Learning Basketball
How does it work? The coach has a practice once a week, and a game a week through the winter months. The idea is to develop basketball skills, bounce passing, dribbling and looking up the floor at the same time, learning simple offensive plays, learning defense, teaching the kids to spread out and not clump together around the ball. Basicly, get the kids ready for next year and the next skill level in their move up the ladder towards varsity sports.
What to be avoided at all costs is, to have our ball players reach the varsity level without the basic skills necessary to be successful.
