Frequently asked questions
What to expect when you take a Basketball lesson in Phoenix
The first lesson for a beginner player
Coach Javonntie

1. Warm-up (15-20 minutes) Dynamic Stretching: Focus on mobility to activate muscles and prevent injury, such as leg swings, hip rotations, and arm circles. Ball Handling Drills: Start with basic dribbling exercises, such as stationary and moving ball handling drills (e.g., crossovers, behind-the-back, and two-ball dribbling). This gets your hands and mind engaged and prepares you for game-like movements. 2. Skill Development (30-45 minutes) Shooting Drills: Work on shooting mechanics, starting with form shooting and progressing to spot shooting (catch and shoot, off the dribble, etc.). Focus on consistency, footwork, and shot selection. Finishing Drills: Practice finishing around the rim with different moves—layups, floaters, and dunks. Focus on footwork, timing, and using both hands. Footwork and Pivoting: Exercises like jab steps, triple-threat position, and attacking the basket off the dribble. Ball Handling & Decision Making: Increase the intensity with full-court ball-handling drills, adding pressure and using different moves to beat defenders. This is critical for maintaining control under defensive pressure. 3. Game Situations (20-30 minutes) 1-on-1, 2-on-2, or 3-on-3 Scrimmage: These controlled competitive drills simulate real game situations. Focus on applying your skills in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment. Work on spacing, movement off the ball, and decision-making under pressure. Pick-and-Roll, Defensive Shell, or Offensive Sets: Run through specific plays or strategies, focusing on timing, communication, and execution. This helps refine basketball IQ and team play. 4. Strength & Conditioning (20-30 minutes) Core Strength & Mobility: Exercises like planks, Russian twists, and stability ball work to improve core stability for better balance and explosion. Plyometrics: Jumping drills (box jumps, lateral hops, sprints) to improve explosiveness and vertical leap. Conditioning: Full-court sprints or interval training to build stamina, ensuring you can perform at a high level throughout the game. 5. Cool Down (10-15 minutes) Stretching and Mobility: Focus on flexibility to prevent injury and increase range of motion, using foam rolling and static stretches. Recovery: Briefly go over any feedback, mental focus, or areas for improvement. Reflect on the session, and prepare for the next one. 6. Mental/Film Session (Optional) Watch game footage or breakdown specific plays to improve basketball IQ, recognizing tendencies, and learning how to read defenses and offenses more effectively. Summary: A training session is a comprehensive mix of physical conditioning, skill refinement, tactical application, and mental development. It’s all about maintaining a high level of intensity, focusing on detail, and making sure every repetition contributes to improving as a player. The session could last anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the intensity and specific goals for that day.

What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Seth
basketball coach
More game based. Keeping things fun. I want to make sure that basketball stays fun and engaging. The goal is to keep mettle high and not thwart what they view as a fun sport with, “boring drills.” Although they are of importance, kids have the tendency to back away from things that seem difficult or uncomfortable. My goal is to be the opposite of that!
