This plan works on your players' confidence in the 1v1, when they're racing toward the opposition's basket, trying to find that extra bit of space to squeeze past and shoot.
By concentrating on the small details such as footwork, keeping a low centre of gravity when turning and making the cut and generally practising these skills at game speed you can really give your players the chance to practice their attacking drives and see what works (and what doesn't) when taking on their man.
What's in the Session?
To get your players focused on their footwork and attacking technique we open this session with a series of 1v1 moves before then getting competitive to teach your players to be more aggressive and positive in the attack when carrying the ball forward.
Don't be slow, race into the opposition's key to score with this attacking session.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
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.
