Spring Basketball Workout #5

In Practice Plans by Brock Bourgase

Emphasis: agility, ballhanding, decisions under pressure, shooting

Summary: I wasn’t happy about the last practice so I thought that I would emphasize three elements in every section to keep the workout focused: athletic abilities, shooting and deliberate play. You have to shoot the ball, but you also need to play defense and make decisions so I did not want to neglect those areas. For a Friday afternoon, I added extra time for the game situations.

Reflection: The training group was small. I kept the same structure but let the players decide on the points of emphasis. We did creating an advantage off the drive, using pindown screens & PNR. There were a lot of shots, finishes at the rim and some ballhandling. I feel better about how this workout in terms of Intensity & Quality.
