During practice when you are running your opponent's offense and reviewing individual players' tendencies, keep it simple...
Green Jersey = shooter
Red Jersey = driver
White Jersey = all-around
This is a simple trick that can have a great effect. It can be a challenge to explain to your team that Susie is your opponent's #23 and she is a left handed kid who always takes the ball off the bounce (even though Susie is right handed and her strength is shooting from the outside). Then, during the defense of your opponen't offense, your players forget who Susie is supposed to be and therefore do not guard her properly.
This makes a great transition to the game- you can simply ask your kids: what color is #23?
