Book private basketball coaching in Willoughby

The 80/20 rule in basketball means focusing most of your training on the small set of skills that appear most often in games.

• Dribble penetration: attacking the basket off the dribble is a high-frequency skill that unlocks easy scoring and creates foul opportunities.
• Passing and cutting: quick, accurate passes combined with purposeful off-ball movement make up the backbone of most offensive systems.
• Catch-and-shoot mechanics: a reliable catch-and-shoot game is one of the 20% of skills that translates directly into points.
• Defensive positioning: staying in the correct defensive stance and keeping between your opponent and the basket prevents the majority of easy scoring chances.

Focusing on these high-impact fundamentals accelerates development far more than spreading effort across dozens of rarely used techniques.

Basketball tutors in Willoughby typically charge $70/h per hour.

Several factors influence the price:

• The level of study (junior, youth, senior)
• The coach's expertise and background
• The package you choose (one-off or regular)
• The lesson format (online, at a local court, at the tutor's facility)

Most coaches offer a trial lesson so you can assess their approach before committing.

Learning basketball as a beginner means building a solid technical base before adding complexity or game strategy.

• Ball handling: learning to dribble without looking at the ball opens up decision-making in live play and is foundational for all positions.
• Shooting form: developing a consistent, repeatable shooting motion early on is easier to build correctly than to correct later — alignment, arc and follow-through matter from day one.
• Footwork: clean footwork reduces turnovers and opens up passing and driving lanes that less disciplined players miss.
• Defensive stance: staying low, keeping your feet active and maintaining correct positioning between your opponent and the basket are the basics of individual defence.

These fundamentals are best learnt with structured, personalised guidance from an experienced coach.
