Footwork Warm-Up (10 each elbow)
Start at the block, toss a self pass to the opposite elbow, and catch in a square up pivot.  While staying low, swing the ball across your body with a cross over step, drive to the original block and finish with a lay up.  This drill should be completed with every post workout.

Tennis Ball Warm-Up (50 reps each hand)
Facing a wall, get into a defensive stance.  Throw a tennis ball as hard as possible against the wall and watch it all the way back into your hand.  The distance from the wall should be shortened as your reaction improves.

Ball Handling / Passing (10-15 minutes full speed – go hard enough so that you mess up)
· Stationary one and two ball drills
· Drives to the basket: Toss the ball to yourself, and catch with a short, quick jump stop.  After the catch, cross over step with one or two dribbles, then make a hand exchange to get all the way to the basket and finish strong.
· Half Court Exchange/Explode Dribbling: On the half court, dribble full speed concentrating on different techniques to move the ball between hands while changing directions.
· Skip/Rip Passing: If you have a partner, toss the ball to yourself in the post, reverse pivot and SNAP a strong overhead pass to your partner who is waiting on the perimeter or RIPPING to the basket.
· Mikan Drill: Concentrate on keeping the ball high.  Your goal is to increase the number of makes each time this drill is completed.
· Create Your Own: Develop your own ball handling routine.  It is ok to do the same routine over and over as long as you perfect it.  Once perfected, create a new one.  Repetition is a good teacher.

Free Throws (At least 150-200 each week)
· Repetition Free Throws with a Partner: Set your feet, bend your knees, keep your hands up ready to catch the ball, catch, put the ball in the shooting pocket, lift and shoot.  RIGHT AWAY, get back into starting position ready to shoot the next one.  Shoot at least 25 in a row, but 50 is better.  Do not go through your routine, but do not rush the shot.
· Game Like by Yourself: Shoot these free throws like you would in a game.  Shoot 2 or 3 in between every ball handing, passing, quickness, and shooting drills.

Quickness (Each time you do a shooting workout, add a quickness element)
· Jump Rope: Switch every 30 seconds and go through this workout twice.
     2 feet as fast as you can forward
     2 feet as fast as you can backward
     knee-twist as you jump
     5 regular jumps, then 1 double jump – continue that pattern
     Jog or run through
· Line Jumps: Move along the outside lines of the court jumping back and forth.
     Sideline – left foot
     Baseline – two feet
     Sideline – right foot
     Baseline – two feet
     Quick Jumps – get as many touches as you can from one side of the court to the other.
     Wall Jumps – Do as many jumps as possible in 1 minute.  Focus on bouncing back up as soon as you
          hit the floor and get as high as you can.
· Sprint and Backpedal with a Partner: Start off in a sprint, but change to a backpedal when your partner yells.  Continue for 1 minute at a time concentrating on making the changes as quickly as possible.
· Strength Building: Squat Jump for 1 minute.  Body Squat for 1 minute, Lunge for 30 seconds with each leg.

Post Moves / Scoring (At least 650 each week)
“Be creative” means, you should score the ball differently every time.  Throw a shot fake, then step through.  Hang in the air before release.  Etc.  Get comfortable around the rim so that wherever you end up in a game, you know that you have been there before and can finish in that position.  This will quickly make you a better finisher.

· Perfect Shots: Perform 15 on each side and 15 from the middle.  Shot fake and step through to finish strong.  Keep your feet wide, the ball high, shoulders parallel to the baseline, and explode up to the finish.
· Rebounding / Scoring Drill: Toss the ball off the backboard, go get the ball in the air, chin it, go the rim to score.  Be creative.  If you have a partner, get the rebound, chin the ball, snap a quick, overhead pass to the partner on the perimeter, re-post, catch the entry pass and score.
· Superman Drill: Starting outside the lane line, throw the ball off the backboard, go get it, catch, shot fake, and score.
· Be Creative Drill: Spend 5 minutes just “playing” around the rim.  Score from as many different directions in as many different ways as you can imagine.
· Scam Drives (Short Corner Attack Move): Start on the block, flash to the short corner, and catch a pass with your knees bent.  Either cross and go OR shot fake, cross and go.
· Scam Drives with a Partner: Same as above, except drive to the middle every time, get two feet planted, pivot, and pass out to a shooter moving through different spots.  Every few drives, fake to the shooter, step through, and score.
· Post Moves: Choose one post move and its counter move.  Concentrate on perfecting that one move.  Do 25 on each block and 25 from the middle.
· Perimeter Drives: Toss the ball to yourself on the perimeter, catch in a jump stop, cross feet over, and get to the rim.  Finish off of two feet.
· Post Shooting: Pick a spot and shoot 20 in a row.  This is a great opportunity to work on extending your range.
