Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first session, I focus on building trust and confidence. I start with a warm-up, then evaluate basic movement, coordination, and effort level. We’ll go through simple drills like stationary ball handling, layup form, and basic shooting mechanics. I keep it fun and encouraging while learning about the player’s goals. This sets the tone for our training journey.
Lesson 11+Here we build consistency and real confidence:
• Dynamic dribbling (crossovers, hesitations)
• Shooting on the move
• Passing drills and simple 2-man actions
• Game situations (1-on-1 reads, attacking space)
We also introduce fitness and mental toughness drills. Players will feel themselves becoming true hoopers by this point.
Lesson 4-10Here we build consistency and real confidence:
• Dynamic dribbling (crossovers, hesitations)
• Shooting on the move
• Passing drills and simple 2-man actions
• Game situations (1-on-1 reads, attacking space)
We also introduce fitness and mental toughness drills. Players will feel themselves becoming true hoopers by this point.
Lesson 2-3Now that we’ve built trust, we dive into fundamentals:
• Dribbling with both hands
• Finishing around the rim (left and right)
• Shooting form (stance, release, follow-through)
We’ll also work on defensive stance and footwork. I track progress from the first session so players can start seeing growth early.
