Inside Team Takeover: A Grassroots Journey - Week 7 Recap
As we moved into Week 7 at Severn School, intensity was the name of the game. This week’s session had a clear focus: defense. The players hit the court, running through the challenging shell drill—a staple for building team defense and communication. Each movement, every rotation, had to be sharp and precise. No room for hesitation.
After the shell drill, they took it to the next level with a full-court game, using the 5-out offense drill. It was a test of both their offensive spacing and defensive reaction. By this point, you could see that the kids were adapting quickly. The work from previous weeks had prepared them well, setting a solid foundation for what lies ahead.
As the practice wrapped up, Severn Coach Mike Glasby took a moment to speak with the youth, sharing positive insights on what he observed throughout the session. His encouragement left a strong impression on the players, adding to their motivation as they head toward the next challenge.
Next week is a big one—Week 8 brings the official Team Takeover tryouts. Watching these young players push through today, it’s clear they’re ready to show just how much they’ve grown.
