How the basketball practice planner works
Pick a practice length and grade level. The module panel filters to drills that honestly fit that age, grouped by phase: arrival, warm-up, core, conditioning, and cooldown. Drag a module between segments to add it with its default duration, or drop it onto a segment to stack it. Every duration is editable and the summary bar tracks planned minutes against your target.
Free-text segments are always available, so a plan never dead-ends on a drill we do not have. Stations blocks split the team into 2-6 rotating groups. The free set covers form-shooting spots, dynamic baseline lines, the form-shooting progression, the ball-handling circuit, shell defense, 3-man weave layups, and 3v2 / 2v1 transition, plus every universal module. The rest of the basketball library, including 5v5 situations and the offense walkthrough for high school teams, shows in the panel and unlocks with a free account.
