Teaching Youth Basketball

For starters, the most important lesson of using the weak hand dribbling for the classroom. Teach them to shoot with the other hand, especially shooting the lay-or other finishing shots will with age and experience.

In education the main concern will drip technician to ensure that if a player is dribbling, everywhere on the floor that has the player with the ball, his body between the ball and the defender. This requires ball with his left hand while moving to the left, attacking dribbling with his right hand when it moves to the right of the attacker is.

After you pass the time necessary to ensure that every child can dribble with both hands, hopefully, without having to go on the ball, then we have to start moving around the floor with the ball to change hands. At first the concept of ball with his hand away from a defender, children go through chairs or cones after boat hand on a chair or cone.

When it comes time to start teaching the shots, I think most coaches would agree with me that will begin shooting by the doctrine of lay-up/lay-in. The lay-up is the easiest shot in basketball. For States not received from Birmingham, is the highest percentage of shots possible.

Able for the beginner, even this seemingly simple shot initially be daunting. This may be the first time that a child had a co-hand coordination with the other leg of the matter. It is different from a child throwing a ball with the same foot forward as the hand throw with. Not effective. The same applies to the laity, on the opposite side is dull compared to walking or running process. Therefore, I have a simple technique for the children began to think of this dribble hand / foot, without a relationship.

First, the players and go through the motion of the recording without the ball with your dominant hand, while the other leg and increase the side foot shot from the floor. Do this a few times. Now they have started firing at the bottom of this page, step on the other leg and lift into the air while going through the filming of motion. Again, this several times.

Now I am facing the basket to keep the ball, so the shooter can hold hands with the dominant hand to shoot. If the right hand, the player must take the ball from his hand and go in his left foot, then pull the back wall, which we put in the basket. In the beginning you start with the right foot, step left to take the ball as it left the floor. To the left are going with the right foot and with the same procedure.

After some success with it, then allowing several steps and did not take the hand. If I have the feeling that the connection made well enough in his hands and feet, let them dribble and shoot. The next step is to dodge them in order to allow each basket in the gym and shoot hoops.

As players in their skills they need to come to understand that being able to shoot lay-ups effectively left and right should be. If travel is convenient to shopping on the left side of the plant, including a sitting area with his right hand, which are blocked shot.
