Hey everyone, Wanted to ask how often the skill of passing truly gets worked on in your drills/sessions? Is it something you add to ballhandling? If so, how consistent are you with adding a passing component? Or is it more of an instinctual skill that improves over time with live reps and small sided game structure? Keep up the great work everyone

What are some of the things you focus on early in practice to get your players ready for season??

One of my last sessions turned into a coach session with my son. We worked on things he wanted to prove on. We started with a ball handling drill to protect and to control the 🏀 Check it out!

Warm-ups are essential before practice and training for a few reasons, but they are often done wrong. Warm-ups include the following: 1. Warm up the body (most obvious reason) 2. Prepare the body for demands seen in the sport 3. Mentally prepare/engage athlete I see #2 and #3 either done wrong or skipped in most training or practices. A light jog does not prepare the body for the demands of basketball, nor does it mentally prepare and engage athletes. Personally, I love to get the body moving for 1-2 minutes, then hit some Isometrics to prepare the muscles and tendons for the demands of basketball (tons of deceleration, stopping, and accelerating), then some partner warm-up series where we start to compete with each other and engage the mind. How do you guys prepare your athletes? What are some fun warm-ups you can share?
