Seeing how this is the last session of the series we want your players to have lots of fun in competitive situations.
By pushing your players to the limit in this final session they will be able to use all the skills they have learned in previous weeks.
This is the last session in the series, so no excuses! We want to see maximum energy and enthusiasm. Encourage all the winners and losers in the competitive games in this session because we want to make sure that all the players go away from these sessions wanting to try basketball again or maybe even take it further and more seriously.
