Learning targets
Everything a player can learn here. One thing per learning target: something a player can learn, a coach can teach and someone can see.
Game Seeing and choosing: space, time, advantage
Create, see and punish an advantage
Making a numbers edge or a step on your defender, recognising it and using it at once.Drive first
Going to the basket and making space for a good shot is not selfish. Passing straight away without a reason or a goal is.Drive reactions
When a teammate drives, you move to a spot where they can find you: corner, behind the drive, to the rim.The second cut
In pass-and-cut the first cut rarely works. The cut from two or more passes away is the dangerous one.Good shot
A good shot is in balance, within range, uncontested, after a good pass or a drive with a small advantage.Lanes and corners in transition
After winning the ball, sprint forward wide, fill the corners and get the ball up fast.Help and recover
Stopping a drive as the helper and getting back to your own player before the pass arrives.Foresee the advantage, don't gamble
Defending against the advantage: not giving it, seeing it coming and recovering when it's there. Only go for the ball when the team is safe behind you.
