Practice Planning Tips
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).
