get the kids plenty of shots as well as their legs warmed up with some running and dribbling.

Setup

Full court, each player with a ball. 

Instructions

Start half the kids on one baseline and the other half on the opposite baseline.  Stagger the starts every few seconds rather than starting all at once.  Each player must dribble the full court and complete five shots on that end of the court.  They must take a layup, free throw, three pointer and a jump shot both both sides.  Once they complete the five they then dribble to the other end of the court and repeat.  Allow 5-10 minutes for warmup.

Variations

You can require the players to make each shot before changing ends of the court.

Coaching Points

It is just a warmup drill so do not be too involved.  Only step in if the players are not being serious or if you see improper shooting technique.  Otherwise allow the players to get in a solid uninterrupted warmup.
