Practice Tips

How to Get the Most Out of Home Practice

⏱️

Keep Sessions Short

15–25 minutes of focused work is better than long, unfocused sessions. Quality over quantity.

🎯

Focus on Form First

Especially with shooting and ball handling β€” good form now builds better skills later.

πŸ”

Use Both Hands

Always practice dribbling, passing, and finishing with your non-dominant hand.
