My Personal Reflection
Over the last semester I have been coached and taught many different strategies and tactics relating to basketball. Through this extensive course I personally feel that I have developed some of my skills such as general offensive and playmaking. In terms of offense I have learnt many key things like creating space and understanding what to do in different situations. I feel that my sight on the court has improved and being able to see plays happen. Playing against people who are older than me has helped me to be stronger and more confident with the ball.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Some of strengths that have improved would be my passing ability and sight on the court.
Some of my weaknesses that I need to improve would be my dribbling skills and my shooting consistency. Also, I could improve more on my movement and spacing.
Defensive Strategies
Throughout this course we have been learning about the shell drill which is a way to intercept the ball and force players to the baseline while also getting help. Essentially it worked by everyone being in a different position depending on who had the ball and moving closer to that player with the ball to help in defense. You basically rotated on each position so that you could see the ball and your player. This was an interesting strategy that we learnt.
Offensive Strategies
We started to learn how to do on-ball screens and rolls. We would do drills involving two defenders and two attackers were we practised on-ball screens and where each person should move to. Everyone one in this drill had a role, e.g the person with the ball had to push through the screener’s shoulder to make this strategy effective.
