Being able to look up and recognise where to attack is an integral part of basketball - often having to make offensive decisions in a split-second! But do your players make the right decisions?
If the defender's closing down on your attacker quickly can they use a simple side-step to get round them or should they take the early shot?
By working on your players' 1v1 skills this session aims to hone your players' offensive skills - getting them to spot where the advantage is, grab it with both hands and score more points as a team!
To help your players improve their decision making when sprinting up court, this week's session works on teaching your players how to attack the basket and better read the defence - depending on what the defender shows them!
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
