Defensive Training Camp (4th-9th)

“Those to whom defense is not important will have the best seat in the game – Rick Majerus.”

Great defenders communicate, exert great effort, anticipate the action, sprint to help, understand player tendencies, stay disciplined & finish the play. Defense demands IQ, discipline & multiple efforts. Eliminate the phrase “defensive liability” when your coach thinks of your role in their rotations. Camp will focus on educating players on guarding the basketball, proper help-side positions based on 1-pass & 2-pass away scenarios, moving as soon as the ball/player moves, being elastic in your mini-triangle, closing out based on personnel, winning the foot battle to blow up screening actions & finishing the possession with a block-out. Players that show up with great attitudes & EFFORT will increase their defensive IQ.  * Players will be grouped by age and ability.
