Teaching point: Week 7

Move without ball/Stay out of corner – Teach your student athletes to be active on offense, even when they do not have the ball. Make sure they do not just stand straight up in one spot but instead stand in “basketball position” with knees slightly bent and hands above the waist. Teach them to move in and out of paint ready to receive a pass, to cut to the basket, set screens and picks and in general to keep moving within your teams offense.

Also, at this age many players dribble into the corner and the offense stalls. Teach your student athletes to work the offense toward the basket and to stay out of the corner.
