Spring Basketball Workout #2

In Practice Plans by Brock Bourgase

Emphasis: upper body strength, footwork, finish at the rim, recovery & regeneration

Summary: After a false start last week, the players organized a second workout today. We began the session with some footwork exercises and went into the weight room to do some sport-specific upper body exercises. Afterwards, we tried to get to the basket & finish at the rim. The defense endeavoured to pressure the ball & close out shooters.

Reflection: Two more players would have been better to keep things moving but the Rate of Perceived Exertion was accurate. Players seemed to enjoy the workout although some reminders were necessary to transfer the points of emphasis from the drills to the competitive deliberate play activities.
