Coaching Sessions for Juniors' Coaches

Coaches from Hawks WABL have prepared three coaching sessions targeted at novice coaches and coaches of young basketballers. The sessions will be held at WABC; there will be WABL games on at the same time and anyone who would like to join in for the whole session or part there-of is very welcome.

 The three sessions planned are on:                Sunday 25th July, 11:00am                Sunday 1st August, 11:00am       Sunday 22nd August, 3:00pm 

The sessions will be reasonably fluid and no pressure, to suit the audience of the day. Session One would be most suitable for younger team coaches (Miniball and U12) and Sessions two and three would build to older age groups (U14 and up). We have allowed for an hour each session. Handouts will be provided at end of each. The itinerary planned thus far is:

 Session 1:   

  • Planning a training session.   
  • Individual Offense skills - ball handling drills, passing, dribbling and shooting.
  • Team Offensive drills    -    Transition and half court.

Session 2:

  • Fitness training and stretching
  • Individual defensive skills - On ball (footwork, containment and hands pressure), and off ball  (flat triangle, denial, open / closed stance etc)
  • Team defensive skills and drills - positioning, ball side and help side.

Session 3:

  • Team offense fundamentals - Court balance, spacing, timing. Cutting - V-cut, flash cut, back door cut, pass and cut, screening - on ball and off ball, screen and roll etc.....   
  • Team  defensive fundamentals - Shell drill, help and recover, one pass away, two passes away etc.
  • Rebounding, Boxing out and Outlet pass.
