This week's session aims to toughen up your players and give them confidence they need when faced with a one v one situation.
This session aims to unlock your players' creativity to beat their opponents' on 1v1 situations. They will learn what works and what doesn't when trying to get round the last man in defence under your guidance. Encourage them to try a combination of speed, feints and skills as they develop into a defender's worse nightmare - a confident player who can beat their opponent is great to have in those match winning situations. This session is packed full of drills that involve sprinting, decision making, awareness and dribbling. This session is fun, competitive and great to assess your players' individual qualities. Use this session this week and enjoy a successful season, the only way is up!

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.
