Beginner training plan

Your first training sessionBuild fundamental skills (dribbling, passing, shooting, defense) • Teach teamwork and court awareness • Make it fun to encourage consistent effort

Training Session 2-3• Dribbling with both hands (strong and weak) • Proper shooting form • Accurate passing under light pressure • Basic defensive stance and movement

Training Session 4-10Dribble Under Pressure: 1-on-1 full court, defender works on cutting off angles • Passing on the Move: Full-court passing drills with layups • Catch & Shoot + Closeout: Shoot while being lightly contested

Training Session 11+Start installing simple structured plays: • Pick-and-roll basics • Off-ball screens and flare cuts • Backdoor cuts vs overplays • Motion offenses like 5-out or 4-out 1-in with rules: • Pass and cut • Replace the cutter • Drive and kick • Fill the corners

Advanced training plan

Your first training sessionFocus: Elite control under pressure, escape dribbles Goals: Develop ambidexterity, handle traps, and change pace/speed Drills: • 2-ball dribbling (stationary + moving) • Full-court cone zig-zag under pressure • Trap & escape drill (double team simulation) • Hesitation, in-and-out, and misdirection series Key Teaching Points: • Keep eyes up, low stance, protect with off-hand • Create space with hips and footwork, not just the dribble

Training Session 11+Focus: Chemistry, accountability, and unity Goals: Build a mentally tough, connected team Drills: • “Trust the Pass” full-court flow drill • Defensive shell with live communication grading • Team huddles (self-led before drills) • 5-on-5 where captains coach teammates Key Teaching Points: • Culture is built daily, not just in games • Compete without ego—serve the team

Youth players

Working with kidsWhen working with kids it’s important to focus on fun, fundamentals, and building confidence. Keep drills simple, high-energy, and age-appropriate. Prioritize effort and positive habits over perfection. Remember, the goal is to help them fall in love with the game first, skills will follow with time and consistency.

Working with teenagersWhen coaching teenagers, it’s key to balance skill development with accountability and motivation. They need structure, but also room to grow and express themselves. Focus on refining fundamentals, teaching game IQ, and building mental toughness. Connect with them as people first, when they trust you, they’ll work harder and develop faster.
