Houston
Knights Guards and Forwards,
This workout should take from 1 hours to 1 ½ hours to
complete. The drills can be done by
yourself. To simulate a pass, spin
the ball backwards and let it bounce back to you. Realize it is designed to use the foul shots as rest and does
not include any “rest” periods. You
will need a stopwatch or a wristwatch with a second hand. You will also need
an obstacle to use as a defender. I
suggest you use chairs. It helps if
you can find someone to help you time the drills. Try to complete the workout without taking a break. Have water handy and drink it as you need
it. The first time, try to do it with
10 foul shots instead of 15 at each break.
Then work up to 15 in later workouts.
You should do this workout 3-4 times per week.
Call me if you have any questions,

Introduction
This is the workout program we
have used at Five-Star Instructional Basketball Camps which has been
developed over the 35 plus years we have been in existence. This program should help you to organize
both your time and skill workouts to get the maximum benefit as a guard or
wing-forward player. Join us next
month when I will provide you the post player workouts. The time it
takes to complete the program will depend upon your skill level and the
efficiency of your workout program. Remember there is no getting around
putting in repetitions to automate your perimeter skills.

How to Read The Screen’s
Take 3 chairs and put them parallel through the lane so one is in the middle
of the lane, one is on the right side of the court,
and one is on the left side of the court- the chairs
should be no more than 5-7 feet from the rim.
This drill is a time drill- two minutes on the clock.
Passer is at the top of the key between half court and the 3-point line.
Rules are that you can not come off the screen the same way twice in a row-
there are three ways to come off the screen- Straight,
Curl, and Flair- and you must call out how you are
coming off the screen . After you
shoot you return back to the baseline and go
off another screen
