FOCUSES

From our game breakdowns, state why each clip was applied to the given focus

On shots, get low and hit your man away from the hoop
Minus the "get back", all players should crash
Be sure to talk loudly the majority of the game
On the shot, one offensive player needs to sprint beyond halfcourt
Minimize risks and allow the best to dribble
Utilize our 0-50-100 rule; with 5 exceptions

Occupy the lanes to help on drives and on-balls
Apply and handle pressure to the best of your ability
Sprint on inside and wing cuts to keep the defense honest
Whether in or out the game, be excited and energetic
Outside of sprinting and jumping, each player should remain low and strong
Without fouling, ensure the other team only takes contested shots

Pre-Workout

Optional Conditioning, with music. 30 minutes prior to every skill workout.

Pre-Practice
