Basketball Training Program | Practice Organization by Mark Chapman

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Basketball Training Program | Practice Organization by Mark Chapman

Practice Organization
These notes are from my files but doesn’t have a coach listed. I hope you are able to use some of the information below:

The most important aspect to whether you reach your potential is our practice. You can only be as good as your practice effort every day. You should never have a practice that is easier than a game.
You must have the right combination of learning from the drills through game situations. You should feel that you’ve been given the best preparation possible which will give you an edge over your opponent.

Intense
Genuine effort
Build for improvement
Pushed physically & mentally
