Session Description
Every session will include the following:
- 15 minutes of warm up and basic movement skills
- 45 minutes of individual skill development
- 30 minutes of league play
The basic movement skills learned here are applicable to many different sports and will enable the athlete to increase their overall fitness level and improve their body awareness.
The individual skill development portion of the session will consist of a breakdown of all individual basketball skills such as shooting, passing, ball-handling, etc. Players will also be exposed to individual positional play such as guard, forward, and post play.
League play will allow the athlete to apply the skills they’ve learned to a game situation. In the first two weeks of the program, athletes will be placed into teams who will compete against each other during the league play portion of the program. In league play, coaches will teach the athletes team concepts and situational game play. Coaches will remain with the same group throughout the Fall and Winter sessions.
