How to Use this The practice plans are for you, the coach, to try
and structure a practice using many of the drills

the time you put in working as a team.

If you had the advantage of seeing the first Best of Luck!


book, you will probably know the drill. This
book is designed with drills for basketball play-
ers in mind. We go through the drills and show
you how to do them (with diagrams if neces-
sary), and what the end result might be for your
players.

Once again, we have put together a few extra


drills for your team to use, to improve the level
of play. These drills help to combine a variety of
skills, or they work on specific skills sets that
allow the players to improve.

Many of the drills will try to combine the skills of


each of the areas with elements of the game
that they need to try and improve. For volume 2,
the drills that have been included can be used
and adapted for any skill level. We will provide
you with ideas on how you can make these
drills more complex for some groups and easier
for others depending on age and skill level.

In the following pages are 10 more drills that


you can add to your practice plan collection
helping a variety of positions on the basketball
court. You can incorporate them into the prac-
tice plans you had before, or you can use the
new practice plans at the end of this volume.

Practice plans

Basketball practice is a time to build skills and


get the team going on the same page. Each
player has the opportunity to hone their skills
and sharpen their play during practice times.
Our practice plans help you, the coach, to have
