Our second off-season development session gives coaches an idea of what their players need to be doing during their summer individual training.
Players should still be working hard, even during the off season, and with consistent practice you should see major improvements in your players thanks to this session.
What's in the Session?
The session involves over 15 individual practices to improve your players? ball handling, dribbling, passing with both strong and weak hands, inside scoring and jumping ability.

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.
