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.

Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
