Get your players working hard as a team with this 12-drill session and build a winning mentality.
After coaching this plan expect to see your players working harder in defence, both as individuals and as a team. This plan also covers the offensive fundamentals.
What's in the Session?
The session begins with fun warm up that get players shooting and developing their 2v1s to promote better movement and spacing. The defensive side of the game is then worked on as players work in small groups to improve their defending both individually and as a team.
Players will get to show what they've learnt in the session as we move into bigger games with 3v3 and 4v4 drills that test your players' defence and offence, before working on tactical development and teaching your players the basic principles of attacking.
The session finishes with a fun but hard-working drill that tests your players shooting.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
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.
