Coach a Basketball Training Session

This article will tell you how to coach a basketball training session effectively.

Steps

During games, analyse what skills your team needs to improve on.
Plan your training beforehand. Spend more time on skills your team needs to improve on.
It is a good idea to run a warm up session at the beginning of training. This reduces the chance of injuries.
Have the players do a warmup drill.
Have the players do a shooting drill.
Have the players do a ball-handling drill (if applicable)
Have the players do rebounding, passing,defense,etc drills (if applicable)
Have your players play a full court match against each other. This will show you who are strong players and what skills the team need to work on. You can also use the match to work on skills you did that day, for example, if you worked on passing that day, you can ask your players to pay extra attention to passing.
Have your players do laps to see who on your team is in shape. In shape players are the ones that you want on the court.

If you feel that a drill was not done properly, instruct your players to do it again.
You should become a qualified basketball coach before you are put in charge of a training session. You must complete a course which may cost you some money. Consult your local basketball association or club for more information.
Do not tolerate bad behaviour. There is a guide on 'How to discipline players when coaching' if you need it.
Bring any equipment needed for the training session. A coach should be responsible for supplying equipment such as basketballs. Your club may supply them, but the coach must ensure equipment is brought to training.
Planning is the key to success!

Injuries do happen! It is a good idea to obtain a first aid certificate as this will teach you what to do if a player is injured.
Make sure a first aid kit is available at the training venue. If they are not available, bring one yourself or arrange for someone else to do so.
Ensure that your players take drink breaks regularly. Dehydration can have serious consequences.
