Offense Tips
|
Coach Mike Kowalski - "My offense phylosophy"
"In few words. Run
breaks anytime you can, run floor, push them hard. Practise fast breaks
every single practise. If you can't score from brake, then set-up
secondary attack. it is usually triangle or pick-and-roll (possiblly
pick-and-pop). If we need long offense (24 seconds), we won't score
from secondary attack. We will play some of plays."
Coach Peter Gunarsson, Boys U18 Head Coach
"Transition,
fast-breaks - fundamental of offensive phylosophy. Teach your players,
especially young players to play transition. Set of plays keep for
senior ages. Make it simple, but effective."

Defense Tips
|
Coach Mike, Boys U16 Head Coach
"We trying to teach
young players only man-to-man defense in this age group. I believe that
any other kind of defense is not good for them. Later, they will learn
zone defense and other combined types. We insist in hard pressure on
player with ball, but at same time pressure on first pass. We teach
them to stop offensive player in one-on-one situations, to not expect
help from help side. They must take responsibility. Boxing out after
every shot is something that they have to learn."

Conditioning Tips
|
Coach Anna Johansson, Girls U14 Head Coach
"For kids in young
ages it is very important to have enough workouts. It is good
preparation for fitness gym one day. We usually doing at every practise
sets of push-ups, sit-ups, abs, sprints (short tracks), a lot of
stretching and relaxing. During summer school break, players have a
break from Basketball practices, but we give them individual plans for
morning exercises and some jogging. We also reccomend bycicle riding
and playing some street basket."

General Tips
|
Coach Mike Kowalski - "My Phylosophy"
"Be dedicated to your
coaching job, you got to show your players that you really care. Be
hard, push them hard, but at same time be ready to listen. Even if you
coach young players, you should listen. You can get many feedbacks if
you try to listen. Feedback can help you to prepare next practise. At
same time your players will respect your ability to listen."
Coach Sarah, Girls U16 Coach
"Thank you for giving us
opportunity to write something about our coaching experience. From my
experience (22 years as a coach), I believe that preparation for every
practise is very important. Do not come at practise if you have no idea
what you should work with your players. Daily, weekly, monthly plans
are required. Without planning you will not produce willing results,
and even worse your players won't be satisfied with their improvements.
Everyday conversations are also very important. Talk about practise,
your expectations, their expectations. Show them that you respect their
opinion, but at same time do not adjust practices according to their
wishes (usually, they will just play 5-on-5). Remember, planning is way
to success. Good luck to everyone in this lovely job"
