Hey guys, I have a first training session coming up for a new team in a couple of weeks.

What sort of drills do you recommend to evaluate the basic skills of your players? Specifically ball handling, shooting, on ball defence and rebounding.

Thanks guys much appreciated!

I am posting because before this season I had never heard of it and it is getting all teams at the high school I coach at open. The best part so far has been the amount of layup attempts we have gotten and how we have been able to compete without having many skilled shooters in the program.

So if you are A high school coach that needs a system because your team can not compete with the talent around you, or if you are a traveling coach looking for something that is not dependent on outside shooting, I highly suggest taking a look at the Spread Offense.

Also I highly encourage others to make a post if they have an offense or something that they have found success with!

If anyone wants a more in depth write-up I would be more than happy to do one when I have time. let me know.

If someone shoots <10% from the 3, and not that much higher outside of the paint, would you still have your middle school players closely guarding them?
I’m much more concerned about players scoring layups in the paint against us, so I’ve been teaching my team to slack off when playing man-to-man to protect against the drive. Is this poor coaching?

For clarification, I coach in NYC where there are great dribblers and drivers, but poor shooting across the board.

As of last Monday, I am officially the student manager for the Kentucky State University basketball team. Another resume addition and a good step towards becoming a college coach. Just really excited and figured I’d let you guys know!

We have basketballs and jerseys, which seem to be the obvious things a team would need. As an inexperienced coach I could use some help in allocating this money efficiently to the team. All suggestions are appreciated!

Hi guys!

As a former competitive athlete, we’ve created Logit.AI, which is essentially an integrated desktop and IOS app for athletes and their coaches that uses athlete input about physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing to predict and alert both athlete and coach with injury and burnout risks. Therefore, athletes at all levels are able to accurately monitor physical performance and training, without any expensive equipment.

We would appreciate any advice on how to improve our app and ways you could see a potential client (such as yourself) using it. https://www.logit.ai/free-beta-sign-up/
