Basketball Practice Plans: Effective basketball practices have to include warm-up, fundamentals and game preparation, and the best way to ensure all these elements are covered is to use a basketball practice plan. A practice plan will keep you organized during the basketball practice, showing you specifically how long to run each drill for. Basketball practice plans can be used at all competitive levels, from elementary school to professional.
A lot of times my players are dragging and see no immediate reward for hard work, so they may slack off. Therefore, I try to make every one of the basketball practice drills a competition and the winners choose the losers’ punishment (10 sidelines, 1 suicide, etc.)
This is one of my favorite basketball drills and plays that I use with new teams or beginning players.
Here are some basketball practice drills to liven up your practices and have some fun. We like to mix things up so to make training more fun every so often have a relay race session.
One of the best suggestions I can give for basketball coaching help was one my basketball coach used when I was in high school. It is excellent for building player/coach rapport as well as team building.
When I am teaching basketball skills I like running this basketball drill as the skill builder. This basketball drill is run using two basketballs.
