Keeping it fun
Playing basketball should be enjoyable from the very beginning so this session looks at how you can develop your players while ensuring they have fun and maintain their enthusiasm for the game.
The plan uses fun warm up games as ice breakers for new members of your squad to get them used to dribbling and moving around the court.
Developing skills
Then move onto the game scenario drills to allow them the chance to practice fundamental parts of the game including passing and cutting to ensure your players develop.
A session like this in a young player's career could be the difference in them sticking with basketball or going to another sport.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
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.
