Coaching Points

20 Mins

Core Drills/Activities:

1. Standing Layup Two line drill – Involves two lines of players standing to each side of the basket. One line takes a standing layup and the other collects/rebounds the ball after the shot is taken and the players swap lines. After each player has had a few shots the shooting line is changed to the rebounding side to let players attempt it with their other hand.

Aim – To introduce the Layup in Basketball. To develop the players ability of the Layup

Objectives – By introducing situations where players will have to think quickly.Allow players a better understanding of the technique used for a Layup.Involve quick thinking during the drill to mimic a game situation.Allow players to try new techniques and ways to perform the Layup

Equipment – Cones, Basketballs,

Drill 1

At the peak of your jump release the ball towards the corner of the backboard square

Keep arm extended when performing the Layup

Drill 2

Remember to leap off your inside foot At the peak of your jump release the

ball towards the corner of the backboard square

Keep arm extended when performing the Layup

2. Driving Layup Two line drill - Involves two lines of players standing to each side of the basket. One line takes a driving layup and the other collects/rebounds the ball after the shot is taken and the players swap lines. After each player has had a few shots the shooting line is changed to the rebounding side to let players attempt it with their other hand.

Can be changed to Full court Layup race which involves two teams at each side of the court having to run to the opposite basket and score a Layup. If player misses then they try until they get it in. First team to get all their players to score wins.

Coaching Session Review for Developing Stage Session 1 Criteria (D)

1. Outline the aim/objectives of your coaching session Aim – To introduce the Layup in Basketball

Objectives To establish the release of the basketball for the Layup To establish the stepping movement involved in the Layup To establish the jumping action for the Layup To provide a basic understanding of the rules of basketball

2. Were the aim/objectives met during the coaching session?

Yes the aims and objectives were met because during the drills the class showed an improvement of the Layup they performed from start to finish and had gained more knowledge of basketball including the rules, technique etc.

3. Evaluate what aspects were successful and what aspects need improving in

My time keeping on the session could have been improved as I had used too much time by the time I moved on to my cool down which

meant it was rushed and not completed properly

My dress code was professional as I wore my full tracksuit, polo shirt and had a whistle and a stopwatch

My introduction was kept to the point and clearly stated my aims and objectives. My health and safety points were mentioned during the start of the warm up.

Warm up was useful as the last part was related to a game of basketball and helped participants understand a pressured game situationMy demonstrations could have been explained better and I didn’t demonstrate enough as I would usually only do 1 demonstrations and move on which lead to some people not understanding the drill

My positioning was good as I was moving around group to group and was also standing in a good position when demonstrating

Each drill progressed well on to the one after it and it got increasingly more difficult every time

Due to a small class there wasn’t a lot of cues which meant there was a good amount of participation in the session

Class control was kept good throughout the session until the explanation of the game where people were talking and I didn’t notice because I was facing the other way

The group were motivated as I included a small challenge with a Layup race which meant they wanted to carry on with the session

My individual feedback was quite good as I was going from group to group and telling people what they were doing right and wrong. However my group feedback needed a bit of improvement as I didn’t really give any

Conditioned game was appropriate for the activity as the coned off areas helped emphasise the layup

Cool Down and my debrief felt as though they were rushed as I didn’t carry out stretches for long enough and the Q&A was also very quick

Time management could have been improved as drills were too long and cool down was too short but the pace of delivery was good throughout the session

4. What changes would you make to the coaching plan?

Manage my timings better by following my guidelines and try to speed up marking out the drills

1. Ball familiarity – Everyone gets a ball and finds a space in the hall. Everyone gets instructions to dribble the ball and try and sit down while dribbling and keeping their head up. Also get told to go on tiptoes.

2. Dribble Course – Players told to dribble in and out of cones. Told to do a crossover at each cone.

3. Dribble course with a Defender – Similar to drill 2 except 2 defenders are on lines now trying to stop the dribbler from getting past them. If

Aim – To get everyone thinking about dribbling and to try new moves. Get a better understanding of dribbling. Involve quick thinking during the drill to mimic a game situation

Objectives – By breaking down the technique involved in dribbling to make it easier to performIntroducing pressured events to what players would experience in game to help make better decisions during the gameAllow players to try dribble moves with little pressure

1. Outline the aim/objectives of your coaching session

Aim - To introduce Dribbling in Basketball

Objectives To establish the hand position for dribbling To establish the correct height for the ball to be bounced To establish the correct position and footwork for the Dribble


The aim was met during the session however some of the objectives were not met due to by the end of the session participants were still using the wrong hand position when they were dribbling and using two hands. However I would say that everyone had the correct footwork and position when they were dribbling

3. Evaluate what aspects were successful and what aspects need improving in your coaching session

My time keeping on the session was good as the schedule I had planned I kept to and followed the times on it


My introduction was kept to the point and clearly stated my aims and objectives. My health and safety points were mentioned during the start of the warm up

Warm up was useful as it involved a small game which can help in a real game such as keeping your head up to look for space, pass etc.

My positioning could have been improved as I had to partner up with one of the participants for around 2 minutes while his partner was away to the toilet and I felt I didn’t get to see the rest of the

class as much as I would have liked to

Each drill progressed by difficulty level and gave the participants a challenge

The class was quite big and there was some ques when it came to the 2nd and 3rd drill which could have been worked on by adding an extra line

Class control could have been improved as during my explanations some participants would either talk over me or not pay attention and not know what to do.

The group were motivated as they wanted to beat the defenders on the final drill and were excited and motivated to do so

My individual feedback was ok as some people improved their technique when I gave them some advice but sometimes people wouldn’t listen and their dribbling technique was poor

Conditioned game was appropriate for the activity as the gates helped emphasise dribbling and helped improve it in a pressured situations

Cool Down and my debrief were appropriate and included the correct muscles to stretch and included a short summary of the session

Time management was good as drills were kept to appropriate times and the session overall was kept to the 30 minute mark

4. What changes would you make to the Maybe next time make the drills more challenging and also keep

coaching plan? the class focused and under control more by asking them questions about what I told them about a certain technique so I know their paying attention.

Core Drills/Activities

1. Form Shooting – Players stand around 2 feet away from the basket and practice their shooting form and to get a better understanding of the technique used for shooting and to help them for the next drill

2. Two Line Shooting Drill - Involves two lines of players standing to each side of the basket. One line takes a jump shot from one of the cones and after the shot the other collects/rebounds the ball and the players swap lines. After each player has had a few shots the shooting line is changed to the

Aim – To help players with their technique of shooting. To introduce shooting into basketball

Objectives – To provide a better understanding of players own shooting ability. To establish a realistic shooting scenario. To allow players to practice shooting and new skills with little pressure

Equipment – Cones, Basketballs, Baskets, Markers, Bibs

Drill 1 To begin the shot, crouch down with

your knees apart and face the basket Aim for the ball to loop quite high and

focus on the shot to be continuous and try to get into a rhythm




Straighten legs when releasing the ball and release the ball at the peak of your jump

rebounding side to let players attempt it with from a different angle. Each time a player gets a shot in they move to the next cone which will be further away. If they miss they stay at the same cone

3. Catch and Shoot – Similar to drill 2 except one line sits under the basket which are defending and one line stands just behind the free throw line which is the shooter line. The defending line passes the ball to the shooter line and then the defender runs towards the shooter to add some pressure to the shooter whereas the shooter needs to try and score with the added pressure. Players swap lines with each other after each shot.

Conditioned Game – Focus on shooting within a game by telling attacker they can’t

Use you weaker hand as a support for the shot and this would help balance the ball

enter the area close to the basket so they have to take a jump shot. Only defenders are allowed in their own area and attackers have to stay outside the area

Aim - To introduce Shooting in Basketball

Objectives To establish the arm movement and technique involved with the

shot To establish the body position for shooting To establish the release of the ball when shooting


The aim was met as the children did have a basic understanding of the shooting technique however they sometimes didn’t understand

the one hand shooting motion and kept on using two hands

My time keeping was ok throughout the sessions as some the warm up was kept to the correct time but during the drills some may have been shorter than expected


My introduction was kept to the point and clearly stated my aims and objectives. Health and safety points were also added and participant injuries were also covered

Warm up was useful as it helped match what would happen in a real game of basketball as someone might steal the ball and players need to learn to shield the ball with their body to mirror a real game

My positioning was good as I was moving around group to group and standing in between groups when explaining drills and demonstrations

Each drill progressed well on to the next one as it slowly developed the participants ability of the shooting action in basketball

Due to a small class there wasn’t a lot of cues which meant there was a good amount of participation in the session

Provides individual and group feedbackAppropriate conditioned game and/or activityAppropriate cool down/conclusion/debrief to session/questioningTime management and pace of delivery

Class control was kept under good control as the class payed attention to when I was explaining and demonstrations drills

The group could have been more motivated as I didn’t include a small game related drill between the drills and this meant the children weren’t as motivated as they could have been

My individual feedback could have been improved as I focused more on the group instead of the individuals completing the drills

Conditioned game was appropriate for the activity as the limited area gave teams better opportunities to take a jump shot

Cool Down could have been improved as kept it short as I needed to talk to the class in the debrief so may have rushed it

Time management could have improved as some drill times were a bit inconsistent


Next time include a motivator drill to keep the class excited and ready to carry on with the rest of the session. Also keep to times written on the sheet and perform a full cool down

My introduction included everything I should have such as aims, objectives, safety and injuries

Warm up was good and included useful stretches which helped warm the muscles that were going to be used during the game and drills.

My positioning was good throughout the session as I could clearly see the whole class and explained drills with everyone sitting down and focused on my explanations

Each drill moved on to a more challenging drill well and the class were able to complete the drills while also challenging themselves

The class size was around 12 people which meant there wasn’t any cues as the drills involved everyone in the group

Class control could have been improved as during explanations people would talk over me or not pay attention. Also sometimes people would shout out when I was speaking

The group were motivated during the 1st drill and this helped them with the rest of the session as they wanted to carry out more drills

My individual feedback was good as everyone in the group was getting their own feedback and this helped them improve their performance and technique

Conditioned game was appropriate for the activity as it emphasised passing and helped people practice passing in a game situation

Cool Down was good and helped slowly relax the muscles that

were used during the session and the Q&A featured the right questions about the session

Time management was good as the sessions warm up, drills and cool down were all kept to the time schedule


The class control could be improved by making people sit out when they aren’t listening and make the explanations clearer when demonstrating the skill
