DESCRIPTION

Finish every session with ghost play.

The best place to do this is a side court in a sports hall where you have a wall or access to a throw bag.

If there are no walls or sports bags then use a spin back.

Imagine being in a game situation making passes, moving off picks, posting up and rebounding.

Make all the plays imaginable.

Always be an offensive player doing all the scoring and controlling the game completely.

Pass off the walls, rebound off the wall and through outlet passes, bring the ball up to court and even take foul shots.

Do all the things you would do in a real game.

Cutting off pick to catch and shoot.

Keep the score close playing to 20.

If one team gets to close tip in some miss shots to bring the game back close.

Have the game ties at 18-18, count down from 10 seconds or tip in the miss to win.
