Basketball Practice Plans Bundle for Coaches

If you’re just starting out coaching your son’s or daughter’s basketball team, you’re about to depart on a great journey. And, for you coaches who have already had the privilege, you know what a great time it can be.

There are lots of practices and games, highs and lows, and opportunities to interact with players, other coaches and parents.

Coaching youth basketball is all about teaching. Don’t let your game time watching of college and pro games fool you. The real work happens in practice before the prime time televised games. The same goes for youth basketball.

One of the first things the top coaches will tell you is that it pays to have a plan for the season. You’ll need both an overall plan for the order you’ll be teaching things from practice to practice, and individual practice plans to make the most out of your teaching time on a practice by practice basis.

Coaches have confidence and can coach in the moment. They don’t need to worry about what’s the next item to plan. It’s written out for you. This guide provides talking points for pre-practice meetings, court-tested drills and add-ons like inbound plays and an off-season workout.

A common problem with many newly assigned youth basketball coaches is that they spend too much time scrimmaging. Why? It’s usually because they haven’t prepared. Some scrimmaging is needed for a team, but a coach must teach. And when a team is scrimmaging 80% of every practice, all of the players are not learning as much as they could.
