CLUB HISTORY
Students Club was founded in 1948 by a
group of students of the Institute Ramiro
de Maeztu, supported by one teacher:
Antonio Magarios. As in those beginnings
were not allowed to compete with the name
of the school, they decided to choose a
name related with what they were actually
doing, so they pick the name of: students.
Students planted a seed that was slowly
germinating.
In 1955 came the first title, the old Castilla
Championship, and in 1957 the Estu was
one of the founding teams of the first
National League. Since then, hes always
played in the top flight, achievement that
only shared with the basketball section of
Real Madrid and Joventut, but unfortunately
theyve dropped the ACB this year.
PHILOSOPHY.

FACTS ABOUT THE TRAINER.
Name: Ins Orselli.
Contact: 690112743. inesorselli0202@gmail.com
Studies: Magisterio (Primaria)
Experience: Training kids since she was 16 (now shes 23)
Training in the club for one year.
How she works with her group: She focus on training passes,
both hand dribble, lay-ups and easy shots. (This is because of
the philosophy of the team in this ages)
PLAYERS.
In this age and this level the players are clearly separated into 2 moods:
First Mood:
- There are the players who love the basketball. You can even feel it just watching how they play. In this
group we have:
Pelayo: For me, its the kid with more talent. Hes fast, shoots good and he loves the game, playing smiling
all the time, although hes a bit rascal. The trainer really thinks he can play in a high level.
Daro: Its the kid I liked the most. Dribbling is so good, while playing hes always focused, and hes also so
funny. Defending hes the best, making serious blocks while the game. He also shoots the basket very well.
Pablo: Hes a tall kid, so he has a little advantage. However, hes good making great lay-ups.
igo: Hes another tall kid in the group. He has to improve the left hand control, but he also loves what
hes doing and puts his 100%.
Mario: Hes a really fast kid. While the practices he didnt show it, but in the game he did some great plays.
He hardly ever shoots the ball when he can avoid it.
Dylan: Hes a kind kid, but his level of game is not the best. He has to improve the lefted lay-up because he
has serious troubles sometimes.
Csar: Hes a clever kid with a good ball-handling. He likes to shoot the basketball more than making lay-
ups.
 Second Mood.
- In this mood we have players who doesnt show that level of love for
the basketball. They dont play very well, so they need to improve.
Mateo: Hes a kind kid. Hes not totally concentrated while the
practice so he always do mistakes. Also he always apologizes.
Vctor and Miguel: These two are similar. They love to play games
and stu like these, but they are not into basketball. They need to
improve the dribbling and the lay-up.
Arnau: Hes a special kid. He doesn't feel like hes focused on what
hes doing, so many times he does things bad. He always regrets, but
he needs to improve the focus.
Nicols: He didnt appear to the practices that week.

2. Variation of tagging. Palomas y gavilanes

- Two players, the Gavilanes, are in the half of the court, without any ball, faced to
the rest of the team,Las Palomas whom are in one half-court, all with ball. They
would try to go to the another dribbling, while the Gavilanes try to catch them.
Once theyve touched them, they left the ball and became part of the team of
Gavilanes.

- Players, in pairs and with one ball for each of them, moves
around the court passing, dribbling and making lay-ups.
- Objetives: Practice dribbling, make good passes and a strong
lay-up.
My variations: I would prefer to divide time in type of passes
- Total Time: 4 and dribbles, variating as a trainer. Otherwise players keep
doing the same role of dribble and passing. For example:
-1 min normal.
-1 min With Right handed Bounce Pass and doing lay-ups with
the right hand.

left hand.
-1 min with a dribble size-up before passing. Finishing is free.
 4. Attacking the rim in pairs.
- There are two queues faced in the middle of the court. Each queue score in a
dierent basket. Two players are hitting passes between them, and when the
trainer say Now! the player who has the ball runs to his basket and try to make a
lay-up while the another player is defending him.

- Objetives: The trainer focused in intensity, motivating the players to run faster and
reward them when their able to make a strong lay-up. The trainer also correct if
they do a bad type of attack. The trainer also get serious if some of them shots the
ball.

- Variations: No variations included for this exercise.

- Total Time: 7
My variations:
I would include focusing in the lay-up steps, because some of the
players did travel a couple of times.
I alsod include rounds in which the players dont know where
theyre scoring, so the player who has the ball when the trainer say
now! chooses the basket and the defender pursues him.
I would change the type of passing in each round.

make a lay-up)

- Defense part: Now, the player who made the lay-up is going to run towards his
own basket, defending in adversity, now that the another 2 players are going to

gave me a good view of the youth team.

made the players to hold the ball with them knees while Im

As it was the previous practice after the game, it was focused
on dribbling, defending and now, the advantage situations.
The trainer remembered them the importance to be intense,
motivating them to the next match.
ANALYSIS OF THE TRANSFERENCE BETWEEN PRACTICE AND COMPETITION.

This is the first year that this team participates into

competitions, before they had only played in practices, so it
was like a journey for the trainer. Since the beginning of the
season she has been paying more attention in which se
thought it was the most important things. She started with
dribbling and 1vs1, focusing after on lay-ups and shoots,
finishing the season work with advantage situations.

MATCH. 38 EST - 34 BC.
The match was a highly intense one, although it was the last of all the year and it
wouldnt modificative any stats.
Estudiantes was winning the whole match with a little advantage.
Defense was so crucial in this game. Csar did three incredible blocks, and they
defend really good. Pelayo did a couple of good crossovers ending with great lay-ups.
The team played with passion and intensity, motivating each others.
The trainer also chase correctly the player who every one had to defend. The whole
team played very well, trying to keep the advantage. In the last minutes of the last
half, the players of the Buen Consejo started stealing a lot of passes and then making
the counter, reducing the lead to 2 points.
But the lasts possessions were crucial for the game and for the players of the
Estudiantes, with Csar being able to make a lead of 4 points before the game
finishes.
The trainer did a really good job motivating the players, showing her quality against
the another trainer, who didnt stop demotivating his players.
TEAM.
There are some really good players in this youth team. Pelayo,
Csar, igo and Pablo did play good basketball and you can
see it in the way theyre playing, always intense, willing to get
the bucket or to make a good pass, always smiling.
There are another players such as Arnau, Miguel, etc that they
have to improve and pay more attention while training, if not
their future in this club is questionable.
Also the Trainer really showed how good works done. She
always had the perfect energy in the trains and the players
really like and admire her.
