HIJH 6th Grade Basketball
November 15, 2019
This Week...
After unexpected cancellations of Saturday and Monday's practices, we played catch up for the first few days of practice this week. We are definitely forming into a cohesive unit and the boys seem to be developing some great relationships. I would like to see a little more consistency on both the offensive and defensive ends. When we are rolling we have something special, but we tend to lose focus when a few possessions don't go our way.
Our rebounding is sporadic as well. I have stopped a few scrimmages to work on our boxing out and rebounding techniques. As a whole group we have to be committed to rebounding the basketball. I have seen improvements but know that we can still get even better.
