To help your team keep possession for longer and get your players penetrating the space this session develops your players' attacking options.
What's in the Session?
The key to an effective attack is having players who communicate and can get free from their marker using a change of pace and direction. To get your team working on their keep-ball game we kick things off with a full-court game of Street Ball. This game encourages everyone to look for space, call for the ball and re-offer if they don't receive the ball first time round.
Following this purposeful warm-up we then continue to develop the skill before finishing with another conditioned game and a full team cool-down.
Additional Session Notes:
This session has two levels of progressions, written specifically for "less able" and "more able" players. So, whether you're coaching beginners or experienced players, there's a progression for every team.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
