5 team activities to grow your 🏀 program’s CULTURE
1\ Senior Reflections
Towards the end of the season have each of your seniors individually share reflections about their playing career with their team - the highs, lows, regrets, how they’ve grown
2\ Breakfast Club
Open the gym and weight room for 45-60 minutes prior to school for kids to get in extra work
It’s voluntary, but f it catches on, players will want to be a part of the work and not be left out
Guide players on their specific development
3\ Volunteer
I like to coordinate with a local church and have our players help serve a meal and wrap some presents for the underprivileged
It doesn’t have to be a church, many places are looking for extra helping hands
It’s a good photo op for your program as well
4\ Attend A College Practice
Find a local/regional college basketball program and take your team to watch them work
It will be great for them to see what the next level looks like, and how coachable the college players are
It’s eye-opening to see the size and speed up close
5\ Team Retreat
An overnight getaway, approved by your school, to work on team building or do a fun activity
I’ve always taken my teams to an overnight basketball camp, where we play games but have a lot of time in between to bond and get to know each other
