This is a great games-filled session to help you promote basketball to your youngest players and engage them through the use of fun dribbling activities and shooting drills!
Sometimes new players can be a little bit intimidated when starting out and need a little extra help to take them out of their comfort zones - that's where this week's Session comes in, to help you to get the best out of your players!
From start to finish this session sets out to ensure your youngsters enjoy the game of Basketball from their very first experience (although there's no reason why older players wouldn't enjoy this session too!)
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.
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.
