As someone who is new to coaching this site was just what I needed, drills that I can study on the pc and then take with confidence to my training sessions.
What are some defensive drills for zone to 8 and 9 year olds? What are some good drills for teaching players to play offense against a zone? Thanks, John
When i crossover or dribble sometimes my palm touches the ball? i was taught to never let the ball touch your palm and to use your fingerpads is this normal?
I'm a basketball coach in India, coaching at college level. In your opinion and experience which type of defenceworks best? So far my experiences shows that half court pressure, working man to man to deny the pass works best. Feedback and suggestions welcome! Thanks,Mahesh
How do you teach a girl to dunk. She is 5'6. Is this possible?
what are the things you would expect to see if someone is shooting in basketball perfectly?
My team can't dunk, is there a way of teaching a technique to jumping higher?
Hi all, great website. Just wondering if anyone has any tips/drills on really drumming into the kids that as soon as they get passed the ball they must dribble/shoot/pass rather than just running (and travelling!) down the court! Bear in mind these are beginner little girls who have never played before!! I'm doing lots of dribbling drills but thought you might all have some tips. Thanks in advance :)
how do i increase my vertical?
I did not make my 9th grade tryout team and I want to make the team for my 10th grade tryouts...
I am currently coaching chinese students at an average age of about 7. Its for a basketball camp so there are no competitions or games to prepare for, merely working on individual skills. The problem I have is mostly with the language. I am currently a student so I know some of the language but not enough to exlain how a drill will work. Anyone have experience with this or any advice otherwise? I am a just a basketball player turned coach so any advice no matter how simple would be appreciated.
I'm doing a lesson where pupils have to explore themselves how to outwit an opponent by putting them in a 2v1 and 2v2 situation. When we discuss this, what answers should I look for exactly? Just in preparation for what could arise?
Why is it more important for guards to have excellent dribbling skills than it is for a centre?
Hi there, I am looking for some advice on centre basketball drills that will help me improve, also, has anyone got any idea's to help me become ambidextrous with my dribbling.

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm I was starting to lose. My girls are keener than ever now to play their next game.

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.
What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
I can't get enough of the Sportplan, It has given me back the enthusiasm i was starting to lose. My girls are so keen and are ready at 14 to take the next up in their game. Sportplan will help no end.
