A quick breakdown of how a practice may look

1. Dynamic Warm-Up (10-15 Minutes)  
As a basketball coach, one of your responsibilities is making sure that your players are physically prepared before each game and practice.
Click the link below for some warm up ideas!
Stationary ball handling is also a great way to warm the body up and sneak in those fundamentals!
Finger taps, around the world, figure eights and pound dribbles for example.
 
 
2. Skill Development Stations (25-30 Minutes)

Break into 2-3 small groups (if possible) and rotate through skills:

  • Station 1: Dribbling (dominant & weak hand)

  • Station 2: Passing technique

  • Station 3: Layups or footwork basics

3.Team Fundamentals & Defense (20 Minutes):

 Teach core concepts like man-to-man defensive stance, proper spacing, and cutting timing. 

 

4. Special Situations & Systems (15 Minutes):

Walk through inbounds plays, fast breaks, or press breaks depending on team age and upcoming opponents. 

 

5. Small-Sided Scrimmage (15 Minutes):

Play competitive 3-on-3 or 4-on-4 games to reinforce decision-making and conditioning in a live setting.

 

6. Team Huddle & Wrap-Up (5 Minutes): Gather at half-court to review key takeaways, praise effort, and close with energy.
