Get the basics right and the rest will follow, that's the purpose of this week's session which fine tunes your players' passing, ideal for recapping the basics with young, new or developing players.
What's in the Session?
By starting off slowly this session gradually takes your players through their passing paces. Recapping the core passing techniques in small groups (looking in particular at the chest pass and bounce pass).
After completing the passing skills exercises your players will be rewarded with a full court game, the only stipulation is that they can't run with the ball! This will force your players to think hard and fast about their passing - effectively they're playing basketball with netball rules!
Sportplan tip
Don't underestimate the importance of the basics, get these right and you can guide your players through increasingly complex skills.
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.
