This 4-week program is designed to help athletes develop their game-play understanding, with a focus on offensive and defensive concepts. Participants will learn how to effectively use actions such as dribble hand-offs, on-ball screens, and off-ball screens to improve decision-making, teamwork, and overall basketball IQ.

Throughout the program, athletes will explore how to read game situations, create scoring opportunities, and make effective decisions both with and without the ball. Sessions will focus on spacing, movement, communication, and defensive principles, helping players better understand their role within a team environment.

By combining skill development with game-based learning, participants will gain the confidence and knowledge needed to make a greater impact on the court and transfer their learning into competitive game situations.
