Abstract

The purpose of the study was to describe the basketball-training program of the DLSU-EAC varsity team and compared it with the recommended training programs that were available. We gathered proof of the limitations and weaknesses of the study regarding the training program to enhance. DLSU-EAC varsity team had no solid training manual for players as mentioned by the official coach of the varsity team, Mr. Rafael Ledesma. In the absence of a training manual, we formulated a basketball-training program based on books read. Then we interviewed Mr. Ledesma and the varsity players on the training program of the school. A comparison made between the training programs based on the books and the DLSU-EAC training program based on the interview. Comparison based on points stated in the books. 1) Philosophy 2) Nutrition 3) Warm-up Exercises and Conditioning 4) Training Skills and Drills 5) Rest and 6) Other Considerations such as personal hygiene, avoidance of smoking and drinking, availability of facilities and equipment and team building. It found out that the basketball-training program of the DLSU-EAC varsity team had limitations and weaknesses as well as some good points. The school's training program considered good when it comes to developing skills but other aspects such as nutrition, rest, equipment, personal hygiene, team building have not given much consideration. The study recommended that DLSU-EAC basketball-training program improve a better performance in both non-competitive and competitive games.
