So how is it possible to train a small forward? There is no training that is specifically designated for SF's I beleive. Do I play that player at a different position in scrimmages?

If your training a SF a lot of the time your will have to play them at C or PG to get them the right training.

One more question, would it be more beneficial since the player is so young(18) to work on skills like Inside scoring, inside defense and Outside defense because I can single out certain positions? I notice skills like Jump shot don't allow to train one position which is disappoiting since this is a skill I wanted to work on.

Also, should I being playing him at C and PG all the time or just in scrimmages before training?

One more question, which is closely related with this conversation. From what you with @Booshay are talking I did understood that if I train only C's only those players who play at the C position during the games get the bennefit from practising ? Because until this conversation I though that those player whos position is C get the bennefit no matter in what position do they play during the game..
Could you please make it clear to me in which situation do the players actually improves ?

The proposed position of a player next to his name has no effect at all. It just gives you an idea where his strength may be.

If you train IS for Center for example, all players receive training that have played at the Center spot during the training week.

Its your choice whether you play him at scrimmages or league games. Just make sure he gets his 48 minutes or more at the position you want to train.

In my opinion it does make sense to work on skills for single position training first. This way you have to deal with only three trainees at most. Once they (or at least your main trainee) are strong enough you can switch to 2-pos-training.
I wouldn't recommend switching between center-training and PG-trainig, since some of your trainees are probably not future SFs. Also, your other players might end up playing out of position because their spot is taken by a trainee.

Only players which received minutes on trained position during the week will receive the training. So if you played your Shooting guard on C for 30 minutes and you are training Inside defense for C, your shooting guard will receive 30 minutes worth of training.

Most important thing with training is you have to ensure full 48 minutes to your trainee. Every lost minute lost, because 24 minutes of training does not equal 50% of 48 minutes, but much less (loss is progressive).

So if you want to make your Center better at outside defense, you have to switch to Pressure training for PG and give your C 48 minutes of playing time on PG spot in that week.
