Opening Day

Many returnees attended as well as enthusiastic newcomers as the Sunday "Open Court" at the Common began. Our emphasis is simple, to develop individual skills within a core framework of skill, conditioning, and team spirit.

We always begin with basketball dribbling skills from the five 'offensive skills':

• Passing
• Dribbling
• Shooting
• Rebounding
• Pivoting

As always, the girls worked on control, crossovers, and hesitation dribbling, as well as half and full court layups, and passing and receiving on the move. We reviewed some options off the pick and roll. 

We finished the reintroduction with perimeter moves:

• Face up moves from the wing
• Face up and pull up jumper
• Baseline power move to the hoop (swim move into power dribble and jump stop)

We have a long way to go with a talented, athletic group of young athletes. We expect most sessions will run Sundays from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M.
