Coaching Tips
- Be ready for practice with a practice plan that builds from the previous learnings or from game situations that need improvement and with specific goals in mind
- Use the IDEA approach for skills instruction: Introduce the skill, Demonstrate, Explain and Attend to players -- if you can't demonstate then ask a skilled player to do it
- Create drills that are progressions which build upon each other. For example with groundballs, start with individual drop and scoop, then roll and scoop to facing partner, then line drills with groundballs "to/away", then 1v1 drills, 2v1 drills and 3v2 drills
