It does not matter if you are playing a game, practicing, or just getting ready to work out, we can not stress the importance of warm up drills before you get started.

Warm-Up Drill 1 - Jogging the basketball court

A good cardiovascular warm up is a great way to begin before practicing or playing a game. It gets your heart rate up and the blood flowing. It is a good idea to jog the court before stretching. Be sure to JOG the court and not RUN the court. Running before you are ready can easily cause a muscle pull or strain. Jog for a good 3 to 5 minutes to get started.

Warm-Up Drill 2 - Leg Stretching

After jogging to get started, several leg stretching exercises should be performed. Sit on the floor with your legs together straight out in front of you and slowly reach out for your toes. Don't bounce, but stretch slowly because bouncing can cause injuries. If you can reach your toes, pull your toes towards your body to stretch your calf muscles. Repeat the same exercise with your legs apart.

Warm-Up Drill 3 - Toe Touching

Stand with your legs together and slowly reach down to your toes. Again, do not bounce, but stretch slowly. You can also wrap your arms behind your legs and pull SLOWLY to stretch your hamstrings.

Warm-Up Drill 4 - Leg Lifts

Laying on your back with your legs together, lift your feet off the ground six inches and hold them there for 30 seconds. Repeat this exercise several times. You can also raise your legs six inches and then keeping them at six inches, spread your legs as far as you can.

Warm-Up Drill 5 - Jumping Rope

Jumping rope is a great way to complete your warm up program. A good two or three minutes should be enough to get you ready to get on with your game or your practice.
