Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIntroduction to basic game rules and guidelines. We’re getting familiar with the game starting off with stretching and introduction to court lines, basic rules, and positions in the sport. We will also go over triple threat stance that signifies we’re ready to any passing, dribbling, or shooting. We will start the to learn the dribbling process while keeping our head up and away from the ground/ball and finally finish off with footwork.
Lesson 11+The further lessons will include specific practices. Like for example ball handling work. We will go through a series of “obstacles” to get around when practicing different dribbling moves. Another example would be finishing and off hand work when working with the ball. We can learn different scoring methods such as floaters, reverse layups, etc.
Lesson 4-10We will start to include real-game play mechanics during lessons. We will also bring defense to the table teaching basic defensive slides and techniques to stay defending your opponent. We will then practice off-ball movements, meaning backdoor cuts, v cuts, off ball screens and such. We will then go over different combinations of dribble moves to be able to get free on defenders. If we have three on three opportunities we will engage in this just to have game like situations. We will also work on rebounding, the importance of close outs and box outs.
Lesson 2-3We now focus on learning passing: chest pass, bounce pass, and overhead passes while also learning to catch said pass. We will do passing drills in which we are also moving while passing allowing for a better development of hand eye coordination. Shooting practice and form development/mechanics will be next. Using the BEEF method ( Balance, Eyes, Elbow, Follow through) we will start to develop from shorter distance shots to further out.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonWe will start with stretching of course and a series of warm up drills including ball dribbling combinations just to get the blood flowing. For the first half we will work on ball handling and the effective use of different combinations against different defenders. We will shoot free throws in between as from prior experience are very vital in game.
Lesson 11+We go over consistency in skills. We build confidence through completion of said drills. We will go over how to play against defenders who are taller, faster, smarter. We will do 5v5 where I will have some players who should be able to provide high competition and keep you on the move and constantly thinking. We will go over high intensity finishing drills and defensive drills.
Lesson 4-10We will build game concepts and basketball IQ. We are now going to emphasize high intensity conditioning. We emphasize the idea of defense and how to play with certain team members. We will effectively use full court situations where we will run up and down the court in 3v2 to 2v1 scenario. Effectively building up defense and awareness. We will start to go over different decisions in offense and how to avoid certain mistakes.
Lesson 2-3We will go over play making and different decision making in game time situations. For example decision making when it comes to using pick and rolls. We will have the use of 1v1 against players with a limited dribble count just so we can effectively use the amount of dribbles given.
