Basketball Offensive Development Camp (6th-9th Grade Coed) - Fitchburg, WI 2025

Description This 4 week program is designed to improve a player’s ability to shoot, create space, relieve pressure, finish near the basket, use screens and make decisions/reads. Each one hour session will focus on improving these skills and applying them to competitive small sided games – 2V2 and 3v3. Constraints applied to these games will expedite the application of the skills focused on for that week. There will not be 5 on 5 games. Games will be smaller and faster to allow more opportunities and repetitions for each player. The modern game requires all 5 players on the court to be able to shoot the ball and score, allowing for appropriate spacing and pressure on the defense. These skills will be transferable to games regardless of the team or system you play in. Session 1 – Attacking and Relieving Pressure off the Dribble: Develop ball handling, attacks and counters to get past your defender and to the basket. Create space with various drags, escapes and step backs. Relieve pressure for passing and driving lanes with retreats, hip swivels and scissors. Session 2 – Finishing: Learn when and how to finish off 2 feet and finish off 1 foot. Become confident in creating contact when you have the ball to improve your finishing. Session 3 – Shooting: Develop shooting off the bounce and off the catch with great footwork and foundational shooting mechanics. Great shooters are made, not born. Session 4 – Use Screens and Cuts to Score: Effective offense is about pace and space. Learn how to create space and use space for scoring solutions. Learning how to read and anticipate defenses.
