11-29-2007 Game vs. Wayzata Info

  • The bus leaves from Valley View Middle School Door #15 (Northeast corner of VVMS).
  • Today's game will be played at Wayzata High School. When you enter the activities entrance, the main gym will be directly in front of you. Turn left, walk down the hall and the gym that we will be playing in will be to the right.
  • Door #15 is also where the bus will return. Players can call parents as we're nearing VVMS to provide approximate pick up times. Players can also retrieve any belongings from my classroom or their locker if needed. Plan to pick up your daughter at Door #15.

11-27-2007 Weekly Update #1

Weekly Update

Every week to two weeks, we will post our weekly update that will provide information on what we are working on, the upcoming schedule of events, and where each girl will be playing. Although this is outlined in advance, we appreciate your understanding that circumstances will sometimes require us to be flexible and deviate from our original assignments and schedule.

Current Focus

This week we will be focusing on learning more offensive and defensive schemes. In addition, we will be teaching individual and team defense. Players will learn to pressure the ball, jump to the ball, on-ball, deny and help position and boxing out. We will review our 1-2-2 full court defense. (We will play player-to-player defense on most occasions except for the full court press and eventually a sparsely-used 1-3-1 half court trap.) Offensively, we will review the 4 out/1 in offense and work on another offense and a few set plays as well as review our basic inbounds plays and offensive and defensive alignment for the initial jump ball.

Each week we focus on developing shooting (including layups), ball handling and passing skills. Players will participate in the free-throw ladder. We always work on transition, emphasizing the fast break. We will reinforce boxing out and defensive position. And we will use daily game situations (controlled 5 on 5) to reinforce all skills and schemes taught.
