Feeding The Post To Start Practice

After you have determine an offensive style or system for your team, player development is the most important aspect to your teams success in my opinion.  How you play at the end of the season is a direct reflection to the emphasis that you put on each individual's skill development and growth.

I am always looking for ways to steal a couple of minutes a day of practice time in which we can teach and drill certain parts of the game, and one way of doing that is the drill below that teaches and emphasized post feeds.

I feel that ball penetration, whether through the dribble or the pass, is the most important part of  your offensive attack.  Aside from the fact that your shooting percentage goes up as you get closer to the basket, getting penetration breaks down the defense, creating open 3's or long closeouts.

In the drill below, you can create many opportunities for your team to practice post feeds, to practice footwork in the post, and to practice reads and passess out of the post.

My ideal get-a-way from this video would be to use this drill everyday for the first 3 minutes of practice, and for 1 or 2 minutes in our pre-game warm-ups.
