Introduction
Basketball Unit
During this unit we have focused on three offensive skills; dribbling, passing, and shooting.
Developing your skills takes both physical repetition as well as an understanding of certain techniques that will make those skills easier to consistently perform correctly.
Task
Think about the offensive skill (dribbling, passing, or shooting) that you need to work on most given your experience in class.
You will be responsible for leading yourself in 15 minutes of independent practice next class period. When the teacher checks in with you, you should be able to explain what you are working on, why that skill is important, and technical details that you are focusing on during your practice.
Process
Utilize the videos in the playlists created for each skill to find drills to help you develop a singular skill of your choosing:
