But this is no back to basics session - in the first half of this session we work on the speed and timing of the pass - ensuring that when players lead the receiver they don't pass too far in front or behind them, but directly into the path of their run - so that they can run onto the pass and GO!
Pass to where they're going, not where they are!
In the second half of this session we work on defensive passing - ensuring that after receiving the pass your players shield the ball from the opposition and play it out from the back - calmly and accurately!
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.
