I had always set short-term << Hornets Owner goals. As I look back, each one of the steps or successes led to Michael Jordan the next one. When I got cut from the varsity team as a in 2014 sophomore in high school, I learned something. I knew I never wanted to feel that bad again, so I set a goal of becoming a starter on the varsity. That’s what I focused on all summer. When I worked on my game, that’s what I thought about. When it happened, I set another goal, a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough. I guess I approached it with the end in mind. I knew exactly where I wanted to go, and I focused on getting there. As I reached those goals, they built on one another. I gained a little confidence every time I came through. TAKE SMALL STEPS << Jordan with the If your goal is to become a doctor and you’re getting C’s Chicago Bulls in biology, then the first thing you have to do is get B’s in in 1989 biology and then A’s. You have to perfect the first step and then move on to chemistry or physics. Take those small steps. Otherwise you’re opening yourself up to all kinds of frustration. Where would your confidence come from if the only measure of success was becoming a doctor? If you tried as hard as you could and didn’t become a doctor, would that mean your whole life was a failure? Of course not. PIECES OF A PUZZLE All those steps are like pieces of a puzzle. They all come together to form a picture. Not everyone is going to be the greatest, but you can still be considered a success. Step by step, I can’t see any other way of accomplishing anything. MICHAEL JORDAN NBA Legend and Owner of the Charlotte Hornets JUNIOR HORNETS COACHES MANUAL 3 COACH’S CREED RESPECT THE GOLDEN RULE Treat your players, their parents and officials in the same manner you want to be treated. That means no yelling, no sarcasm and no embarrassing anyone in front of others. To gain respect, you must give respect. BE EVERYONE’S COACH As the saying goes, “there is no I in TEAM.” Let everyone contribute. That goes for your own kids, too. If you coach your own child, be sure not to shine the light too bright or too low on them. Treat everyone the same. FOCUS ON THE FUNDAMENTALS Help your players master the basketball basics. Wins and losses come and go, but you only get one chance to develop a player’s skills. Don’t waste that opportunity. And remind your players that hustle is also a fundamental skill. TEACH AND ENFORCE GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP Spend time at practice and before games explaining to your team how to behave after a win or loss. Good sportsmanship means no trash talking or taunting. Teach your players to develop a positive relationship with the officials. Have the courage to enforce sportsmanship if one of your players misbehaves. That’s the key. UNDERSTAND THE RULES OF THE GAME Read the rulebook. Identify any special policies your league has adopted. You can’t expect your players to know the rules if you do not. HAVE A POSITIVE RAPPORT WITH OFFICIALS Officials will not respond positively if you try to bully or intimidate them. Instead, act like an adult. Ask questions if necessary. Seek clarification if it’s warranted. Set the right tone for your team by never arguing a call or disparaging an official. PROMOTING FUN Avoid getting too serious. Don’t get crazy about winning. Make sure you smile. Above all else, make sure the kids are having fun. If they aren’t, then you are doing something wrong. BE PATIENT Young players are going to miss shots. They’re going to make crucial turnovers. They’re going to commit needless fouls. They need the freedom to make mistakes. It’s your job to help them learn from those mistakes. That takes time and patience. TALK TO PARENTS AND UNDERSTAND THEIR GOALS From the first practice, talk with the parents. Explain your coaching philosophy. If a parent has a particular concern, give them the opportunity to discuss it with you. Parents come to games to see their kids play. Make sure every player has the opportunity to make a contribution. JUNIOR HORNETS COACHES MANUAL 4 GETTING READY TO COACH The first step is to learn the individual rules and policies of your league. While that may sound fairly simple, you have to understand that for many youth leagues the rules are tailored to the age of the player. There might be specific rules regarding playing time and the kinds of defenses that can be played. As the coach, it is essential that you attend the preseason organizational meetings and that you read and understand league rules. (Be sure that your assistant coaches understand the rules as well.) Speaking of assistant coaches, understand that they will be invaluable as the season wears on. In addition to helping you orchestrate practice sessions and plot out game strategies, they can serve as a sounding board for you and the players. Many times kids — and occasionally their parents — will approach an assistant coach first with a problem or a concern. That’s fine, just be sure you and your assistants have an open line of communication. As the coach, you never want to be the last one to know about a problem with one of your players. COACH’S TIP DEALING WITH OFFICIALS As a coach, you have to remember that in any game involving human judgment, there are going to be errors and mistakes. Occasionally officials will be involved in a close, controversial call. If you erupt from the bench and throw a tantrum, understand that you’re not only sending a message of poor sportsmanship to the officials, but you’re also reinforcing exactly the type of behavior you want your players not to << Hornets Head Coach Steve Clifford MUST-HAVES CLIPBOARD Whether you are diagramming drills during practice or instructing positioning during a game, a dry erase clipboard is a popular and useful tool. WHISTLE Use it. Don’t abuse it. Your whistle can be a very effective tool for moving practice along, but excessive use might diminish its effect. JUNIOR HORNETS COACHES MANUAL 5 GETTING READY TO COACH Your team also might have a parent who volunteers to make phone calls about schedule changes and directions to games, who organizes the drinks for halftime, plans the end-of-the-season party and so forth. Such a volunteer will save you countless hours of additional work so you can concentrate on coaching. The most important team meeting of the season should take place before the very first practice. Make certain you let the parents know that this meeting is mandatory. If a parent cannot attend the meeting, make sure you spend time on the phone together prior to the first practice. Use this session to introduce yourself, the coaching staff and parent volunteers to the rest of the moms and dads. Prepare and hand out a sheet with telephone numbers and detail any unique league rules that will affect the team and

Like many rookie and veteran coaches, you probably have had little formal instruction on how to coach. But when the call went out for coaches to assist with the local youth basketball program, you answered because you like children and enjoy basketball, and perhaps because you wanted to be involved in a worthwhile community activity. Your initial coaching assignment may be difficult. Like many volunteers, you may not know everything there is to know about basketball or about how to work with children. Coaching Youth Basketball will help you learn the basics of coaching basketball effectively. To start, let's take a look at what's involved in being a coach.

  • 2Nd Grade Practice Game Concepts and Drills
    2nd Grade Practice Game Concepts and Drills You should be cycling through these various game concepts and drills at every practice. Through repetition and consistency, the kids will learn how to play the game of basketball, properly shoot the ball, shoot a lay-up, pass, and dribble. At this age, they don’t need much variety. Keep things simple and repetitive, so they can build good habits. Refer to the Basketball Skills Progression Document to see the correct form on dribbling, passing, shooting, lay-ups, footwork, and game concepts. Pick one drill from each of the following categories for each practice: • Game Concepts/Scrimmaging • Passing • Dribbling • Lay-ups If there’s time, there are other drills that you can do, listed at the bottom. Dribbling, lay-ups, passing, and some kind of scrimmage or game play should be all done at every practice. Game Concepts Yes, this seems very basic, but we are laying the groundwork for these kids becoming good basketball players. There is no sense in teaching them about any fundamentals if they don’t understand how the game works at a basic level. You may need to take a few minutes at each practice to remind the kids about basketball game concepts. • OFFENSIVE CONCEPTS o At this level on offense, we really want the kids to learn: ! Quick passes ! Go directly to the lane with your dribble. ! Don’t force a shot if it isn’t there. ! Try to work the ball around and get a shot in and around the lane. ! Minimize the fast breaks and focus on running a disciplined offense.
