The Well-Prepared Coach — 30 Youth Basketball Practice Plans

This book will provide youth basketball coaches a roadmap — with thorough directions — on how to conduct a season’s worth of basketball practices. Be prepared to teach your players not only individual and team basketball skills, but also some important life lessons: the value of hard work, the importance of sportsmanship and the power and magic of teamwork. Perfect for 4th – 8th grade basketball teams, both boys and girls. Includes: • 30, ninety-minute practice plans. Exercises, explanations and teaching points. 30 agendas and talking points for pre-court time meetings. • A “Driveway Workout” for your players’ off-season efforts. • “The Special Play” — a simple play that results in a surprising number of open lay-ups in games. Your players will be prepared for the first game and engaged throughout the season. Make the best use of your time together.
