Session Overview
Fort Collins High School Head Coach Jared Rudiger outlines how to identify, designate, and mentor upperclassmen into vocal on-court leaders who hold teammates accountable during competitive drills and matches.
Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles
- Define clear, observable leadership responsibilities for upperclassmen rather than assuming captains automatically know how to lead.
- Train veteran players to challenge younger teammates in competitive drills while maintaining vocal encouragement and family culture.
- Establish player-led huddles between drills so athletes take ownership of communication and energy on the court.
Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:

Why Recommended for Coaches:
