Individual Skill Work

Coach Senderoff begins his practice with some individual skill work. You will see his assistants working with the guards and forwards on building their skills through breakdown drills of their offense. Learn their "Away B," "Ricky," "Double," and "Middle" actions. This is just a warmup for their players.

Competitive Drills

Next, Coach Senderoff cranks up his practice by getting into 1v1 competitive drills. It begins out with some basic 1v1 from the wing, but quickly morphs into a hyper-competitive segment that involves rebounding into full court 1v1. This will be a must-add series for any coach looking to enhance their defense!  

After finishing the 1v1 series, Coach Senderoff goes into some transition drills that emphasize advantage/disadvantage situations.  The full court sessions progress from 2v2 to 3v3 to 4v4 eventually ending in 5v5 action. The continuous action will not only make your team play faster and communicate, but it will get them into tremendous shape.

Once Coach Senderoff has his team rolling, he transitions into the half court. The emphasis is on his offense. During this time, Senderoff will highlight the actions his team is focusing on.  One of the best parts of this segment is seeing how the breakdown drills done at the beginning of practice are incorporated into the "Away B" and "Away C" segments in 5v5.

5v5 Full Court

Press Offense
