This is a copied post I wrote on another message board. The Power 30 concept comes from Zach-Even Esh and his website http://www.undergroundstrengthcoach.com He created this article and concept and this is merely my adaptation to a basketball practice. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Just wanted to share with you how we have adapted some of your ideas which we use in the weight room, for our use on the practice court. Personally I follow your Power 30 outline for myself and it has saved me enormous amounts of time and I have not compromised any strength. Currently we follow an upper/lower/full body split. We have adapted it some but the principles are basically the same:
1. Quick 5 min. warm-up
2. 10 min. skill work is a core lift using Jim Wendler's 5/3/1
3. Then 15 min. of a quick auxillary or bodyweight circuit and maybe some prowler to finish it off
The results have been great for me as well as for my players. Here is what we are doing for practice this summer:
1. Quick warm-up of 5 min.
2. 10 min. working on skill emphasis of the day in a 2v2 or 3v3 situation ( if it's passing then we will do a competitive passing drill with offense and defense)
3. 15 min. on team competitive drill which emphasizes the skills we previously worked on in a breakdown setting
4. After that we can work on whatever we need to for that day, this allows us to focus on whats really important to us and if the kids need a break or are doing great we can cut practice short knowing we got our most important stuff done 1st
