In this session we continue to work on and improve the fundamentals learnt in the previous session while beginning to focus on your players' passing game.
Contrary to what some of your players might think, the ball travels faster than a dribbling player and it's for this reason that in this session we focus on your players' ability to accurately pass the ball with a variety of different techniques - including:
Basketball is a game of mistakes, the team who makes the least usually wins the game. Stay positive and encourage players throughout this session and leave them looking forward to next week!
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.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
