It?s time to get back onto the court. Let?s see which players have enjoyed their off-season slightly too much! This pre-season conditioning session is the perfect way to get rid of some of rust so your team hit the courts in style when it comes to the first competitive games!
What's the aim of this session?
Use this to practice dribbling skills to beat opposition players, develop their defensive ability and transition into attack and driving toward the hoop. With a combination of shooting drills, face-paced mini-games and fitness running this session is sure to put smiles on your players' faces whilst working hard.
Start your season the way you mean to go on - motivate everyone to work hard and give maximum effort for the duration of this session! They?ll get out what they put in!
