Our club held a regular session in the cadet’s school called Boarding school of Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation in a One Team joint social project and EuroLeague clubs.

This time the senior group greeted serious delegation – Olympic champion Sergey Tarakanov and CSKA Junior Team coach Leonid Spirin. Before the start Sergey asked girls to listen carefully to every comment and every advice, because for fruitful work you need to know and understand your mistakes. Leonid asked about the team’s success in the KES-Basket championship. By the way, the previous game was won by cadettes with 79-0 score. They will play in quarterfinal.

Coaches used a clinic to practice dribbling and passing. To start Spirin suggested to warm-up and stretch with balls. Any work with the ball requires fast hands and agility of the player. Girls realized it while making the drills. They performed different drills, then took part in games offered by the coach. The first one was similar to a classic catch-up, but here it was necessary to drive the ball – it helped to understand the girls’ level, many of them made turnovers, someone on the contrary dribbled great. The problem was during one of the games where three players should catch as many other teammates as they could but this three players must not use the dribble, only passes. The girls began to run individually to catch one at a time. It was hard to catch from the first try, the from the second one, so coaches suggested that they need tactics. Only united, cadettes got the result. Spirin said about mistakes, that being a leader in basketball means a lot, but the team always wins. After it a free throw competition was held for team spirit developing. At the end of the clinic they practiced front dribble, behind the back dribble, under the feet dribble, back pivot, and passing game. As a final word, Sergei Tarakanov advised the team to remember those exercises that’s hard to do the right way, and train them again in their free time.
