It is important that your whole squad are able to consistently perform well for the full 15-minute quarters and the full duration of the game.
What's in the session?
The session begins with a fun warm-up game to get your players heartbeat raised but also get them thinking about their movement and tactically how they can maintain possession to secure points. The session develops to provide a number of drills that mix up the speed, intensity and duration of your players movements, to replicate a game situation, as your players do not simply run continuously. These drills will get your players tired but also ensure they maintain their quality of movement and skills whilst under fatigue. This is really put to the test in the final game that concludes the session.
Get your players performing consistently whilst under fatigue in order to pull ahead in those tight situations.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
