The plan keeps a coach organized and on-task during practice, but, more importantly, the planning aspect forces the coach to think and critically examine his team, its weaknesses and the best way to appropriate time. One-and-a-half hours seems like a lot of time until one sits with a piece of paper and tries to decide how to squeeze warm-ups, scrimmaging, teaching, drills and basic skills into the allotted practice time.\nThe following is an example of a practice plan for youth basketball team in the middle of its season. Practices change daily and needs of teams vary, but it is a generic example illustrating different uses of time, approaches and emphasis.\n10 Minutes\t Dynamic Warm-up\nDo each exercise to the opposite baseline/return to the starting point.\n¼ speed jog/backpedal\nSkip/backward skip\nHeel-toe walk/knee hug\n½ speed/back pedal\nPelican walk/walking quad stretch\nWalking lunge/walking lunge\n¾ speed/backpedal\nStationary full squat x 6\nCarioca/carioca\nCrossover step/crossover step\nShuffle/shuffle\nSprint/backpedal\n20 Minutes\t Stations\nEach station lasts forty-five seconds. Sprint between stations.\nSpeed Ladder (one-foot in, Icky Shuffle, backwards icky shuffle)\nMikan Drill\nPush-ups\nTennis Ball Drop w/assistant coach\nX-Lay-ups\nBridge\nT-Drill\nJump Rope\nBlock 2 Block Shots (1 rebounder and 1 shooter)\nSpoke Drill\nStationary 2-ball dribbling\nEveryone shoots 2 Free Throws, records scores and gets water. If team shoots under 70%, run a suicide.\n10 Minutes\t Fab Five Finishes\nUse different open court moves (crossover, fake crossover, hesitation, through-the-legs, crossover-crossover, etc.) to attack the basket and finish using different shots at the basket (lay-up, crossover lay-up, reverse lay-up, power lay-up, floater, etc.). Work five minutes on each side of the floor.\n10 Minutes \tPartner Shooting Progression\nSend three players to each basket with two balls. Do different shooting drills as competition between baskets. For drills involving all three players, first group to ten makes wins; for drills involving an individual shooter, first shooter to five makes wins. Shoot game shots from game spots at game speed.\n10 Minutes \tTransition Drill\nLine a team of four on the baseline and another team of four on the free throw line extended, across from a player on the baseline. The four on the baseline are the offensive team and the four on top are the defense. Toss the ball to an offensive player and his corresponding defensive player must sprint to the baseline. Meanwhile, the four offensive players and other three defenders sprint in a four vs. three transition situation.\n10 Minutes\t3v3 Half Court Games\nPlay games to 3 baskets; winner stays. Determine a winner’s basket and play “King of the Hill” format. Emphasize off the ball movement: players must score directly off a basket cut or by using a screen.\n5 Minutes\tFree Throws\n10 Minutes \t3v3 Full Court Cut Throat\nTeam stays on the floor until scored against. One team waiting under each basket; new team enters on offense. Defense picks up full court. First team to seven baskets wins.\n5 Minutes\tReview, announcements, group cheer\nThis is a simple plan to actively involve players and train different skills in the half and full court. The following days practice may contain more 5v5 play based on the 3v3 emphasis of this practice. Be creative, but do not overwhelm players with number of drills or too much instruction. Kids need to play to understand. This plan trains numerous athletic, technical and tactical skills, preparing players for an up coming game, but also for future development.","cbCaivMF6U90XOHB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivMF6U90XOHB","doc",36352,"English","# Practice Planning Overview\n## Warm-up & Stations\n## Finishes, Shooting, and Partner Progression\n## Transition & Court Games\n## Free Throws, Review, and Announcements","[{\"question\":\"How long should each warm-up and station segment last?\",\"answer\":\"The plan uses a 10-minute dynamic warm-up, followed by 20-minute stations where each station lasts forty-five seconds.
