Coaching 101- Practice Scrimmage Game

 

Scrimmage Game

1- 5 on 5 playing to 11 points. 

2- +3= 3 pointer, +2= 2 pointer, +1= offensive or defensive rebound

3- Defense gets steal or rebound, they break the other way.

4- Offense scores, play stops, it is make it/take it with offense going in half- court 5 vs 5 again.

5- If a team turns it over twice, game over, they lose.

6- First team to 11 points wins. 

It is good scrimmage concept- It emphasizes rebounding it and taking care of the ball. It includes both transition play and working vs set defense.

If a coach wants to emphasize different aspects of the game, instead of starting with 5 vs 5 in half-court and starting that way off makes, there are a different things that can be done to emphasize other aspects of the game. For example:

A- Start with ob’s.

B- Always start with only 10 seconds on the shot clock or actual clock.

C- Start shooting one FT and then get into press.

D- Start vs a different defense- go vs 1-3-1 or Box vs 1. 

It is a great scrimmage concept where you are able to have both teams in a competitive game have to handle different situations.
