Program

The CU Sport Methodology III - Sport Training - Basketball operates under a special regime, which focuses on the vocational training, developed in sports training centers (STC). By STC is meant a core of in-service training in the specific context of sports training, where students will be confronted with the problems raised by practice and be induced to solve them in an open perspective like the nature of the sport system preparation. The program of classes and thematic seminars is as follows:

1. Team offensive tactics:
    1.1. Fast-break and offensive transition.
    1.2. Offense against man-to-man defense.
    1.3. Offense against zone defense.
    1.4. Offense against full court pressing defense.
    1.5. Baseline and sideline offense.
2. Team defensive tactics:
    2.1. Defensive transition.
    2.2. Half court man-to-man defense.
    2.3. Full court man-to-man defense.
    2.4. Zone defense.
    2.5. Zone press defense.
3. Observation and game analysis:
    3.1. Individual and team scouting (opponent and own team).
4. The basketball coach’s report.
5. Strength and condition training in basketball.
6. New technologies in basketball.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Taking into account the aims previously mentioned and which are embodied in the acquisition of skills and competences to carry out the role of coach, the methodologies applied are less expository and more interactive. Thus, concomitant with theoretical and practical classes of a more conventional nature, the use of different teaching strategies is projected in order to place the student at the center of the teaching-learning process:

- Individual and group sessions to reflect and discuss about the activities developed within the scope of the professional training.
- Meetings with the Professor responsible for the STC that encourage critical reflection on problems emerging from real contexts of practice.
- Thematic seminars guided either by Professors or by sports agents with exceptional profiles in different areas of intervention (coaches, club coordinators, managers, referees).

The intention of preparing students for the future profession of coach also requires the use of training strategies that allow increasing autonomy, for which the use of questioning competes, in a growing profile of demands, which begins with the confrontation of knowledge in strict sense, passing through its application (demonstrating, exemplifying, prescribing) until reaching the resolution of problems.

Eligibility for exams

Students must attend 75% of the planned formal teaching sessions: theoretical classes; practical classes; reflection and discussion sessions concerning the activities developed within the scope of the professional internship; meetings with the professor responsible for the STC; thematic seminars.

Calculation formula of final grade

Success in the UC is guaranteed by obtaining grade 10 (9.5 with rounding) on a scale from 0 to 20, in the following evaluation components prescribed for students in the STC regime:

a) Fieldwork: 
    - Intervention in the context of training and competition (40%)
b) Written works:
    - Dossier (30%)
    - Internship report (30%)

Final classification (FC) results from the following formula:

FC = (fieldwork score*0.40) + (dossier score*0.30) + (internship report score*0.30))
