Description

The session focused on developing unselfish teams and emphasizing passing as a crucial skill. The coach provided various drills and concepts to improve passing, decision-making, and team play, including:

  1. Passing drills with off-ball movement, timing, and decision-making (e.g., when to pass vs. shoot).
  2. Transition drills to work on quick ball movement and finding the open teammate.
  3. Collaborative drills involving the post player, focusing on spacing, timing, and high-low passing.
  4. Two-on-two drills to develop dribble-drive principles, off-ball movement, and post-entry passing.

The overarching themes were:

  • Prioritizing passing and unselfish play over individual skills like dribbling.
  • Emphasizing game-like scenarios and decision-making rather than just skill work.
  • Correcting common mistakes and developing good habits through repetition and feedback.
  • Adapting the drills to be applicable for players of all ages and skill levels.

The coach emphasized the importance of maintaining high intensity, game-like execution, and constant communication throughout the session.
