BASKETBALL PROGRAM SPECIAL
YOUTH BASKETBALL COACHES,
So, you're coaching your son's or daughter's team this year and
you're looking forward to basketball season. You're hoping that your
players will learn and play to the best of their abilities, parents
will enjoy watching the action, and everyone will have fun. To make
the most of the coaching opportunity, it makes sense to you that you
need to have a plan — both an overall plan and individual plans for
each practice. You know that by just running a few drills and
scrimmaging the rest of the time, your team won't be ready.
The plan needs to address:
*
What to coach and when? You need to have a plan for what basketball
skills should be taught at the first practice and in the early going,
and what can wait until later practices.
*
Fundamentals. You need to coach strategies, tactics and skills that
players can carry with them to future teams — not intricate plays
that future teams may not run at all. Solid man-to-man defense, the
pick-and-roll, rebounding and give-and-go are skills that teams
execute at every level.
*
How to keep you players engaged throughout the course of a long
season and at every practice. How to balance repetition with variety
so that kids stay interested.
*
Preparing your team for different situations that come up in the
course of a game and season. What should players do when they face a
zone press? How to inbounds the ball from the sidelines to create a
scoring opportunity?
*
How to make the most of the 10 minutes before each practice when you
take the court. Here's your opportunity to get to know your players
better, pass on some valuable basketball knowledge, and teach some
life lessons that players will carry on with them long after their
days on the hardwood.
A plan will enable you to enjoy the season more fully as you won't be
panicking on practice day worrying about an agenda for the evening's
session. Parents of players and other coaches will notice that you
move through your practices with confidence. You're prepared. You're
organized. It shows. And, perhaps most importantly, your players
will be the primary beneficiaries. They'll learn a lot, play their
best ball and love basketball! We have the solution for you.

Get instant access to "THE WELL-PREPARED COACH — YOUTH BASKETBALL
COACHING PROGRAM." You'll receive a full-season's worth of practice
plans — 30 practices in all — complete with practice agendas,
drills and teaching points. Each practice session is set for 90
minutes of court time.
Pre-practice meeting outline
This 88 page e-book includes: pre-practice meeting agendas, practice
agendas, inbounds plays, sideline plays, simple offensive plays, where
to go for more ideas, fill in activities and drills, and off-season,
driveway workout, and more. See table of contents pages below.
CONTENTS
The Practice agendas include a minute-by-minute breakout of each
exercise along with the coaching points you should emphasize for
each. The practice plans typically include "Meat" and "Potatoes"
sessions for each practice. "Meat" sessions address basketball
basics like: man-to-man defense, team defense, rebounding, shooting
and more. "Potatoes" sessions include: power lay-ups, moving
without the ball, free throw shooting, post offense and more. The
appendices include diagrams and graphics to enable you to quickly
grasp and explain coaching concepts.
HOW TO USE THE PRACTICE PLANS. Print the pre-practice plan on one side
of an 8.5 x 11 sheet and the practice plan on the flip side. Either
attach the one sheet to a coaching clipboard or fold it and put it in
your pocket. It's advised to review each agenda before the practice,
but if you're running late, you can just grab the sheet and the bag of
basketball and be on your way. You'll be ready to go. Here's an
example of a sideline play diagram.
The Well-Prepared Coach strongly recommends that coaches meet with
their players for usually about 10 minutes before court time. The
pre-practice meeting has many benefits. First of all, it usually
ensures that player are dressed and ready to go when court time is
available. It's also the time for a coach to get to know the players
better. It gives players some time talk a bit and ask questions.
Coaches can cover important basketball topics, team news and updates
and prepare players for what's going to happen at practice. The
extra time provides the coach the opportunity to pass on some
important life lessons: the value of hard work, the importance of
sportsmanship and the power and magic of teamwork. To make it easier
for you to implement pre-practice meetings, 30 pre-practice agendas,
with talking points, are also included.
So, Here's What You Get:
• 30, ninety‐minute practice plans for 4th – 8th grade teams.
Exercises, explanations and teaching points.
• 30 agendas and talking points for pre‐court-time meetings.
Don’t miss your opportunity to really get to know your players and
cover important topics.
• A “Driveway Workout” for your players’ off‐season efforts.
• Proven inbounds plays and sideline plays.
• “The Special Play” — This play results in a surprising
number of open lay‐ups in games. In fact, this one play accounted
for more than 1/2 of our points in several games! When you have to
have a basket at a key point in the game, here's the ticket.

4TH-8TH GRADE BASKETBALL TEAM
A $19.99 Value. A Guide For Volunteer Basketball Coaches —
Especially Those Coaching Girls In 4th – 8th Grades — Provides An
Easy To Follow Approach To Coaching And Managing Your Team.
O’Halloran’s “Never Forget They’re Kids” philosophy places
an emphasis on learning, having fun and creating memorable experiences
for players.
The book covers important fundamental basketball topics like defensive
and offensive skills, rebounding know-how, shooting technique
(including the 2 most common shooting flaws for this age group and how
to address them), your coaching approach on the bench and practice
preparation. For young basketball players, it’s not all about X’s
and O’s.
What sets this apart from other basketball coaching books are topics
like:
· 30 ideas to keep kids interested in basketball — From a
“Rock n’ Roll” practice to a “Slam Dunk Photo Session,”
you’ll learn some proven concepts to keep your players engaged
during the season. Kids will look forward to practices as much as
games.
· A detailed explanation of how to handle your first player
meeting and your first parent meeting. A sample introductory email
to parents is included.
· An inexpensive and simple way to create a team website and
how to use your camcorder to make the most of the basketball season.
· Team nickname ideas and slogan suggestions like
“There’s no traffic on the extra mile” and “Teamwork makes the
Dream work.”
_ _ NOTE: Except for a couple of practice ideas that might not
appeal to boys, e.g. "Wacky Hair Day," the entire book is relevant for
boys teams in 4th - 8th grades.

What people are saying about Never Forget They're Kids_ _
"This is a great book in a lot of ways, the least of which is the
basketball stuff, which is pretty helpful by the way and very
appropriate for the age level of youth athletes the author is writing
about. The best part of this book is the advice the author gives
concerning dealing with the parents of the players.
I wish I had a copy of this book when I started coaching all too many
years ago. This section of the book alone makes it worth the purchase
price to me. _ _ _It also has good information on organization for a
youth sports team as well as positive suggestions for a philosophical
approach to coaching young athletes."_
-Kevin Sivils - author of Game Strategy and Tactics for Basketball
