Running an Effective Youth Practice

Use this 60–75 minute structure:

  • Warm‑up (10): Dynamic movement + ball‑handling.
  • Stations (25): Shooting, passing, defense (8 minutes each).
  • Situations (15): 3‑on‑3 half‑court with constraints.
  • Scrimmage (10–20): Emphasize spacing and communication.
  • Cool‑down + recap (5): Shout‑outs for effort and growth.

Rotate stations weekly to keep things fresh and progressive.
