More Efficient Player Development For In-Season Practices & Offseason Workouts
As a coach, you realize that the most influence you have over building your team comes from what you choose to do in:
- Team Practices
- Off-Season Workouts
If you want to gain an edge on your opponents, you need to find more effective coaching methods during these 2 crucial player development times. And to help you, let's meet...
World Renowned 3v3 Expert AND
USA Basketball 3x Gold Medalist
...Coach Nick LoGalbo
Coach Nick LoGalbo has spent time as a USA Basketball Junior Nationals Coach and nearly 20 years as a high school coach. Along the way he has become one of the world's best 3v3 coaches.
Here are some of his accomplishments...
- 3 FIBA World Cup Gold Medals For USA Basketball 3-on-3 Men and Women U18, Head Coach.
- USA Basketball 5-on-5 Junior National Team Court Coach.
- Head basketball coach at Lane Tech Prep High School in Chicago, Illinois.
- School's first Top 25 Chicagoland ranking in over 20 years.
- USA Basketball Coaching Record 38-4 (.902)
Coach LoGalbo has learned throughout the years the vast advantages using 3v3 Drills for your practices and player development.
He almost exclusively uses 3v3 Drills in the offseason for player development and uses a high percentage in his practices during the season.
Why?
He has found 3v3 to be the most efficient and effective way to develop his players and his team in the ultra competitive Chicago area (and not to mention for USA Basketball in the FIBA world circuit!)
Trickle Up Effect With 3v3 Basketball
There has been a movement recently to use more 3v3 with middle school, high school, and college teams.
Now some will say this is a trickle up effect.
Coaches are beginning to realize that the same advantages Youth programs receive from using 3v3 Drills, still apply as kids get older .... and maybe EVEN MORE SO!
Others will say NBA teams began using more 3v3 Drills in the professional ranks and this is trickling down to lower levels...
Whether this is a trickle up effect or trickle down effect (potato/potahto), the fact is, coaches are in agreement...
It is a best coaching practice to add more 3v3 and small sided games to your practices and workouts!!!
9 Reasons You Must Implement More 3v3 Drills
3v3 Provides...
- More Reps, More Touches, More Choices... More Improvement! - Obviously if there are 3 players on a team instead of 5, they will get more reps, more touches, and will have tons more decisions to make.
Coach LoGalbo calls this building compound interest over time. The more 3v3 you play, the more all of these extra touches, reps, and choices begin to really help players grow.
Not only will their skills grow, but their basketball IQ will grow as well!
It doesn't happen overnight, but the more you can incorporate 3v3 instead of 5v5, the benefits will compound over time! - Improve Your D - Often coaches think of all of the offensive benefits of 3v3. But the truth is there are just as many defensive benefits.
Players are forced to guard 1 on 1 in space, which is not easy to do. And there are less players available to help if they get beat.
Also your help D is strengthened. Players must cover more space to help, forcing them to become better help defenders.
The list of defensive benefits is endless! - Nowhere To Hide - Let's face it, when playing 5v5, there are times that players can "hide" offensively or defensively.
It is absolutely impossible for players to hide playing 3v3.
Players are on island offensively and defensively. And there is nowhere for them to hide. - Active Learners/Less Standing - Whether we are talking practices or workouts, 3v3 allows more players to participate.
You do not have to sit players on the sideline to watch.
With 18 players, instead of having 10 play and 8 stand, you can work on those same offensive actions at 3 hoops with 3 sets of 3v3 taking place (18 players playing!)
Less standing = more active learners! - 10 Or Less At Practice, Problem Solved - Whether it is off season workouts or an optional practice, 3v3 Drills allow you to accomplish everything you want to with players in attendance.
Coach LoGalbo teaches you how to work on team offense, team defense, and skill development with 6 (or less) players to maximize all practice/workout situations. - Teaches Great Spacing - Spacing is offense and offense is spacing.
Using 3v3 players quickly learn how important being well spaced is and how it puts pressure on the defense.
Spacing creates more driving lanes and scoring opportunities.
This learning and IQ building carries over to their 5v5 play and players become more skilled at creating great offensive spacing. - Easier To Provide Coaching Feedback - When watching 5v5 live, it can be challenging at times to pick out exactly what you want to provide feedback on. It's also easy to miss mistakes that you want to correct.
For younger or newer coaches, it is much easier to spot details that you want to coach up in a 3v3 setting.
Also, your assistant coaches can be more effective coaching in a 3v3 setting where they are looking for one or two points of emphasis with a court that has 6 players instead of 10. - Don't Reinvent The Wheel - Youth basketball is taught most effectively and efficiently through the use of 3v3 basketball drills (and small-sided games).
Fact.
And then as players get older, many of us coaches (me included) tend to go away from 3v3 and do more 5v5 in practice.
Coaches have begun realizing this and are bringing more 3v3 drills back into their practices.
All of the great things about 3v3 for youth still apply as kids get to high school and college. Coach LoGalbo shows you 3v3 drills that work with high school, college, and professional players....and how to get the most out of these drills! - More Fun Equals Better Energy and Intensity At Practice - If players are competing in 3v3 Drills, they are touching the ball more and being more active.
More touches = more fun, no matter the age or level! And more fun means that there is better energy and more intensity at practice.
6 Categories - Kitchen Sink NOT Included
Coach LoGalbo provides you with everything but the kitchen sink!
Coach LoGalbo doesn't simply show you how to do a couple drills on offense and a couple drills on defense using 3v3. He throws it ALL at you. Including drills in the following categories:
Zoom, Splits, Pistol, and More
In this section Coach LoGalbo takes you through a wide range of extremely popular and effective offensive actions (Zoom, Splits, Pistol and more).
He teaches you proper reads of them and shows you how to run them in a 3v3 setting.
He also tells you how to incorporate your 2 other players eventually when you move to a 5v5 setting.
Learn how to play from advantage and disadvantage situations when starting 3v3 drills.
If players have an advantage, it is important they keep the advantage. These drills are perfect for teaching players...
- How to find an advantage
- How to keep an advantage
- How to score off the advantage
These 3v3 Drills help you teach proper closeouts while on an island and how to keep players out of the paint.
And with so many teams using ball screen actions, Coach LoGalbo incorporates a ball screen drill. The ball screen drill allows you to emphasize any coverages you use and it forces your team to communicate!
Coach LoGalbo takes you through efficient and effective pick & roll options with all of the reads.
He first shows them 3v0 and then you can then incorporate your defensive actions into these pick and roll options to work both your offensive and defense at the same time.
Three intense and effective 3v3 rebounding drills are included (including a rebounding drill that teaches you how to box out if playing Zone D!)
Learn how to create non-negotiables for these fast paced and fun offensive and defensive drills that allow you to get players laser focused on key points of emphasis.
Players are forced to communicate, think, and work on whatever offensive or defensive non-negotiables you want to emphasize that practice!
Along with all of these on-court drills, Coach LoGalbo provides:
- Chalk talk of philosophy behind the drills
- Whiteboard breakdown of all drills
You Never Graduate From Skill Development!
As a Bonus, Coach LoGalbo also provides you with a 55 minute video of some of his favorite skill development drills he uses with his own team as well as with USA Basketball.
These skill development drills can be done with any number of players from 0 on up. They work on:
- Ball Handling
- Pivoting
- Footwork
- Finishing Moves
- Shooting
- And much more!
Coach LoGalbo constantly emphasizes skill development, in season and out of season, because YOU NEVER GRADUATE FROM SKILL DEVELOPMENT!
Model a Master Teacher
One of the most important aspects of this program is the fact that after watching a Master Teacher, you'll be better equipped to create your own 3v3 drills.
After you go through each of the categories and drills Coach LoGalbo provides, you will have a much better understanding of how you can build 3v3 drills.
And you can create them with an emphasis on what you do offensively and defensively!
What Others Are Saying
Coach LoGalbo teaches, he emphasizes fundamentals in new and sometimes cutting edge ways that I'd never considered before. All of his drills and instructions are straightforward and simple to follow with no fluff! If you want to get better as a coach, it is pretty simple, follow the lead of Nick LoGalbo.
I learned so much after watching the videos that I already feel like a better coach! Implementing the drills now with my team in their workouts and will continue to implement them during the season.
Thanks Coach!

Love the way Coach LoGalbo shows you how to implement any offensive actions with a 3v0 and 3v3 look. I'd never thought of doing that before.
As a coach I try to limit standing around in practices, and 3v3 will help me accomplish this and develop my team in a much more efficient manner.
Even the Skill Development Drills included are awesome. I'll use every one of them with my players!
