Workshop Structure
1) Warm-Up Games
Quick, fun basketball starters — dribbling relays, footwork ladders, and movement challenges with the ball. These build ball-control, coordination, and confidence while setting a positive, high-energy tone.
2) Main Session
Skill stations and small-sided games focused on dribbling under pressure, crisp passing, layup and shooting form, and defensive footwork. Progressive challenges develop technique, spacing, teamwork, and decision-making so every pupil is included and engaged.
3) Cool Down
Gentle stretches and breathing to recover, followed by a short reflection on skills learned (shot form, passing accuracy, teamwork highlight). Pupils leave calm, injury-aware, and ready to apply today’s basketball skills next time.
“Each lesson is different and exciting. The children love the familiar music and can’t wait for Daly Exercise to return!”
