15U Girls Spring / Summer Player Development Program, (2024)

CA$200.00

Player Development Program;

This program will work to create more situations where decision-making is required from the girls in 2 v 2 / 3 v 3, 4 v 4 situations. The primary competitive play format will be 3 v 3 and 4 v 4, but we will also introduce 5 v 5 play. When playing 5 v 5, we will use game principles from the 1 v 1, 2 v 2, and 3 v 3 concepts, and teaching will be done.

Program Objectives:

Personal Values: We will introduce the personal values of commitment, teamwork, empathy, respect, communication, patience, and dedication.
Phases of the Game Teaching:
1. Transition Offense: exploiting basic numerical advantages (2 v 1, 3 v 2, 4 v 3, 5 v 4. Spacing in transition
2. Offense: Ball circulation: passing and cutting, double and single gap space rules of attack (pass through single gaps and attack double gaps with the dribble). Encouraging ball reversal. Creating and using basic numerical advantages (3 v 2, 2 v 1). Shot selection (distinguishing between a good vs. a bad shot).
3. Transition Defense: Slowing the advance of the ball, restricting space for the ball to advance up the court, protecting the rim early, and communicating. Defending numerical advantages.
4. Defense: Helping and rotations, closing off on the ball, defending penetration, protecting the basket, starting to understand and take charges, and defensive rebounding.

The program will run from March 30 through June 8, 2024 (21 on-court sessions). The group may participate in several basketball tournaments outside the Yukon, including the Victoria Weekend Basketball tournament in Calgary, Alberta.
