Basketball project III: first training for trainers, shooting and lay-ups

The idea of these trainings is to share information in multiples ways rather than just give our point of view on teaching basketball. First day, I lead the way talking about shooting, as Javi did the same with lay-ups.

We focus first on elements of the basic skill, then how to help children in their first steps. Later, we talk about which things we have to improve when we want to reach the next level, and we finish each skill with some games or exercises in order to train, correct each other, and also have a good time.

It made me feel happy how funny was playing the game we call in Spain “¿Qué apostamos?” You try to guess how many shoots will your teammate make, and people who miss have to run and make push-ups. So funny.

It was great as well to hear that they were training with these exercises the day after our talk. We think some good coaches will come out from this.
