Basketball Plan

1. Over the course of the course of the 2012-2013 basketball season my goal as coach “is

to teach the importance of team work as well as focusing on the basic basketball

fundamentals.”

2. Our practices will be instrumental in preparing the student athletes for real game

situations. During this valuable time it will be necessary for each student athlete to focus and come prepared to practice so that we can work on all basketball related drills and

game situations.

3. Over the course of the season the team will learn 7-8 plays. The first practice will allow

me to gauge each and everyone’s skill sets. Moving forward from that practice we will

begin adding one play per practice that we will utilize during the game situations.

4. We will primarily implement a Run & Gun/motion style offense which will have everyone

running up and down the court at a high tempo so conditioning will be important for each

student athlete. “I will not run the kids to a point of exhaustion however each

student athlete will work hard and will become better conditioned.”

5. Everyone will play in every game unless a parent states that an individual is sick and

unable to perform or if a parent just doesn’t want the student athlete to participate.

6. If you don’t attend practice you will still play however it’s paramount that each student

athlete attends practice.

7. This will be a great season and there will be no pressure to win games, we will win some

and lose some. I’m more interested in witnessing the student athletes coming to

together collectively to score baskets and work as team on both ends of the court.

8. Everyone will get a chance to start at least one (1) game.
