In season is most formally known as the competition season. This time frame focuses on using the training implemented from the pre-season as well as the off season. The training that is primarily used in this period is geared towards maintaining strength and endurance, not gaining it. Conditioning demands during this period are still very crucial. Although they are an intricate part for training during this period, they must only take place during certain periods. These periods include practices within three or more days in between games. Resistance training follows these guidelines as well. It is important for things to be this way because you do not want to exhaust the athlete’s body before a competition, and you must allow their body to properly recover after a competition.

This also includes fast break drills, inbounding the ball from different corners and spots on the basketball court, scrimmaging, as well as going through various types of scenarios that may take place during a competition. Outside of resistance training all other training will take place in “game like” speeds. This means that every drill, sprint, exercise will be done as if the athlete were doing it in an actual competition. How you practice/train is how you will play.
