To put an end to Dilly-Dallying, passive basketball this session aims to get your players charging up the court with assertion, speed and power - making quick decisions to progress the ball from one end to the other, without the ball even hitting the floor at all!
Through a series of passing exercises you'll be able to encourage your team to play the ball around the court, using overlapping runs so that whenever they don't have the ball they're constantly looking to receive it again further up the court!
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.
