*Coaches are in charge of flow of game & can enter court to teach or demonstrate.
|
|
*Before scrimmage games begin, there will be approx 10 mins of team vs. team fun relays (dribbling, shooting, etc)
|
|
*please end 3-5 minutes before end of the hour so your team can exit & next team can enter & warm-up.

|
Approx. Hour Timeline for Saturday scrimmage games in Jan - Mar:
|
|
1st 5 minutes = Players warm up as a team
|
|
Next 10-15 minutes = Team vs. Team FUN challenge competitions / relays….see examples below.
|
|
Last 40 minutes = Team vs. Team full court game
|
|
*All scrimmage games will be 5 vs 5.
|
|
*All 5 defensive players will stand on the marked 1-5 #s in your team bag in the lane while on defense.
|
|
*The #s reduce defensive pressure & allow teams more passes & better shots (more made baskets overall).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4)
|
The 2 Head coaches will decide which fun competitions / relays to do each Saturday after team warm ups.
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
|
“Dribbling full length of court & back” competition
|
|
“Dribbling full length of court, lay up / jump shot & dribble back” competition
|
|
“Chest & Bounce pass” 1 long line team vs. team competition
|
|
“Lay-up”, "Free throw" & Jump shot competitions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5)
|
NO Free throws for 1st 4 weeks of games, as it takes too long to set players up.
|
|
*If a 6/7 player is fouling, coaches can take time to explain & the ball is taken out at side court.
|
|
*In weeks 5-8, coaches can choose to set up & shoot free throws if they feel teams are ready.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6)
|
EQUAL playing time for ALL players! Every player must be substituted fairly.
|
|
*Main goals for this young 6/7 age is player development, confidence & learning the FUN-damentals!
|
|
*Rotate players at point guard during game so all get a chance to dribble the ball up the court
