Suicides: running lines with variations
Execution
- Divide the players into 4 or more groups, depending on the number of players.
- Players take position in the ready stance at the baseline.
- At the coach's whistle, the first player of each group runs to the first cone at the free throw line, touches it, and runs back to the baseline to touch it.
- The same player runs to the midline, touches the cone there, and runs back to the baseline to touch it.
- The same player runs to the other free throw line, touches the cone, and runs back to the baseline.
- Finally, the same player runs to the baseline on the other side of the court, touches it, and returns to the starting position.
- Upon return, the second player is tagged and performs the same exercise, followed by the third, fourth player, and so on.
- Players perform the same exercise, but this time dribbling with the ball.
- Same as the previous, but dribbling with the left hand on the way there and with the right hand on the way back.
- Same as the first extension, but dribbling forward with the left hand and dribbling backward with the right hand on the way back.
- Players run/sprint without the ball, perform a jump stop at the cone, pivot, and run/sprint back.
- Players dribble with the ball, perform a jump stop at the cone, pivot, and dribble back.
- Request/demand correct dribbles and jump stops.
- Ensure that each player touches the cone or baseline.
- With many players and groups of more than 2 players, give a task to waiting players, such as shooting on a second court.
- With a large number of players, the exercise can be done on a half court, starting from both sides of the court.
