Practice Planning Tips:

• Have some type of practice plan designed for each session

• Use the beginning of practice to explain an important concept, rule or focus 

• When planning practices, consider:

  • Organizing players in small groups (using all of the coaches available). 

  • Designing drills that will use all of the available space, hoops, etc

  • Designing segments that won’t run too long (most drills won’t go beyond 8-10 minutes)

  • Providing a mixture of instruction, competition, and fun!

 

Each practice should emphasize important skills (Shooting, Ball Handling, Passing, Pivoting, Defense, etc).
