Many coaches are unaware that the concept of screening, unlike in many other sports, is perfectly legal in basketball and a fantastic way for your players to obstruct and lose their marker - disrupting the opposition's defensive system.
In this progressive Sportplan session we look at the rules of screening and work through specific patterns of play so that your players can practice creating these static obstacles - whilst also reviewing the V cut.
Not only will this technique frustrate your opposition and create openings for your players, it will also change the set up of the game - as your players come up against different players, possibly resulting in a mis-match where they have a height or ability advantage.
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.
