This week's skill refresher session is ideal for beginners or out of practice players, as we aim to get players to snap out of the mid-season slump and improve their core game skills.
What's in the Session?
To get the ball rolling we get your players' hands warm, challenging them to pass the ball up 'n' over their heads, around their body and through their legs in a figure of 8! Depending on how experienced your players are you can get players to race one another - who'll be the first player to get the ball round their waist 10 times?
Following these ball handling exercises we then start to work on passing and receiving, to develop good quality passing and receiving, before finishing a full court game to tie everything together.

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.
