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.

  • Officiating and Ball Handling Lesson Plan
    Officiating and Ball Handling Lesson Objectives: The purpose of this lesson plan is to be able to understand the rules and regulations of basketball, hand signals and terms of officiating and a wide variety of different ball handling skills. Time: 45 minutes Equipment needed: Basketballs and basketball hoops, computer, overhead projector Classroom: Start off with video on rules and regulations. Then go over the signals for traveling, carrying or palming, double dribble, jump ball, goaltending, over and back, and time restrictions (10 seconds to cross half-court, 5 seconds to get rid of ball when you pick up your dribble or defenders within arm’s length of you, 3 seconds in key area). Then go into different fouls that can be committed. These would include personal fouls which are considered as any physical contact such as hitting, pushing, slapping, holding, and an illegal pick and screen. Other fouls can be committed when a person is shooting, if they don’t make the shot, they get 2 free-throw shots, if they make the shot, then they get one free-throw shot, but if its in the 3 point range, then they get three if they miss. The team is allowed 7 fouls per half, after that the other team goes into to bonus, which is one- and-one, once they get passed 10 fouls, they are in double bonus and they get 2 free-throws for any foul committed. Some violations are charging, which is an offensive foul when the offense runs into the defensive player while their feet are set.
