🏀 The most complete preseason checklist

Published: Sun, 10/27/19

Hi Coach,

I’ll admit this upfront…

If I don’t write something down, it ceases to exist as far as my brain is concerned.

I rely heavily on lists and organizational tools.

That may be the teacher in me, but whatever the reason, I need structure to make the best use of my day…(who doesn’t!)

So when I saw this tool, I loved it.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

I mean, every coach has a plan they go through to prep for tryouts and preseason “rituals”, but I’ve NEVER seen anything as detailed as this.

The Ultimate Preseason Checklist

I literally put aside the forms and notes I’ve been using for years, and replaced them with this “secret weapon”.

Coach Derek Sheridan, who runs the show at Delta High School (OH), is my new favorite coach.

He’s gone over and above with this 17-page basketball-specific preseason planning tool.

The Ultimate Preseason Checklist

Here are just a few of the topics that I ripped right from the Table of Contents:

Team Logistics, Strengths, Weaknesses, & Change
Team & Individual Defense
Man-to-Man Defense Fundamentals Teaching Progression
Zone Defense Teaching Progression
Zone Defense Breakdown Drills Progression
Man-to-Man O’ Concepts Teaching Order
Man-to-Man Actions Teaching Order

You find sections to help you organize just about everything with regards to the upcoming season.

There is even a section to help you organize your sets vs different defensive rules.

I think it’s awesome that one of “us” took the time to sit down and write this up…and then offered it to his colleagues.

Very cool.

You can have everything for personnel from drills, plays, and special situation work, all structured in an easy to use format.

This stuff is GOLD!

Anyway, he’s charging $13 for the whole thing! That's less than $1 per page. He could have easily charged double that for the work that went into this awesome tool.

At this price, it's an absolute “no brainer”…

This tool will definitely help you prepare for success.
