My name is Gregory Volitich and I’m into basketball training. The past year, I’ve helped out at a number of basketball camps in our county, training youngsters with plans of becoming the next Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, or even Magic Johnson.

What I noticed though, was that many camps target all-around skills. While this is well and good, I still maintain that there should be different camps for kids who wish to play for specific positions – like point guards.
For instance, point guards need more dribbling drills than most players. The need to know how to shift gears and go at full sprint while dribbling the ball – with both hands. Point guards also need to know how to break the full-court press and how to get the ball to teammates when double-teamed.

Point guards also need to work closely with their coaches since they are the primary play callers in-game. The offensive strategy of the team runs through the point guard almost every time. Point guards can also be seen as the quarterbacks of the teams, and they need to develop the vision and passing skill to get the ball to any teammate on any point of the floor.
What other training tips can you think of for point guards? Feel free to share them with me in the comments section below.
