Basketball season is upon us. As a coach, here is a list of items that you may be thinking about during practices that can help players be more prepared and make the most of their development.
As a coach I want to know who can follow directions, learn a new skill, and execute the fundamentals of the game. Coaches can learn these things by putting the players through drills.
I also want to know who can play. Some kids look great in drills, but their skills don't translate to game situations. Players should be prepared to play their best in both drills and game settings.
