Coaches and players around the country are finishing up their first few sessions of fall basketball practice this week. Its an exciting time of year as the weather turns cool and gyms are filled with players and coaches with high expectations for 2009-2010. Each coach has a new "canvas", hoping to create a masterpiece on the court as they bring different talents, personalities, skills and ideas together. When it all comes together, watching a team work as a unit and flow with precision is a beatiful thing!
For us, the challenge of working out 19 players (11 returning and 8 newcomers) has been a unique experience. So besides the typical fundamental teaching on offense and defense, we have started with drills that feed the competitive nature of our team. Our strategy has been to teach the concept, drill it, then compete and see who can execute the best. The goal is for our team to recognize that technique, effort, and skill are all important to becoming a successful basketball team. Our staff has been pleased with the effort so far. After 7 straight practices, WEEK 2 starts tomorrow as we continue to build a championship caliber team!
