Getting Started Whether you are young or old playing basketball can be rewarding as well as good exercise. It can help promote team support and indvidual accomplishments too. Basketball is one sport that can boast it can be played year round indoors or outdoors. Some kids or adults feel intimidated to play for some of the craziest reasons. Here are a few: "I can't shoot or dribble", " My kid is not that good" and my favorite being older "I wont last running up and down the court."
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds."

Basic Drills We hear it all the time. Practice, practice, practice. Although basic fundementals are important, it doesn't have to be so robot like. I have researched many drills and found one to be very helpful. These drills can be used for the very young or older person. Please go to the Basic Drills page to view these videos.

Coaching Was it peer pressure? Did you volunteer? Would the kids not play if you didn't coach? I know exactly how you feel. Five days before basketball started I had to coach 1st and 2nd graders that I have never met. I'll tell you my story on the coaching page and some helpful hints.
"The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology." |
