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.
Talent wins games, but chemistry wins championships. Building a positive team culture, establishing shared values, and developing trust creates teams that exceed the sum of their parts.
Getting to the rim is only half the battle. Converting against shot blockers and help defenders requires a toolkit of creative finishes. The best scorers have multiple ways to score at the basket.
Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
