One player from each basket shoots 2 free throws. We must make at least 8 of 12 or we run 3 sideline sprints. If it has been a particularly grueling practice, we will mix in push-ups, sit-ups, etc. The gym is quiet as they shoot and there is pressure with a consequence hanging over their head. Another we do is to have all the players at one basket...each takes a turn shooting two free throws. The others scream and yell and try to distract them. The goal is to focus on form, "What do I need to do to make this free throw" to clear the mind. You can put a penalty on this one if you want to, as well.
