Sample Practice Schedules
Basketball Week-5 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)
Playing Dribble Tag for 6 minutes: Divide athletes into four groups — two groups lower ability, two groups higher ability; lower teams play in one half court; higher teams play in other half court; play in 3-minute time blocks; winning teams have more players left on the court at end of time.
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 and shooting; then play Rebound Ball: Two players at a time with coach shooting and players trying to grab ball first.
- Shooting: Receive ball in proper shooting position; shoot without and then with pressure. Set up station with coach under basket who passes to athlete and comes out to offer hand-up or in-face pressure.
- Three-on-the-coach plus One: Three offenders work on passing, moving, rebounding and scoring against one coach-defender and athlete teammate, who offer increasing levels of pressure.
- Three-on-three: Continue focus on defense (step to ball; belly to ball; 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; continue when defense gets ball, pass back to coach with teams switching from offense to defense.

| 35 minutes |
|
Team Concept for Five-on-five Teams |
| |
|
- Continue review of "Go" offense and two-three defense with no opponent. Run to positions from half court and then from defense; proceed into offense.
- Scrimmage in 5- to 7-minute blocks of time.
- Continue jump ball, sideline out-of-bounds play and shooting free throw; add end-line out-of-bounds play 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 (two-on-two athlete teams).
| 10 minutes |
|
Bring team together for cool-down stretching and reward efforts; go over plans for competition this week (uniforms; travel logistics; parent and coach responsibilities). |
