So You Want to Learn About Basketball.
Or was this what you just
heard from your son or daughter,”Hey mom, hey dad,
Taylor (your child’s best friend) is going out
for basketball at school (rec. center, YMCA,
etc.) can I go out for
basketball too?” Welcome to youth
basketball.
Perhaps it was, “Mr.
Johnson, Mrs. Johnson, since Billy or Sally is playing
basketball how about coaching their team? We need people
to coach to run the teams?” Welcome to the world of
coaching
basketball.
So where do you
start? And
what do you need to know?
If you really want
to learn the game of basketball, then do yourself a
favor.
Start from the
basics of basketball and build from
there.
- Learn about the
basketball
game; how, where,
why, what and who?
- If you’re
coaching, then start with basketball drills
that will teach your
players the necessary skills to play on the
court.
- As they gain
experience in skills, introduce them to some
basketball plays
they can use in the
game.
- Research and read
on line and off line about playing
basketball.
- Go to school. Many
organizations like the local y, boys & girls club,
local recreation center all offer clinics and
workshops on all aspects of
basketball.
Whatever you choose
to pursue, learn the game of basketball and keep
learning.
Lace up your sneakers and play the game with your
kids or your buddies after work. Take your kids
to some college basketball games and watch the players
and the coaches.
You can get lots of great drills ideas from
getting there early to see the teams warm
up.
Basketball is a
great sport.
If you can remember to learn the game, play the
game, and have a lot of fun doing it, you will always
love the game of basketball. Who knows, maybe it will be
your son or daughter who ends up being a fantasy
basketball pick someday.
