Get your players working together with this team session - perfect for building team chemistry and preparing your players for their next big game! Having a good team spirit out on court will lead your players to winning their fixtures, and communication is vital to succeed.
Throughout this session we focus on team defence (defensive stance, help defence and boxing out) before then working on individual and team rebounding skills.
Try this session today and encourage your players to work hard and compete against each other - while learning the importance of a solid defence!
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.
