Several Goals to Have for Basketball Clubs Practice Times

2016/7/27 15:39:50

One of the most difficult parts of being a coach for youth basketball clubs is putting together a great practice session plan. Many first time coaches neglect to think through their schedule and create a strategic plan for teaching important skills to their players. When you sit down to put your plan together, you need to have some direction and have an idea of what goals you want to accomplish through your practice sessions. Here are a few ideas of goals you can use to help you make your plan for all of your practice times.

Getting all of your basketball clubs in top physical shape should be one of your top goals. One of the great things about coaching youth players is that it does not take much for them to get into good physical shape. Basketball is a rigorous sport that requires players to have tons of stamina and endurance. You need to make developing this endurance a priority by having drills and exercises aimed at this goal. Make sure, though, that before you do running drills and other exercises geared toward improving endurance, you do plenty of stretching and warming up to help decrease the risk of getting an injury.

Your next goal for your practice sessions should be to equip your basketball clubs with new individual skills. After your warm up and conditioning sections of the practices, you spend time doing drills that will help them learn the individual skills involved in basketball. You can set up drills to work on passing or ball handling. The drills are designed to create muscle memory so that performing the action involved in the skill becomes second nature to the players. This is also a great time to hold a workshop of sorts to help field any questions or concerns players have about their struggles learning a particular skill.

Another great goal for your basketball clubs practice sessions is building team communication. Basketball is a team sport that requires the participation of each person on the court in order to win. In order to keep control of the ball and keep putting up baskets, players will need to learn how to work together and utilize each other's strengths rather than show off. Set up plays and drills that will force players to work on communication skills so that they become a more effective playing unit out on the court.
