Dynamic Warm Up & Athletic Work - 10 to 15 minutes

This is probably the #1 thing missing from most youth
practices. It helps prevent injury, improves performance, and
improve athletic ability. What good is a basketball player who
is injured or is not athletic enough to utilize the basketball
skills developed? The better the player moves, the better the
player performs. Why not spend time on it?
There are a lot of players who have tremendous SKILLS, but
lacked the ATHLETIC ability to make it to the next level.
Because it is the game of basketball, I do try to include a
basketball in the warm up as much as possible. I am going to
present two different dynamic warm ups. If you are fortunate
enough to have enough basketballs for everybody, we have a
basketball-related warm up. For those of you who do not
have very many basketballs, we include a warm up that does
not require a basketball.
Teaching Skills and Using Fun Drills to Improve Skills 30 to 45 minutes
The #1 reason kids quit sports is because it's not fun
anymore. Youth coaches primary focus should be to teach
skills and make it an enjoyable experience! This isn't high
school, college, or even PRO basketball, so don't treat your
practices like it.
Try the skill-fun drill technique. This means that you teach a
skill, then follow up that skill with a fun game or drill to work
on the skill. It helps break up the monotony of practice.
Drills & Games to Practice Offense and Defense - 15 to
25 minutes
