Hey all! I have been listening to the SAVI podcasts for quite some time now. I coach 6th grade school and AAU basketball. My son is 12 and a pretty talented player, so I have been supporting him on his journey. I really got into small sided games and playing basketball instead of just running drills. In one of the last podcasts there was discussion around formatting practices with the quarters concept. As I am a technology consultant, former software engineer leading a team of 50 software engineers, I decided to create something to help me with my practice plans following this format. I am still working on new features, but it helped me with my practice last night. I thought I would share here in the event others are interested.

We discuss how to use "the process of elimination" to prioritize what your team needs right now, whether it’s disruptive full-court pressure or hitting a 200-shot daily goal. In this video, you’ll learn: 📋 How to structure a 4-Quarter Practice Plan to maximize game-like transfer. 🗣️ The difference between Pre-Practice (building habits) and Prime (high-level teaching). 🧠 Specific small-sided games like 3-on-4 Keep Away and Streak Shooting to build mental toughness. 💪 Why a "neat and tidy" practice plan is often less effective than one that addresses immediate team needs.
