Hi Coaches, A dribble that promotes pivoting and linking a variety of other skills is the "Spurs Passing Drill". It is similar to Four Corner Passing but the players dribble to the middle of the area marked and then pivot/spin to make the pass.

Hi Coach, There are a number of different coaching aids on the market to help players with their shooting. As a coach I think helping players to know what they should be looking for is the best option though. Most players spend the vast amount of their time not under the supervision of anyone which practicing. So some easy coaching tips are best served by them using them while shooting all the time. One of the key points we always pass onto players is the need for the shooting arm to line-up with the basket. By this I mean shoulder, elbow, wrist and middle finger lines up with the centre of the basket. Straight arm, straight line to the basket, probably one of the most significant teaching points for increasing shooting accuracy. Hope this helps...

Hi Kyle Great little piece. Agree with the need between balancing fun and development. There is no reason however that development can't be fun. For many coaches it becomes about finding a group of drills which work and then just developing a schedule for implementing these activities. Basketball should be at the junior levels more fun focused. Using drills that involve mass participation, quick reps and plenty of competitive situations will all help achieve this.

Hi Coach, Becoming competent at rebounding is vital to a teams ongoing success. Being able to defensive rebound with a high consistency is non-negotiable. Only just finished writing a post on defensive rebounding and the technical skill involved. We discuss three phases in the technical make-up of defensive rebounding; hit, seal and bury. Have a look and let us know what you think... Regards Functional Basketball Coaching Website: www.functionalbasketballcoaching.com Twitter: @funbballcoach Like Us on Facebook TODAY!
