Simple & Effective Conditioning Drill by: Joe Waters - webmaster
Great basketball drill Tony! The thing I like most about this conditioning drill is that it gives the players a personal and team challenge to overcome.
Sprint back and forth five times in 65 seconds. Now that makes them have to hustle...not just run 5 sprints. It challenges the players to push themselves to meet the time requirement.
I'm not a huge fan of sprints, but conditioning does play a big role in the overall success of the basketball players and team.
Having said that, this basketball drill is much more effective than just running "suicides" at the end of practice. Plus, the variation Tony added on is great. Anytime a player can do a conditioning drill with a basketball - the better.
Again, great basketball drill Tony...especially the variation you added!
