The game of basketball is physically demanding. The best players and most effective teams have conditioned themselves to perform at a high level throughout the course of a single game and over the length of an entire season.

There are million different ways to help your players get into “basketball shape”. Each coach and program should base their conditioning model on a variety of factors including:

• Length of the Preseason
• Number of Healthy Bodies
• Kids playing Other Sports (at the High School Level)
• Timing and number of breaks during the year
• Sequence and timing of games
• Style of Play
• Baseline Fitness Testing

Regardless of the specifics of your conditioning model, there are a few key principles that you should consider when it comes to developing a plan for your team.

1. Build From the Ground Up
2. Quality over Quantity
3. Track Everything to Show Progress/Regression
4. Choose a Plan that Aligns with Your Long-Term Goals
5. Challenge Your Players but Don’t Make Conditioning Something they Hate
