Conditioning tip

All intense conditioning activities.

Instructions

Be sure that when you have intense work bouts that you always use a work to rest ratio of 4. 1 on 3 off or more. The phosphogen and lactic acid systyems are the systems the body uses for all work bouts that last up to 60 seconds (work bouts in basketball). Therefore when the systems are used ATP is broken down to ADP for each bout. The system needs time to rebuild ATP. This rebuilding takes a minimum 3X’s the the amount of time the actual bout was performed. When this process is broken down or the phosphocreatine is depleted and rebuilt over and over again you are increasing the Capacity and Power of the phosphogen system.
( Bigger, Faster, Stronger!!) So when you do your intense workouts be sure the kids are always in a minimum of 4 per group. 1 on 3 off.

Tips

Use this ratio for all station work, sprints etc.

Basketball categories

Ballhandling 160Probably the most basic of basketball skills, but sometimes the most neglected. These drills will show you how to develop ballhandling skills. Remember that weak hand!
Big man 36Perhaps more than any other position on the team, the big man needs drills to perfect inside and post-up moves.
Combination 74Drills that combine other skills, and puts emphasis on technique and fundamentals.
Conditioning 159Basketball requires all around conditioning; stamina, strength, speed, jumping ability and more. These drills show you how to improve in all those areas.
Defense 112Offense wins games, defense wins championships. Playing defense is a skill like everything else. It requires skill, understanding of the game, and dedication.
Offense 79If you want to develop a sound offensive game, this category is for you. These are drills for the individual player and for the team.
Passing 74Another fundamental skill that is often overlooked. These drills will teach you everything from individual passing drills, to team passing drills.
Rebounding 77Like defense, rebounding takes dedication. But rebounding is easier if you understand the basics of boxing out, timing, and the importance of defensive positioning.
Shooting 260More than any other skill, shooting takes practice. Lot's of practice. Fundamentals include form, timing, and mental training.
Skills 32Drills that teach other aspects of the game are collected here.
Transition 47The transition from defense to offense can be a very effective weapon. Teams that know how to run the floor and establish a set offense quickly, have a powerful weapon for scoring easy points.
Warmup 24These drills cover everything from individual to team warmup drills, both for game and practice situations.
Wheelchair 10I'd like to have a lot more drills for wheelchair basketball, so please help me add more drills to this category!
Youth 23For those just starting out playing basketball, the game should be all about having fun. These drills will show you how to make sure the kids enjoy themselves while they learn the basics of basketball.
