Sample Practice Schedules
Basketball Week-8 Practices
Suggest Two Practices Minimum (repeating and reinforcing concepts for both)
| 25 minutes |
|
Warm-up: Review pre-game warm-up (jogging, then partner dribbling and passing)
Stretching: Calves, hamstrings, quads, groin and arms
Lay-up and shooting (two lines: one shooting, the other rebounding)
Continue Fast Break drill: Coach throws long; athlete runs, grabs ball first (does not dribble a bouncing ball), then dribbles in for lay-up, gets rebound and passes to coach; repeat coming back down court with new coach throwing ball. |
| 20 minutes |
|
Skill Work (one or two coaches per basketball; stations 5 minutes each; jogging to next station; athletes are ability-grouped to match strength and size for safety) |
| |
|
 Rebounding: Rebound Ball. Three players at a time, with coach shooting and players trying to grab ball first.
- Shooting: Rapid Fire Shooting from both sides in groups of four with two balls and two shooters. Set up station with rebounder, passer and shooters; rotate clockwise every 30 seconds.
- Three-on-three: Offense-defense. Defense steps to ball, belly to ball and "closes the door;" offense works with teammates, moves to get open, rebounds and is aware of 3-second lane violation; when defense gets ball, pass back to coach with teams switching from offense to defense.
|
| 35 minutes |
|
Team Concept for Five-on-five Teams |
| |
|
- Scrimmage in 5- to 7-minute blocks of time.
- Continue jump ball, sideline out-of-bounds play from both sides of court, shooting free throw and end-line out-of-bounds play at both sides of court to score under own basket.
|
Individual Skills Work with ISC Athletes
- 10m Dribble; Target Pass; Spot Shot
- Conduct ISC and score; record efforts.
- Then play low-organized fun games using skills (three-on-three athlete teams).
| 10 minutes |
|
Bring team together for cool-down stretching and reward efforts; go over plans for culminating competition this week (uniforms; travel logistics; parent and coach responsibilities). |
