4. How are you monitoring progress?

Two ways:

  1. Micro-Skill Work/3v3 Movement Section
    • Coaches will guide players on the types of movements to implement during team play

   

    2. Halftime and End of Games

    • Coaches give teams evaluations allowing them to “address and adjust” in real time.
    • This strategy mimics the collegiate and professional levels.
    • Creates an awareness to compete on every play and use what works for your team and eliminate what doesn’t.

 

5.  How are playing minutes compared to 5-on-5 play?

6. So what does this mean for my player’s development?
  • In our 3v3, players will play two games in one night!
  • Average player now plays up to 24 minutes per night!
  • This is DOUBLE the playing time of a traditional 5v5 format.
  • THIS is the true learning environment needed for players to develop sound basketball fundamentals

7.  Is there a shot clock?
  • Yes…we will have a 24 second shot clock (the same as what is instituted in the NBA). 
  • Enhances the level of offensive play, as each possession has a countdown. 
  • Creates purposeful movements on offense, promoting a shot attempt.   

8.  How much does this cost? Is there a cost breakdown?
  • $190.00 per player 
  • A season (12 hours) yields 2.5-hours of skill/team concept work and 16 Micro-Skill games
  • This is $15 per hour…a well planned and thought out investment!!
