Another sample practice

Taking a day off from posting today, and I'll leave you with a sample practice from the NEDA program.

On this particular day we were doing a zone atttack progression.


Feb. 27^th – Zone Progressions

7:20 Shooting progression warm-up

7:28 Movement Prep – partners with loaded movement

7:40 CONDITIONING – sideline passing into penetration shooting

7:45 CONDITIONING – 2 on 2 transition defense

7:53 Motion versus Zone Review

Geography lesson

o Perimeter spots (7)

o Post spots (9)

Concept #1 – “Spacing” - Gaps + Seals/Screens = CREATES SEAMS

o Wide at the wing, deep at the point

o Post player – defense inside “screen in”, defense is outside “ seal up”

§ Combine and “screen in” with “ seal out”

7:58 Games Approach 4 on 4 – TYLER WATCH DEFENSIVE REBOUNDING

No cutting or dribbling – transition defense after shot

Score you stay on offense – first team to 4

* score by passing the ball – pass fakes, move in and out and up and down in gaps to create seams. Make a pass and move away from your pass “offset”

* posts – pop and seal

* Perimeter – who is guarding you, who is guarding your teammate

8:05 Concept #2 – “ Cutting”

Fill a spot someone has just left. Cut behind the defense into space vacated by defender

Perimeters – who defends the first pass? Who defends the post? Who defends the skip? Wing to corner and defense bumps – cut away

Post Cuts – Exit Cut – leave post to become a perimeter. Improve passing angle – 2 seconds in and 2 seconds out

Exchange cut – go hi/lo with teammate (diagonal or vertical)

Vertical cut – go hi/lo or lo/hi with your own cut

Horizontal cut – from right to left/left to right

Influence cut – drag a defender out of position – “seal up”

IF/THEN cuts – HIGH POST READ - if bottom defender covers the wing and partner post is low and opposite of ball – dive front rim. Low post run diagonal cut to high post

IF/THEN cuts – LOW POST READ – if bottom defender covers the wing and middle defender cheats up to guard ball side high/mid post – horizontal cut. Opposite wing can dive rim – fill a spot someone has just left

8:15 Games Approach 5 on 5 – TYLER WATCH DEFENSIVE REBOUNDING

Spacing + Cutting and NO PENETRATION, + 2 for 3 sides to score

8:25 SHOOTING

Perimeters - Skips for threes – keep track of makes and takes

Zara, Yinka and Krysten – post to post passing

8:33 Concept #3 – “Dribble”

Dribble pull a defender further out of position. Concept of filling a spot someone has just left. Cut behind the defense into space vacated by defender. Works well with an exit cut – post and perimeter working together.

Dribble push – as perimeter pulls a teammate into space created behind – push another teammate through to fill space on second side of floor.

Freeze dribble – perimeter player pentrate at inside foot of next defender to create shot for next offensive player. Post screens in next defender – post and perimeter working together.

8:40 Games Approach – 4 on 4 – TYLER WATCH DEFENSIVE REBOUNDING

+3 for anything scored off the concept of penetrate/rotate/pass/pass

SLOW DOWN

8:50 Scrimmage – TYLER versus MIKE

9:00 Cool Down

· 4 minute free throws
