One of the most difficult things we do as coaches is to stay organized in developing effective practice plans. Head coaches usually have enough experience and mistakes behind them to have an idea of what an effective basketball practice looks like but have difficulty recreating it on a regular basis. Young coaches and assistant coaches are essentially left in the dark when it comes to effective practice planning. If you are a head coach, assistant, or volunteer the following information will help you out.
Staying organized and developing an effective basketball practice plan is actually easier than you think if you keep a few fundamental principles in mind
Less is More: Too often coaches develop practice plans that include too much. An effective practice does not have to cover everything. Instead it should have a focus on a few important fundamentals and principles. Players should feel like practice ended about 5-10 minutes too soon. It keeps them wanting more and this is a priceless attitude to have on your team.
Keep The Momentum: Probably the agel

biggest weakness I see in most practices is down time. A good practice should have a steady momentum to it. There should be very little down time. The best thing you can do for your practice is to keep your players constantly engaged and focused. Down time or slow spots in a practice can kill the momentum and cause players to lose focus. Remember you are dealing with 13-17 year old athletes... they can lose focus very quickly and for some pretty bizarre reasons. Don't let your lack of organization be one of them. Studies show that our attention span roughly equals our age. You should not spend more than 10-20 minutes focusing on one drill or area. Don't fall into the trap of, "We are going to do this until you get it right!" When it's time for the drill to end... end it and move on.
Practice Should Have a Progression: Don't simply do random drills. Each drill should have a specific purpose and should build in progression. Example: Don't simply do a 1 on 1 drill because your team needs to be better on-ball defenders. Allow the 1 on 1 to progress into 2 on 2 and then 3 on 3 and up to 5 on 5. This will allow them to work on their on-ball defense and engages them in game simulation.
Organize Yourself: Organize your basketball practices so that you can keep on time and on task. Write your practice plans down... don't simply try to do it from memory because you will get mired down in something you didn't intend to. Keep organized basketball practice plans in one place so you can compare with what you did yesterday and last week. This allows you to see what worked and what didn't but more importantly it allows you to build from one practice to the next. Post your practices on the gym wall so that your players can check where they are during water breaks. It helps them understand what they are doing and why they are doing it.
