PRACTICE PLANNING
• Time is short…Plan it out • Make things competitive• Drills: short, sweet, and move on (ditch it?)• Have a routine…move quickly• Keep them busy: Use assistants / parents.
Avoid 12 kids in a line (11 aren’t really paying attention).
IMPLIMENTING THE PLAN
• Use pre-gym time (hallway, classroom, lobby) • Stretch, teach, chalk-talk, 3-threats, form
shooting before taking the floor• Teach early in practice• Follow teaching with fun / competitive drills• Teach conceptually by playing 3v3 or 4v4
TEAM WARM-UP DRILLS
• Full court layups (everyone has a ball)• Pairs
1. Passing (all types)2. Catch & sits / 3-Threat3. Form shooting4. Conditioning
• 5 Second Battle• One-Man-Shell
TEAM DRILLS
• Recognition and “War Drill”: www.coachesclipboard.net/WarDrill.html
• Rebound Drill: “WPI”• CUT THROAT• Setting screens• 20 (or 10) PASS• 4v4v4• NEED CLARIFICATION ON ANY
DRILLS, EMAIL ME
TEACH WITH SCRIMMAGE RULES
• No score kept – but 1st team for all players to score wins• Limit Dribbles – Max 3 per touch, no dribbles inside arc, etc• Move w/out it – Certain players can’t score off a dribble• Reward – All baskets count as 1 plus other any other stat • Transition – transitions plus charges count as two, all other
baskets count as one
DON’T INTERRUPT SCRIMMAGES MUCH – IF SO, MAKE IT QUICK – SUB KIDS OUT TO TALK
Slowing Down & Attacking the Rim
Catch and sit / 3-Threat / Look first“Quiet feet” / Off the toesDraw the defender closeRips and Shot fakes 1st dribbleStraight-line drivesMost players don’t beat their guy b/c they
don’t know they have or are unwilling to ‘turn the corner’ and ‘dig a shoulder’
No one asked but….
WHAT I WOULD DO IF I COACHED TRAVEL OR REC BALL?“Be great at the things that take no talent” – B. Stevens
• Pick 3 concepts to emphasize and verbalize every practice and game: Tell you’re team we are going to be better at these things than everyone we play!
• Do 3 drills that put these concepts into action: shell, rebound, cut throat w/ limited dribbles, one transition drill and DO THEM EVERY PRACTICE!
No one asked but….Consistent Terminology
Swing it! – One more! North / South Catch & Look Rip! Where is it? Only guy who hurts you is…? Straight-up! Wait for it
No one asked but….
REMOVE SOME BAD HABITS• Shooting 3’s = Poor form (?)• Poor shot selection• Catch and immediately put the
ball above their head• Catch and dribble• Dribble in place (Ball gets ‘stuck’)• Rebound with one hand • Bigs bring the ball down (chin it!)• Jog back on defense• Don’t wait for and use screen
Other Practice Ideas
• Limit dribbles (big believer in this)• Talking in practice (players)• Transition from drill to drill quickly• Play 5 on 6 vs press• Mix up their partners / groups• Pop quiz• Scrimmages: top 5 or even teams?
BEATING THE ZONE
• Attack it early• Reversal• Paint or short-corner touches• Ball fakes• Skips are tough…so screen the zone• Crash the boards• KY vs 2-3 / ‘22’ vs 3-2
Closing Thoughts
• Basketball is changing. More team play. Need better fundamentals first:FootworkPassing (less dribbling)Movement / spacing / floor balance
• SHOW them good offense = Pass > Dribble. Use YouTube with your team (The Spurs). Teach efficiency
• Teach not to foul• Concepts & Terms > Plays & X’s and O’s• Be in touch if I can help or for a copy of this
