Wolf Pack Basketball
16U Girls Player Development Program · Ages 14-16 · Fall 2026
Learn to Compete

Objectives
To develop committed, competitive players in a positive, player-centred environment, performing at higher speed and quality while taking ownership of their own development.

Program focus
Players deepen their skills and basketball IQ, drive their growth through self-led training and personal targets, and begin specializing into positions. They compete with a winning spirit in a supportive team environment. Person before player.

Personal Values
Commitment, Teamwork, Empathy, Respect, Communication, Generosity, Adaptability, Dedication, Patience, Responsibility, Assertiveness, and Resilience.

Phase of Play Teaching

1. Offence: master 2v2 concepts (back door, hand-off, on-ball and off-ball screens), ball circulation with purpose, drive-and-kick with the extra pass, and reading closed structures (Zipper, Pin Downs, Flares).

2. Defence: defensive lines (one and two passes away), containing the ball, defending cutters and screens, and trapping and scrambling.

3. Team play: three and four-player rotations, handling switches and mismatches, with constant communication.

4. Roles and awareness: shot selection, shot, game-clock, and foul-count awareness, and beginning to specialize into positions.

Methods
Small-sided games (2v2 and 3v3) to generate and read advantages, with open offensive and defensive structures over set plays, and basic zone and press introduced. In 5v5, the emphasis is on spacing, timing, and connecting the four moments of the game. Players add position-specific work, individual workouts with individualized targets, and video analysis.
