Develop the skills you need to be a stronger offensive and defensive player
In this course, Great Britain and Newcastle Eagles Basketball coach, Ian MacLeod will take you step by step through the key components of basketball.

The course will begin by introducing the basic dribbling, passing and shooting skills that underpin basketball, before learning to apply these skills to develop a strong offence as an individual and as a team..
We'll also look at the defensive stance and how to guard against offensive players, using individual skills to 'deny' key players from receiving the ball or moving into the key, and working as a team pressure the offence into taking on difficult shots.
We've added in some of Ian's lesson plans for you to learn some of the drills and progressions he uses to teach some of the skills throughout the course, and we'll provide you with some teaching resources to support your players and students to improve their understanding.
By the end of the course, you should understand teach basketball to players at any stage of their development.
