Skill development has turned into a big deal. If you go to Google and type in skill development trainer you will get a very large result of coaches, trainers, and academies. Some are really good and some not so much. Lets be honest, majority of the skill development done is on offense. It focuses on ball handling, shooting, passing, and footwork. Those things are great for the individual player or when conducting small groups. But if you are a coach at a middle school or high school you tend to spend more time on the team vs the individual.

Basketball season is here and is in full swing. Coaches are preparing their teams for the next game with scouting reports and watching team film. Teams are also prepping for competition by executing half court offensive plays and defensive schemes in practice. Each one of those are very important to team success, but coaches and players must also remember to get in some skill development time.
