When they open the school I proceed to the following classes: civics, science, English, Math, lunch, Latin then gym. After those classes I went and got ready for my workouts. In workouts I stretched, did two ball dribbling drills, defensive slides, jab step shot, v-cut one dribble 3, then we worked on some post moves. The last two things we did where 3 on 3 and 10 in 1’s.
