Basketball Training Session

This is a general outline for a basketball training session that can be adapted to different skill levels and areas of focus.

Warm-Up (10-15 minutes):

• Light cardio: jogging, jumping jacks, high knees (to get the blood flowing and loosen up)

• Dynamic stretches: lunges, arm circles, leg swings (to prepare muscles for movement)

• Basketball specific drills: dribbling around cones, light shooting

Skill Development (30-45 minutes):

• Focus on 2-3 specific skills you want to improve on. This could include:

  • Dribbling: different dribble moves (between the legs, behind the back), dribbling with both hands

  • Shooting: form shooting, free throws, shooting off the dribble

  • Passing: chest pass, bounce pass, overhead pass, accuracy and speed

  • Footwork: agility drills, defensive stance, jumping drills

• Each skill can be practiced with individual drills or with a partner.

• Make sure to practice with both your dominant and non-dominant hand/foot.
