At Elite Basketball Training, I am always looking for new and creative ways to train my basketball players in a way that is functional to basketball. The Bowtie Agility Drill is no acception. This drill combines agility ladders with defensive slides, thereby making it more specific to the game of basketball.
Bowtie Agility Drill
Agility Ladder One on One Drill
When I create my basketball workouts for the players that train with me, my goal is to keep them as efficient as possible. This means incorporating as many different skills as I can into the drills used in the workout. This includes the obvious skills of dribbling, passing, and shooting but also the skill of agility which is highly important yet often overlooked.
Agility Ladder Finishing Drills for Basketball Training Efficiency
As I have mentioned before, the game of basketball requires so many skills. Successful basketball players must be able to pass, dribble, shoot, and finish. They must also have strength, power, speed, agility, and endurance. All of these attributes are skills that can and must be incoporated into a player’s basketball training regimen. Upon first look, all of this really seems like a lot. However, if you get creative and combine some of the skills into the same drills you can cut down on training time and make the workout much more basketball specific.
One way to combine skills is to incorporate the agility ladder into your workouts with the basketball.
