​Position Expectations for Posts

1. Must develop an attitude that the "paint" belongs to you. Be stronger and more determined than your opponent. 

2. Be able to score with either hand (off the glass) going to the middle or to the baseline. When posting up show your jersey number to the passer. Develop a variety of moves: up n under, hook, power, and reverse. Be able to score facing the basket from the elbow or short corner, while feeling comfortable shooting the 3pt shot. 
​
3. Be able to find the open player when you are double-teamed, and then deliver the pass to the open player. ​

​4. Be able to screen effective and roll to the basket. 

5. Never be the last person up the floor - always beat the opponent's post. 

6.If you can touch it you can rebound it (learn to use your hips to defend and create space). 

7.Be able to make your move before using your dribble, and be able to get to basket in 1 dribble from high post (do not dribble more than once in the lane). When beginning the break be able to use 2 dribbles or more if necessary. 
​
8. Be able to defend the low post from behind, 1/2 and full front. Bump cutters, and look to go for steals. 

9. Be able to defend your player and sprint to help when necessary. Be able direct an offensive player on the perimeter to the baseline. Stop the offensive players' first-move, and then never get beat by the same move again. 

10. Be able to call upon all your senses: head (smarts), touch (be physical), hearing (pick-up verbal keys from opponents), and speaking (communicate with your teammates). ​

Goals: Be able to make 51% from floor, 75% from line, grab 8 per game (3 offensively). Be able to hold opponent post to 10 pts and 4 rebounds or less
