Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn Lesson 1, players warm up with light jogging and dynamic stretches to prepare their bodies for training. They then practice fundamental skills, starting with basic dribbling techniques, followed by chest and bounce passes to improve control and accuracy. Shooting practice focuses on close-range shots, emphasizing proper form and follow-through. The session ends with a cool-down, including light stretches and a recap of the key skills covered during the lesson.
Lesson 11+In future lessons, players advance their skills with complex dribbling, advanced shooting techniques, and team strategies like pick-and-rolls and defensive rotations. Sessions focus on game-like scenarios, decision-making under pressure, and improving speed, agility, and endurance. The goal is to develop well-rounded players with strong fundamentals, strategic awareness, and confidence.
Lesson 4-10In Lessons 4-10, players build on foundational skills while introducing advanced techniques and game scenarios. Early lessons focus on refining dribbling, shooting, and defensive skills, including crossovers, pivots, and lateral movement. Midway, players practice offensive moves like fakes, off-the-dribble shooting, and rebounding techniques. Later lessons emphasize combining skills in fast breaks, defensive rotations, and shooting under pressure. Lesson 10 ties everything together with situational drills and scrimmages, ending with a review of progress and goal setting. Each session begins with a warm-up, ends with a cool-down, and consistently reinforces confidence, technique, and strategic understanding.
Lesson 2-3In Lessons 2 and 3, players continue building their skills with warm-ups that include jogging, dynamic stretches, and dribbling drills. Lesson 2 focuses on improving ball control with advanced dribbling techniques, such as figure-eights and cone weaving, while shooting practice progresses to mid-range shots, layups, and transitions between dribbling and shooting. Lesson 3 introduces defensive fundamentals, including proper stance, defensive slides, and closeout techniques. Shooting practice expands to include bank shots, pull-up jumpers, and free throws, emphasizing accuracy and variety. Both sessions conclude with a cool-down and a review of progress to reinforce learning and prepare for future training.

Lesson 11+Future lessons for advanced players will focus on perfecting skills, enhancing game IQ, and preparing for high-pressure situations. Training will include advanced offensive and defensive strategies, such as reading defenses, breaking zones, and executing complex plays. Players will refine their timing, court vision, and leadership in team settings. High-intensity drills will simulate game conditions to improve endurance, quick decision-making, and clutch performance. Each session will continue to build on previous lessons, with tailored feedback to ensure steady growth and readiness for competitive play.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4-10 for advanced players emphasize mastering complex techniques and applying them in game-like scenarios. Sessions focus on elite ball-handling moves, advanced shooting techniques like fadeaways and step-backs, and defensive strategies, including traps and zone defense. Players work on team concepts such as pick-and-roll variations, offensive spacing, and defensive communication. Transition drills, fast-break execution, and rebounding under pressure are prioritized. Each lesson includes situational scrimmages to refine decision-making and strategy, with regular feedback to track progress and address areas for improvement.
Lesson 2-3Lessons 2 and 3 for advanced players focus on building game-specific skills and decision-making. Players work on advanced dribbling combinations, shooting under pressure, and defensive rotations. Offensive drills emphasize creating scoring opportunities with pick-and-rolls, fakes, and quick transitions. Defensive practice includes help defense, switching, and rebounding positioning. Both sessions incorporate situational scrimmages to apply these skills in realistic scenarios, ending with a review of progress and targeted feedback.
