Great wknd for United 15U Diamond at Spooky Nook. After dropping our first game on a last-second shot, the girls bounced back to win 3 straight. 1 of our best wknds yet. Great competition, and we played team basketball on both ends of the floor. Every1 contributed @unitedNJaau

Next up for @unitedNJaau 15u Power 24 is @FinnSadie1223 ! Sadie is an excellent defender and can get to the rim and finish over taller defenders with her length. She is going to be fun to watch this spring!

Solid wknd for 15U Diamond. Won 4 straight to reach the gold bracket final behind great shooting from @AlaynaR1028 and @lindseyditmar18 and tough finishes from @LamboLady11 . Didn’t play our best and fell short in the end, but still some great takeaways from the wknd @unitedNJaau

“The idea that you need to have the fundamentals before you can play is flawed” Love it. I was making this mistake last year. I’m still spending time on skills, but leaving way more time in practice to just play and learn. @ShakeyWaits @BBallImmersion

@brianmccormick Practicing FTs is easy enough to do on your own, while many other things have to be done at practice with teammates/coaches. If time is limited, I wouldn’t say cutting out FTs sends the message that it’s not important, it’s just an easy thing to ask players to do individually

@kodahox @DaminAltizer Was thinking about this too. What popped into my head was it 1. creates space in front of his body for the shimmy 2. lulls the defender asleep a little bit 3. shifts the defender opposite the way he is about to attack.

@crusaderball23 All the best coaches steal. The thing is you have to take it and adjust it so it fits what you believe and what you need, otherwise it won’t work. Sharing plays/drills/concepts is so so useful, it just have to be taken advantage of the right way
