The focus of this Session is to coach the correct technique for dribbling - helping players to become more familiar with ball control and to know when to dribble, and more importantly, when not to!
As well as looking at the FUNdamentals, such as using your finger tips and not your palm to bounce, we also look at some more advanced dribble techniques - designed to improve your players' control and mastery over the ball and to teach them to feel the ball. For instance do your players know how to Dribble a Figure of 8, Drop and Switch or perform the Spider Dribble?
In this fun control and co-ordination we look at ways of improving the transportation of the ball. The three main times your players will use the dribble are: To progress the ball up the court - To drive at the basket and find space!
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.
