This week we've got a session with a difference for your players - working on Agility, Footwork and Speed.
So "what's the difference?" - well the big difference is that for the first half of this session your players won't touch a basketball. To make sure everyone's fully focused on their footwork we take away the distractions of basketballs and get your players to work on:
The benefits of teaching these simple movements to your players is that in their next game it'll improve their movement and help them to get themselves into a strong position to make another movement, shot or attacking dribble.
So come on! Get your players motivated and moving with this week's session - Try it today!
