Werribee Basketball is adopting & implementing a Club Curriculum to develop consistency in what is taught, learnt & valued across the entire Werribee Devils Representative Program from VJBL Junior teams through to Big V Senior Teams. Having a consistent philosophy across the program will help develop a clear pathway and program for all players. It will also develop a feeling of club unity and greater integration between all teams, age groups and the junior & senior program. There are numerous examples of professional and association level sporting clubs that have successfully implemented a “Club Philosophy” including Barcelona in Soccer, Cairns Basketball (from NBL down to U/12 Rep) & many more. It is important to note that the club curriculum is ‘athlete centered’, meaning that it is 7 designed to consider “what is best for the athlete?”. The content of the Club Curriculum is aimed to prepare athletes to succeed at higher levels within the player pathway e.g. Basketball Victoria & the Basketball Australia elite 1 athlete pathway, the Senior Big V program, US College system & professional leagues. 0 #WeAreWerribee 2 3 How was the Club Curriculum developed? The Werribee Basketball Club Curriculum has been developed by the WBA Player & Coach Development Manager in consultation with many internal & external stakeholders including: Big V Senior & Youth League Head Coaches. Werribee Devils Representative Coaching Leads. Experienced Werribee Devils Representative Coaches. Basketball Victoria High Performance Coaches. High Performance Coaches from other states. Various other experienced professional level basketball coaches & Directors of Coaching from other large Victorian Associations. Compiling documentation already developed by BV, BA & FIBA. Alignment with Basketball Victoria & Basketball Australia 7 The Werribee Club Curriculum has a strong link & alignment with the Basketball Victoria & Basketball Australia directives on style of play & 1 curriculum so that our players are given the best possible chance to progress along the state and national pathway. The Werribee Club Curriculum is strongly influenced by & linked with the: Basketball Australia, National style of play developed by Boomers & Opals Head Coaches. 0 The Victorian State curriculum developed by Basketball Victoria. 2 4 WERRIBEE DEVILS CLUB CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK & OVERVIEW "The Werribee Way" Club Curriculum Framework Values Teamwork Commitment Hard work Resillence Style of Play OFFENCE DEFENCE Pace/poise/penetration Full court – disrupt High % shot selection Half court – contain & contest Extra Pass Rebound/box out System 1.

It demonstrates the continuity of each aspect of athlete, team & program development and the holistic approach that we undertake when planning the content of the club curriculum. At the top of our framework are our values. Our values determine what our players, teams and overall club promote in all aspects of basketball. Our values link into our style of play, system of play, player attributes as well as skills & concepts we teach. Teamwork, for example, is demonstrated in our style of play through promoting players to sacrifice and work for the best shot for the team. This is achieved through drilling “extra pass” concepts as explained further in 7 the curriculum. Teaching players when & how to make the extra pass is developed through the concepts & skills our players learn. All aspects of the Club Curriculum Framework are interlinked & 1 connected. 0 #WeAreWerribee 2 6 WERRIBEE DEVILS - VALUES Our Club Values The Werribee Basketball Association aims to become the leading basketball program in Australia for player & coach development and the Association of Choice in Melbourne’s West. However, above all our number one aim is to fulfil our social responsibility to develop good people. Part of the holistic development of our athletes is to ensure we instill strong values that will last with athletes into their adult life & beyond their playing days. Our values create our club culture, our culture is who & what we are! TEAMWORK Werribee players are ‘team first’ players. They make sacrifices and “buy in” to doing what is best for the team on both ends of the floor. This extends to their teammates and club off the court. Werribee teams huddle on stoppages, give high fives, encourage & communicate positively to each other. Werribee players are great teammates! “Talent wins games, but teamwork & intelligence wins championships” – Michael Jordan COMMITMENT Werribee players are committed to the team/club. Werribee players make rep basketball a priority and take it seriously. Werribee players attend all practices, games and are always on time/punctual & wear their uniform with pride “There are only two options regarding commitment. You’re either IN or you’re OUT! There is no such life as in-between” – Pat Riley 7 WERRIBEE DEVILS - VALUES Our Club Values The Werribee Basketball Association aims to become the leading basketball program in Australia for player & coach development and the Association of Choice in Melbourne’s West.

Our values create our club culture, our culture is who & what we are! HARD WORK Werribee players understand the importance of hard work to be successful. Werribee players work hard at team practice to make each other better and do the ‘unrequired’ work outside of team commitments to improve individually to be the best they can be. Werribee players take accountability for their own development and work hard to make each player on their team better. “Confidence is what happens when you’ve done the hard work that entitles you to succeed” – Pat Summitt RESILIENCE Werribee players are mentally tough and can handle ‘setbacks’. When things don’t go their way, they stick together with their teammates, take accountability and find ways to continually to develop & improve. “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny” – C.S. Lewis 8 OFFENSIVE STYLE OF PLAY/PHILOSOPHY Effective Use of Shot Clock (3 Phases) “PACE” (FIRST 8 SECONDS) Fast-break/early offence. Play with “pace & space,” extremely important to fill transition floor spots. Look for 2 v 1 & 3 v 2 situations; kick aheads for layups, drive & kick options, deep seals, post catches & transition ("punch/drag") ball screen action. “POISE” (MIDDLE 8 SECONDS) Purposeful movement/motion: ball reversal, cutting action… still look to score & be aggressive however, we don’t want to force shots or take long contested 2s. Be poised! “PENETRATION” (LAST 8 SECONDS) The last 8 seconds is a great time to score as the defence gets tired, lazy or complacent. Do not rush, be controlled & look to get penetration off the dribble or pass to create high-quality shots. #WeAreWerribee 9 OFFENSIVE STYLE OF PLAY/PHILOSOPHY High Quality Shot Selection LAYUPS/ POINTS IN THE PAINT Putting ‘heat on the rim’ will lead to higher percentages shots both inside & outside. FREE-THROWS If we are aggressive & attack the paint, as well as get the ball to our post players, we will put pressure on the D, which will force them to foul & draw free throws. OPEN UNCONTESTED JUMP SHOTS (WITHIN YOUR SHOOTING RANGE) If we are able to get dribble penetration & get post touches, we will force the defence to rotate/scramble. This can result in open, uncontested shots that are higher percentage. SHOTS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE GAME Understanding the context of the game & what shot is required for the betterment of the team. For example, dependent on momentum, scoring runs, balance of outside/inside shots taken, players must work for the best shot we can/need to get. #WeAreWerribee 10 OFFENSIVE STYLE OF PLAY/PHILOSOPHY General Principles of Play BALL REVERSAL To shift the defence & create an advantage the ball must be reversed. PURPOSEFUL MOVEMENT (CUTTING & SCREENING) Within our offensive structures, all actions need to be completed with “purpose” & done at pace. Even cuts that are generally “sacrificial” need to be made as scoring cuts. POST PLAY (INSIDE/OUTSIDE GAME) It is tried and true that all good teams get the ball inside. Post players regularly shoot high percentages & put pressure on the defence, it also opens up the outside game by forcing rotations.
