first play

Learning new plays are tough, especially at our level when we are being introduced to our first structured offense. I want you guys to understand that it is a process, and we will learn the plays. This offense is a continuity offense and one means one may be at every position. This is especially true with our low numbers. We need to know how to play every position. I want you guys to understand this as you begin to evolve into basketball players.
With that said the plays arent everything. Our offense is a body of work. The play is just the bones of the body; not the whole body. I often see players just running from spot to spot. I want you to play the game of basketball. If you get the basketball and have an opportunity to get to the basket or have a an open shot, I want you to take that opportunity at all times. I will never be mad at a player for shooting the ball. If we make a pass, take a bad shot or any mistake in general its ok. What we have to do is focus on getting the ball back on the next defensive possession. It's important that move forward and change the next play instead of dwelling on what just happened and cant be changed.

With that says here is the first part of the bones of our offense. Please click on the link you should all know where to go from there. www.coachesclipboard.net

Put a response on this blog to let me know you were here and looked at the play. Remember where to go once you're on the site. If you have trouble logging on talk to Mr. Giroux he is very knowledgable on how you can make a post. Also previous players like Zack Ossit, Kyle Palladino or Kyle Chrismer may be able to help. Any teacher may be able to help.
