Are the drills designed to incorporate maximum touches? i.e. dribbles, passes, shots
In a group setting, are there long lines (i.e. waiting) which minimize touches?
Are the participants constantly dribbling & shooting the ball?

Does the trainer provide periodic WRITTEN assessments which include, strengths and areas for
improvement?

Do the drills match the age and skill level of the participants?
