Spending time during practices working on your defensive skills with teammates is the best way to simulate real game situations. For the last 50 minutes of your workout, concentrate on your ball handling and shooting skills. After you finish any drill, take time to shoot free throws. Do not continue on to the next drill until you make two foul shots in a row. No matter what position you play on the court, you have to be able to handle the ball well.
Turnovers kill a team's momentum and often give the opposition easy baskets.
Spend about 25 minutes working on your ball-handling skills. Break down these 25 minutes according to your strengths and weaknesses. If passing is your strong suit, but dribbling is problematic, spend 15 minutes on dribbling and 10 minutes on passing. Passing The best way to practice passing by yourself is to simply practice all the different passes against a wall. Try throwing chest passes, bounce passes, outlet passes and baseball passes against a wall, making sure to throw them as close to where you think chest level would be on a teammate.
