Basketball Shooting Drills For Girls
How to prepare for Varsity level basketball tryouts?
I haven’t really been working on bball drills and shooting/dribbling/defense but i’ve been working out to be stronger. I’m a girl! I have about 2 months and 2 weeks till tryouts come around, which is on November 13th. I played freshmen level my freshmen year, JV level for both sophomore and Junior year. I think i’m a decent player with good ball handling, shooting, and not much of defense but i’ll work on it. Since i’m so unconditioned what should I do to prepare for bball tryouts?
Work on your conditioning and play good defense! Good defensive players can make a team even if you don’t have offensive skills as good as other girls. Stay low when you guard a player with the ball, and ALWAYS see both the ball and the player you are guarding (when they don’t have the ball). On offense, work on left handed (or right handed if you are natural lefty) stuff like layups and dribbling. Another thing that will help you are ball fakes. As a rule of thumb for practices, my girls must have at least one ball fake before they make a pass. It moves the defense and greatly minimizes your chances of getting the ball stolen. Play smart in tryouts and don’t turn the ball over. These are all things you can improve over the next few months (unlike shooting which takes thousands of shots to get better). Work hard and have a good attitude!!! Hope you make varsity and enjoy your senior year!!! (And go watch the movies Rudy and Hoosiers…they will pump you up)!

Coaching Basketball Technical and Tactical Skills $24.95 Numerous coaching books cover the skills and drills of basketball, but very few hit on the tactical skills of the game—the situational decisions players and coaches make that often determine the outcome of games. That's where Coaching Basketball Technical and Tactical Skills, an American Sport Education Program (ASEP) publication, stands out. Written by Kathy McGee, the winningest high school girls' basketball coach in Michigan, in consultation with USA Basketball's Don Showalter, this book will prepare you to be a better teacher and tactician of the game whether you coach men’s or women’s basketball. Technical skills (such as dribbling, shooting, and rebounding) are examined in depth, as are the tactical skills (such as the give-and-go, backdoor cut, and trapping). More than 195 photos and illustrations bring the basic to intermediate skills to life, while sample season and practice plans will help you in your preparation. You'll find quick tips on how to detect and correct errors in both male and female athletes, cues they need to be aware of in various tactical situations, and key information they need in order to make the appropriate on-court decisions. Produced by ASEP and endorsed by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), this book serves as a resource for the Coaching Basketball Technical and Tactical Skills online course, a part of ASEP's Bronze Level Professional Coaches Education Program. Numerous state high school associations, colleges and universities, national sport organizations, and national governing bodies of Olympic sports use the Bronze Level in whole or in part to qualify coaches. The Bronze Level prepares coaches for all aspects of coaching and is a recognized and respected credential for all who earn it. |
