Introducing basketball and getting the basics of the game across to your players can sometimes be difficult - you know the rules but how do you relay them to your players without them tuning out?
The solution to this problem is by introducing the rules through games - ensuring that at no point during training do your players run with the ball in hand (no travelling), that there's no contact between players and that they're improving their passing skills. By enforcing these rules in training your players will automatically carry them over to their match play.
"Players don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." Have a lot of enthusiasm in every session you teach. Do this your players will feed off it!
Try this session with your players today, let them have fun and see what they can do!
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.
