Beginner training plan
Your first lessonBall Handling & Court Awareness (The Foundation)
Focus: Getting comfortable with the basketball and establishing an athletic stance.
Warm-up: Finger taps, ball wraps (around the head, waist, and knees) to build hand-eye coordination.
Lesson 11+Defensive Fundamentals & Integration
Focus: Defensive stance, lateral movement, and putting the first three lessons together.
Warm-up: Defensive slides across the width of the court (or park). Emphasize staying low, keeping the chest up, and not crossing their feet.
Lesson 4-10 Passing, Catching, and Footwork
Focus: Moving the ball efficiently and establishing a pivot foot.
Warm-up: Chest passes and bounce passes back and forth. Emphasize stepping into the pass and snapping the thumbs down.
Lesson 2-3Shooting Mechanics & Layup Footwork
Focus: Introducing the B.E.E.F. principle (Balance, Eyes, Elbow, Follow-through) and finishing near the basket.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonElite Ball Handling & Pressure Navigation
Focus: Creating space, absorbing contact, and breaking down elite defenders off the dribble.
Warm-up: 2-ball dynamic dribbling (alternating, high-low, moving crossovers) to overload the nervous system and force the eyes up.
Lesson 11+Defensive Schemes & Verticality
Focus: Locking down the perimeter, navigating screens defensively, and protecting the rim without fouling.
Warm-up: Full-court zig-zag defensive slides, reacting instantly to the ball handler's changes of direction.
Lesson 4-10Pick-and-Roll Reads & Playmaking
Focus: Manipulating the defense, making high-level reads, and delivering passes in tight windows.
Warm-up: One-handed live dribble passing (push passes and hook passes) hitting targets perfectly in the shooting pocket.
Lesson 2-3Advanced Shot Creation & Footwork
Focus: Shooting off the move, shooting under fatigue, and mastering advanced footwork for separation.
Warm-up: Form shooting with an emphasis on a lightning-quick release and high arc, immediately followed by catch-and-shoot reps moving block to block.
Youth players
Working with kidsFor younger players, the goal is to build a love for the game while establishing rock-solid habits. Attention spans are shorter, so drills need to be fast-paced, game-like, and highly encouraging.
Working with teenagersWhen training middle school and high school athletes—whether running a scholastic program, coaching an 8th-grade team, or prepping players for the club circuit—the intensity ramps up. Teenagers need to understand the "why" behind every movement to buy into the training.
What you need to bringJust a basketball and water.
