Rent Basketball Coaching Videos via Mail

Wouldn't you like to become a better coaching in the next week? What if I told you you could double or triple your knowledge of the game in just a few short months? How much would you pay to double your coaching knowledge? Many coaches think they can just get by year to year on experience alone and looking up some new plays or drills on the Internet. 

That is a recipe for stagnation. You see if you really want to become a great basketball coach you need to study the game and learn from the best coaches in the business. Now you can travel to coaching clinics, pay for hotel rooms, food, admission to the clinic, and then sit on those really comfortable bleachers for 8 hours. Oh, and you'll hopefully someone will cover exactly what you are looking for. Now that's just the beginning of your problems attending a coaching clinic - because each coach is limited in the amount of time they have on the court so they can only cover so much.

Todd Lorensen (Rental)-Postionless Motion Offense for Basketball $18.99
Todd Lorensen: “Positionless” Motion Offense Two of the nation’s best junior college coaches share with you different strategies for the modern motion offense. Todd Lorensen, head coach at Buena Vista University (IA), and Jeremy Shulman, head coach at Eastern Florida State College, pair up to demonstrate the skills, drills, and spacing necessary to develop an offense that incorporates all the elements of the modern game. Lorensen took Buena Vista to the 2017 NJCAA DII national title and Shulman guided Eastern Florida State to the 2018 NJCAA D1 national championship. Each coach has a different take on the motion offense and shares how you can use their principles to be successful at any level. Todd Lorensen: 5-Out Motion Today’s game is moving toward a “positionless” approach to offense. As a result, players need to develop basic skills like cutting, screening, and passing in order to be effective in the modern motion offense. Coach Lorensen shows you 12 two- and three-man drills that emphasize these skills, including proper spacing on dribble penetration. The highlights of Coach Lorensen’s presentation include: Developing a two-foot jump stop to help players avoid charges and blocked shots. How to use drive and drift motions to free up your best shooters for wide open 3-pointers. How to tailor your offense to exploit certain defensive weaknesses. A rapid fire drill that teaches spacing and increases the number of shots players get in practice. Coach Lorensen also provides information on how certain sets can help you identify defensive weaknesses and help you exploit any mismatches. He also gives advice on how to transition into basic motion sets from virtually any spot on the floor. Jeremy Shulman: 4-Out Motion Shullman reveals to you the seven layers of his motion offense, one that scored 1.2 points per possession in 2016-17, the same year that Eastern Florida State won a national championship. Coach Shulman breaks down how each action combines to build an offense that is virtually unstoppable. The different layers allow for the offense to continue to install additional complexity over time making your teams very difficult to scout. Coach Shulman’s presentation includes the following: Proper spacing after ball screen action to pressure the defense and reduce the possibility of a steal. Three ways to use off-ball motion to open up driving lanes and get more layups. How to neutralize an aggressive switching defense. How to take advantage of post positioning to get easy shots. The new modern motion offense is easy to teach and easy for players to understand. Throw the positions out the window.

Pack Line Defense for High School Basketball by Brian Field Instructional Basketball Coaching Video
Brian Field (Rental)-Pack Line Defense for High School Basketball $18.99
Pack Line Defense About building and teaching the pack line defense Brian Field has developed a really great video. He uses the chalkboard to illustrates the primary defense’s concepts. After that he will give you a detailed on-court presentation with lots of explanations of techniques and drills.The players will force the offense to the baseline when you will meet different variation of the pack lines. The Coach Field has beautifully explained everything and has demonstrated how this defense has taken his team to the next level and how it helped them to improve their skills and abilities. This defense has helped them to force the opponent players into much tougher shots. He has also explained when he wants his player to switch and also explained the half court philosophies which were used with this defense. Triangle In this technique, one pass away, the defenders are inward and upward towards the ball. So against the dribble penetration this technique will allow the defender who is one pass away to be there against the dribble penetration. In the defensive assignment, so many young players will be guarding too close. This too much closeness shows rotation. There are so many advantages of maintaining this kind of triangle like the defender can get into the closer area, into the passing lane and be available for help when needed. Forcing Baseline When it comes to explaining the pack line defense most players have been forced to the middle of the floor and which is the point where most of the help is waiting. So, with this kind of technique, the opponent players are left with minimum offensive abilities. The Coach Field has beautifully explained that how keeping the offense on the sideline forces them to float a pass and when they move to the weaker side. When a difficult pass is forced across the court, the defensive players will be available there for help position to jump that pass. Brockport Drill Just like in Shaka Smart’s “Ironman Drill” where players must take a charge, this technique is pretty similar to that. There is only difference which is in Brockport Drill is more of a variation of the Shell Drill. One player is not forced to do multiple effort or drills instead the Brockport uses four players who must rotate into help and on-ball defense as the ball rotates. On the other hand, the weaker side helpers will help in cutting off the baseline and take a charge. This drill makes sure that you are getting proper rotations and communications while giving you that mental toughness element. Rent the Pack Line Defense for High School Basketball today.

Todd Lorensen (Rental)-Pack Line Defense For Undersized Teams $18.99

Ball Screen 3-on-3: Players learn to “come together” on screens to avoid any slippage or gaps for the offense. Coach Lorenson also explains problems with a player’s defensive position relative to gaps using terms such as “stretching” and “too low.” Defending the Post To slow down the effectiveness of a dominant post player, Coach Lorenson teaches full fronting. You will see how defenders use exaggerated arm and leg movements to use when fronting the post. Weakside players learn to “wall-up” post players on lob passes.

How to Run the Michigan Two Guard Front Offense Learn how to run the two guard front offense made famous by former West Virginia and Michigan head coach John Beilein in this video by John A. Ferguson HS (FL) head coach Tom Jicha. Coach Jicha, formerly as Sunset HS (FL), shares his interpretation of the perimeter-based offense. It is designed to help smaller teams that lack a post player more scoring opportunities. Coach Jicha reveals his three main sets: Motion, Shuffle, and Chin and blends them together to show you why his offense is one of the most difficult to defend in today’s game. Chin Set The Chin Set is broken down on the dry erase board first. Coach Jicha guides you through the offense including the four ways to get into it: the middle pass, the side pass, reversal, and the hand off. He then takes you to the court where he demonstrates the spacing and ball movement the offense provides. You’ll see the bump cut and pull-through techniques that are used to counter defensive pressure. Jicha also shows you the importance of high dribble-outs and the handoff to create back doors. Motion Set Motion is the set that is used on almost every trip down the floor. The offense starts with a wing pass and cut by the point. Coach Jicha then demonstrates seven motion options once that entry pass occurs. The secret to Motion is how smoothly it flows into Chin, which is extremely frustrating for defenses. Shuffle Set Shuffle is a unique set that provides wing-to-block shuffle cutting action. It can also flow right into Chin. In addition to the breakdowns of each set, Coach Jicha also teaches 20 quick hitters that can be used with the offense – five each for Chin and Motion and 10 for Shuffle. Coach Jicha closes his presentation with 10 drills he uses to teach offensive actions and to demonstrate how to get game shots.

Double is a double on-ball screen for the wing which then flows right into the continuity of the offense. Moving to the floor, Coach White goes over each action as well as the counters and change ups, such as Quick and Pop. One of the primary focuses of the offense is to use the post players.

Continuity Zone Offense & Concepts To Beat Any Zone Defense by Don Kelbick Instructional Basketball Coaching Video
Don Kelbick (Rental)-Continuity Zone Offense & Concepts To Beat Any Zone Defense $17.99
Unleashing the Power of the Kelbick Zone Offense: A Tactical Guide Introduction Welcome to our comprehensive guide on the Kelbick Zone Offense, a strategic approach that will revolutionize your basketball game. In this article, we will explore the intricacies of the Kelbick Zone Offense, providing you with expert insights, advanced techniques, and detailed breakdowns to help you outperform your opponents on the court. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer to basketball, this guide is your key to unlocking offensive excellence. Understanding the Kelbick Zone Offense The Kelbick Zone Offense, developed by renowned basketball coach Coach Kelbick, is a highly effective offensive strategy designed to exploit and dismantle zone defenses. This tactical approach emphasizes ball movement, player spacing, and strategic positioning to create scoring opportunities and break down even the most resilient zone defenses. Key Principles of the Kelbick Zone Offense 1. Ball Movement and Player Spacing One of the fundamental principles of the Kelbick Zone Offense is the emphasis on ball movement and player spacing. By constantly moving the ball from one side of the court to the other and maintaining proper spacing between players, you create openings in the zone defense, forcing defenders to make difficult decisions and openings for your team to exploit. 2. High-Percentage Shots The Kelbick Zone Offense aims to generate high-percentage shots by taking advantage of defensive gaps and mismatches. By executing precise passes, utilizing dribble penetration, and making intelligent cuts to the basket, you can create scoring opportunities near the rim or open up perimeter shots. This focus on high-percentage shots increases your team's efficiency and maximizes scoring potential. 3. Reading and Reacting to the Defense A key aspect of the Kelbick Zone Offense is the ability to read and react to the defense. Instead of relying on set plays, this offensive strategy encourages players to make quick decisions based on the movements and positioning of the defenders. By developing strong basketball IQ, recognizing defensive rotations, and exploiting weak spots in the zone, you can keep the defense off balance and consistently find open scoring opportunities. Implementing the Kelbick Zone Offense To successfully implement the Kelbick Zone Offense, you need to focus on key strategies and techniques. Let's explore some of the essential elements that will enhance your offensive prowess: 1. Establishing Proper Alignment Proper alignment is crucial in the Kelbick Zone Offense. Players should be positioned strategically to create passing angles and exploit defensive gaps. This includes having players in the high post, low post, and along the perimeter to stretch the defense and create multiple scoring options. 2. Utilizing the Flash Post The flash post is a fundamental movement in the Kelbick Zone Offense. It involves the player positioned in the high post quickly cutting towards the basket, creating a scoring opportunity near the rim or drawing defensive attention, which opens up passing lanes for teammates. The flash post requires precise timing, coordination, and the ability to read the defense effectively. 3. Screening and Cutting Screening and cutting play a vital role in the Kelbick Zone Offense. By setting screens on defenders, you create confusion in the defense and open up opportunities for your teammates. Simultaneously, players without the ball should constantly be moving, making cuts to the basket or relocating to open areas, forcing defenders to make difficult choices and creating scoring chances. The Benefits of the Kelbick Zone Offense Mastering the Kelbick Zone Offense  offers a myriad of benefits that can elevate your team's offensive capabilities and lead to victory on the court. Here are some key advantages of implementing the Kelbick Zone Offense: 1. Breaking Down Zone Defenses The Kelbick Zone Offense is specifically designed to exploit and dismantle zone defenses. By employing proper ball movement, player spacing, and strategic positioning, you can create openings in the defense and force defenders to make difficult choices. This offensive strategy puts constant pressure on the zone defense, leading to breakdowns, mismatches, and scoring opportunities. 2. Increased Scoring Efficiency One of the primary objectives of the Kelbick Zone Offense is to generate high-percentage shots. Through intelligent movement, precise passing, and smart decision-making, you can create scoring opportunities near the basket or open perimeter shots. By focusing on high-percentage shots, your team's overall scoring efficiency will improve, leading to higher point production and a greater chance of success. 3. Improved Offensive Flow The Kelbick Zone Offense promotes continuous ball movement and player involvement. With its emphasis on reading and reacting to the defense, this offensive strategy encourages players to make quick decisions based on the movements of defenders. This fluid style of play keeps the defense on their toes, disrupts their rotations, and creates a cohesive offensive flow that can lead to seamless scoring opportunities. 4. Enhanced Player Development Implementing the Kelbick Zone Offense allows players to develop various skills that are crucial to their overall basketball growth. The emphasis on reading the defense, making intelligent cuts, and executing precise passes enhances players' basketball IQ and decision-making abilities. Additionally, the offensive principles of the Kelbick Zone Offense promote teamwork, communication, and awareness on the court, fostering a positive team dynamic and individual player development. 5. Strategic Flexibility The Kelbick Zone Offense provides strategic flexibility, allowing teams to adapt to different defensive schemes and make in-game adjustments. By reading the defense and exploiting its weaknesses, you can modify your offensive approach to counter specific zone formations and defensive strategies. This adaptability gives your team a competitive advantage, as you can respond effectively to changing game situations and exploit defensive vulnerabilities. Conclusion The Kelbick Zone Offense is a game-changing strategy that can take your team's offensive performance to new heights. By implementing the key principles, techniques, and strategies outlined in this guide, you will have the tools to outperform opponents and unlock the full potential of your offensive capabilities.
