Drills/Skills Segment

  1. Players will be challenged each time they attend the perfect scrimmage with high level drills
  2. 45 minutes-60 minutes of ball handling, shooting, passing and footwork drills
  3. Defense will also be incorporated into these drills to make it more challenging (and give defensive reps)
  4. Players will start some drills individually but teammates will always be added to make it more game like for the players
  5. Constant real time feedback to improve the girls each rep during the skills/drill session

Example of a Drill:  (Starts as a drill becomes a game like scenario)

  • Start with a catch and shoot
  • Add a defender to close out to contest the shot
  • Add one dribble to create separation from defender and shooting off a dribble
  • Add a pump fake into the routine and then shoot off the dribble
  • Defender closes out: Shooters choice-catch and shoot, pump fake and shoot off the dribble, shoot off the dribble or pump fake into a layup
  • During the drill also instructing proper close-out, knowing the offensive player skill set and attacking accordingly
  • Add a second offensive player to pass to for a catch and shoot
  • Eventually, add a second defender
  • Consistently adding players till we get to a 5 vs. 5 scenario

Game-like scenario Segment

  • Players will be coached during this segment
  • Players need game like situations to improve skills and IQ
  • We will utilize the scoreboards to create game scenario's and the players and coaches work together to "run through" the situations
  • Players will be able to play out countless game situations from jump ball to final possession

Scrimmages: 

  • Players will have play scrimmages and have varying focuses weekly
  • Defense and transition will be a focus in every scrimmage
  • Intense scrimmages encourage players to work on things they may not do in a formal game (but aspire to through these opportunities)
  • These scrimmages are NOT coached
  • Music is on during the scrimmages to set the right atmosphere
