Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Screen Angles

    Set screens at angles that free the ball handler — flat screens are easy to fight through.

  • Spacing Creates Options

    Maintain 15–18 feet between perimeter players — crowded floors kill driving lanes.

  • Pass to Advantage

    Feed the open player immediately — holding the ball allows defenses to recover.

Safety Notes

  • Wear proper ankle-support shoes to prevent sprains.
  • Warm up with dynamic stretches before play.
