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!)
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.
