About This Activity
Description
Location: October 7, 14, & 28 - Stoner Prairie School | October 21 - Savanna Oaks School
This 4 week program is designed to improve a player’s ability to shoot, create space, relieve pressure, finish near the basket, use screens and make decisions/reads. Each one hour session will focus on improving these skills and applying them to competitive small sided games – 2V2 and 3v3. Constraints applied to these games will expedite the application of the skills focused on for that week. There will not be 5 on 5 games. Games will be smaller and faster to allow more opportunities and repetitions for each player. The modern game requires all 5 players on the court to be able to shoot the ball and score, allowing for appropriate spacing and pressure on the defense. These skills will be transferable to games regardless of the team or system you play in.
