Beginner training plan
Your first lesson1. Build Comfort:
Start by introducing yourself, asking a few questions, and making the player feel at ease. Keep the vibe positive and low-pressure.
2. Assess Skills:
Watch how they handle basic movements—dribbling, passing, and shooting—just to see where they’re starting from.
3. Teach 1–2 Simple Skills:
Focus on one or two basics, like dribbling and layups. Keep it fun with small challenges and lots of encouragement.
4. End with Encouragement:
Give positive feedback, highlight progress, and suggest something easy to practice at home.
