Sample Practice Schedules
Basketball Week-2 Practices
Suggest Two Practices Minimum (repeating and reinforcing concepts for both)
| 20 minutes |
|
Warm-up: Jogging (forward then backward; side to side [defensive sliding])
Dribbling, passing and moving to ball (in pairs and moving sideline to sideline)
Stretching: Calves, hamstrings, quads, groin and arms. |
| 25 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: Go to the Ball (from rolling ball, bouncing, tossing; add shooting with athletes still in line, but coach shooting from side). Set up station with coach and line of athletes; athletes go to the ball, catch ball, bounce pass back to coach and go to end of line.
- Shooting: Pick up ball in proper shooting position (shooting hand on top; guide hand at side); progress to receive pass, shoot and follow for rebound; then short shots. Set up station with coach under basket and in line of athletes along lane line.
- Two-on-the-coach: Two offenders work on passing, moving, rebounding and scoring against one coach-defender who offers increasing levels of pressure.
- Three-on-three: Continue work on defense (step to ball; belly to ball / add Close the Door on drive). Focus is on defense, reacting and moving to stop ball; start by passing the ball with defense stepping to ball and belly facing ball, then dribble to gap with defense "closing the door" with closest defenders coming together and not allowing offender to go through the gap.

| 35 minutes |
|
Team Concept for Five-on-five Teams |
| |
|
- Offense and two-on-three defense with no opponent - continue work on "Go" offense. Run to set-up positions from half court; proceed into offense.
- Then scrimmage in 5- to 7-minute blocks of time.
- Add jump ball practice to start game, add sideline play at offensive end: team goes to "set up" position with best passer or point guard taking ball out of bounds.
|
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 (two-player Keep Away from Coach).
Conditioning Activities: Jump-the-Lines; Sit-ups; Push-ups
| 10 minutes |
|
Bring team together for cool-down stretching and reward efforts: winner's circle with each athlete receiving accolades; coach notes one positive per athlete. |
