Here are some drills for the coaches looking for variety during Pre-Season conditioning. Alan Stein, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for DeMatha Catholic High School boys basketball program, offers a competitive way to condition your players.

Alan Stein’s notes about the drills in the video:

The first 3 drills were done at 50-60% of maximum effort as part of our warm-up. Everything after that was 100% and competitive! Races included: triangle agility with full court sprint, sprint vs. backpedal, center circle chase, inside-out full court gauntlet, and 3 cone lane drill.

The entire workout only lasted 30 minutes. When it comes to competing, we want to stress quality over quantity.

Amar’e Stoudemire is one of the most exciting Big Men in the NBA. This summer he held his Nike Skills Academy camp for high school and college centers.

There are some great drills in this video for centers or post players looking to add a move or two to your game.
