COACHING POINTS

Looking for players to compete against each other. A lot of encouragement trying to instill a never give up attitude. Have a few players lined up ready to go straight after - with a fast rotation to ensure everyone is working hard!

Pass, receive and Shoot:

Players pass the ball to the coach or a feeder just inside the key and run immediately after passing towards the basket.

When they are in a prime shooting position they should stop, turn and prepare to recieve a return pass.

As soon as the feeder sees the player is ready they should pass to the shooter who then attempts to score.

Shooting

1-2-3 and rebound:

Player 1 starts the move by passing the ball to player 2. Just as the first pass is being made player 3 runs diagonally in court in preparation to receive the ball from player 2.

Player 2 passes the ball to player 3 who has a shot from the edge of the key.

Meanwhile player 1 should have run up court and is positioned ready to receive the rebound if player 3's shot misses.

Shooting

1 on 1 with entry pass:

White 2 gets in space to recieve a pass from White 1
Upon receiving ball White 1 has three bounces and five seconds to try to score.
