COACHING POINTS

Stationary Dribbling

 

SET-UP: Place pancakes apart facing opposite each other. (like in the diagram - make sure there is ample space between each one so that basketball don't collide)

 

Each child receives a ball. Go through for 30 sec - 1 min each:

 

Start with non-bouncing movements first:

 

- Strength test (child holds basketball with 2 hands whilst coach comes around to hit it making sure it doesn't drop)

- Ball Slap’s (slapping the ball and changing hands)

- Figure 8's: Rolling the ball between both legs using the floor 

1 Clap 1 Catch practise (if too hard, let them bounce the ball then catch it)

 

Bouncing movements:

 

DRIBBLING TECHNIQUE - Knee's bent, feet apart.

- 2 hands dribbling first (using 2 hands, not 1 - makes it easier) Count to 15 as a group

Right-hand dribble: Hip level then progress to Ankle Level (low dribbling)

- Left-hand dribble: Hip level then progress to Ankle Level (low dribbling)

- Crossovers (easy version)

- Sitting down and dribbling (Right hand, followed by the left hand and then playing the drums)

 

Finish with a 10-second countdown together. 

 

When finished, balls in the bag and HI-FIVE!
