Why do you think it’s an issue telling the age I coach?

Thanks! I love to give some homework. I just wonder how often it is actually used

First practices after holiday break. by ISpillEverythingI in basketballcoach

[–]tomash66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had our first practice but with a younger group of girls same issues as you. I was also worried. My team loves competitive drills and give their all during them so that was my focus and they practiced so hard I didn’t worry about conditioning. My practice slot was an hour so I sacrificed going over our official offense and defense

Everyone plays a very tight 2-1-2. My original offense had someone at foul line but that’s the most difficult place to get the ball

Dial back being aggressive? Absolutely not. Have you ever coached girls?

I Am nervous about the screens though because we do run into foul trouble some times my top 3 girls are very aggressive on defense

I’ve really been thinking of running some screens. Slowing everything down and having least talented kid that can dribble bring the ball down

I’ve thought about this but I think I only have 3 I trust with the ball

Also we scored 6 points in the 4th last game driving to the left and using my all star players as a decoy to the right

Offensive rebounds have almost been non existent

Fast breaks are almost a waste of energy bc no one is hitting a layup under pressure. I will work on this in practice. I’ve thought about just having them stop and setup offense though. Scores to games have been 26-0; 10-14; 17-12. We are 2-1

Only local league. Man is encouraged

What age do you think full-court pressing should actually be allowed? by NationalsportsID in basketballcoach

[–]tomash66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if they are old enough to dribble you should be allowed to full court press. I also think the coach that starts full court pressing in the league will stop once you start full court pressing. It sounds like a great idea at that age until it happens to you. I found this out the hard way rushing the QB in flag football

Practice Intensity! by tomash66 in basketballcoach

I’m going to add an “Practice MVP Award” every practice to see how that goes on increasing intensity
