This is a full-court, fast-paced conditioning drill, which teaches shooting concentration at full speed.
Divide players into two groups at opposite end-lines with a ball for each group. On coaches whistle, first player in each line must dribble the length of the floor and make a lay-up.The team must make 20 consecutive shots before switching to left-handed lay-ups, then make 20 consecutive from left side.
Any number
Make sure to emphasize encouragement from teammates. It becomes quickly discouraging to get close to 20 makes and then miss. Depending on skill level of players, you can make this drill harder by limiting the # of dribbles to reach the basket. Also, make sure players dribble wide to far hash-mark to get proper angle at basket.
You can add more balls to each side and have next player start after first player reaches half-court.
