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.
