Get your players timing their jumps to perfection with this 5th session where we work on correct footwork to get your players shooting the lay-up from both sides of the basket
The lay-up is something that will take your players some time to learn the footwork and coordination required for a successful shot - it's for that reason that we go step-by-step in this session, giving your players simple instructions so that they can progress at their own pace.
In part two of this shooting skills session we then focus on the offensive rebound. Here we teach your players to practice timing their jumps to regain possession after a missed shot and score the follow-up, before finishing this session with a game where your players can put their newly learned skills to the test!
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.
The closeout is the most repeated defensive action in modern basketball. With fouls per game climbing in the 2025-26 season, coaches must teach defenders to contest the three without surrendering the drive or putting shooters on the line.
The 2-3 zone defence remains one of the most effective defensive systems in basketball when coached and executed properly. This guide covers the fundamentals of running a 2-3 zone, including player roles, rotations, and when to deploy it for maximum impact.
