BASKETBALL

GENERAL WARM UP:

Before you begin doing anything, the body needs to warm up a little, lasting 5-10 minutes.

Jog around or jump with the rope. Also you can also do a some series of dynamic movements like:

High Knee Walk

High Knee Skip High Knee Run Butt Kicks Straight Leg Walk Backwards High Knee Skip Backwards Run Defensive Slide You can play some games before you continue with the warm up. The aim of the general warm up is to elevate the heart rate and respiratory rate. This increases the blood flow and helps with the transportation of oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles. This also helps to increase the muscle temperature, allowing for a more effective static stretch.

STATIC STRETCHING:

Then you start stretching to protect you for from having a serious injury: (these are some of

the most important)

NECK (both sides) DORSAL AND TRICEPS

DORSAL

CALF MUSCLES ADDUCTORS

GROINS

The purpose of stretches is to increase the range of motion of your joints. Hold each stretch for 15-25 seconds.

SPECIFIC WARM UP:

Later you can start doing some passes with your partners and bouncing the ball, also you can do some games or shoot to the baskets, doing competitions competing against your team mates and learn new palys games that your coach will teach you for the match. All this these games help you to improve your technique with the ball. Finally you can paly play a match with your partners where you will put into practise all you have learned.

STRETCHING AND COOL DOWN: You must stretch all your muscles again for not to prevent having injuries. Alba Montiel.
