THE LADY TIGER WAY #5

First workout of the season yesterday and our staff was really pleased with the effort and, more importantly, the concentration level. Our philosophy is to jump in and roll with it. We spend very little time in the first week explaining a lot of things. We will talk them through some teaching points but we want our returning players to do a lot of communicating with the new players as to what we are doing and more specifically, how we want it done. We had four different groups and the one common denominator was fundamentals -- got to start with the base. Here is a look of what we did with a particular group of perimeter players.

1:30-1:39 BALL HANDLING & DRIBBLING
2 Ball Stationary Dribbling (Hightower Lead)
2/0 2 Ball Passing (Tennis/Hvy Trainer)
Alford Drill (2 Balls)

1:39-1:43 CUTTING
2/0 V-Cuts (Both Sides)
Back Cuts: "Don't cut till the ball sees you"

1:43-1:47 SCREENING
1/0 ES to DS (Sprint to Screen --- Angles)

1:47-2:00 CUTTING
2/1 Cuts Off DS (No Shot) - call out cut

2:00-2:30 SHOOTING
