Diary of a Girls Basketball Trainer Entry 1: No Training
Hello Friends of the Internet Capital of Girls Basketball.
I’ve decided to start writing about my experiences as a girls basketball trainer. Hopefully through my writings, you will learn more about me, my love of basketball, new basketball drills, basketball tips and more.
Today I really don’t have much to write about. I’m actually a little disappointed. I did not get to train or host my mini-camp last Saturday because their was an activity at the facility I train at. Then this Monday, I received a phone call that I will not get to train this upcoming Saturday because their is another activity.
So instead of having the players go through 2 weeks of no activity, I decided to create a workout for them to do on their own.
Here’s the workout:
Ball Handling:
Wrap ball around waist 20x
Change directions and wrap another 20x
Wrap Ball around head 20x
Change directions and wrap another 20x
Wrap Ball around knees 20x
Change direction and wrap another 20x
Dribbling
Left hand dribbling at knee level 25x
Break – count to 10
Right hand dribbling at knee level 25x
Break – count to 10
Left hand dribbling at waist level 25x
Break – count to 10
Right hand dribbling at waistlevel 25x
Break – count to 10
Left hand dribbling at shoulder level 25x
Break – count to 10
Right hand dribbling at shoulder level 25x
Break – count to 10
Shooting (popo25):
Start inside the paint and with a bank shot. If you make the shot, take a step back. If not, attempt to make another shot in the same spot. Work your way out and around the basket until you make 25 shots.
Free throws:
Make 10
Layups:
Work on the techniques of left and right hand layups.
Use left hand on left side and Right hand on right side.
Also, I recently added a Pre-Season Workout to the GirlsBasketballResources.com site. The emphasis is on conditioning through ball handling, defense and shooting drills. Get more information here.
