The Best Evidence-Based Basketball Warm-ups

[@cjwijey]

Is there a reference that substantiates the idea that "there's very little benefit to stretching"? Would love a peer-reviewed resource that validates the claim when sharing it with others. Thanks!

I did a double take when I heard that!

Really like the first warm up drill, the second one I feel is problematic for teaching younger players when shielding maybe confuse them with what’s allowed with screening

[@TransformBball]

That's fair feedback! You could use constraints such as the shielder has to have their back facing the player, or even they have to stay stationary when making contact.

I feel like, it can be used as defensive work. Move your feet and guard with your chest, stay between your match up and his target. I also use the middle in 1v1+1, as 3point line screen that can be used to creat a advantage on his defender.

@@Secher8 That's exactly it!
