Are you are interested in learning more about coaching? If so, contact me to obtain a report on a simple and easy system on how to set up group coaching programs for youth. Team cheer Speak with participants before they leave. There are several administrative tasks that are necessary during the first two lessons in order to get the program off on the right track and running smoothly. We suggest that you follow these first two lessons closely.
Greet parents and players as they arrive Allow supervised free play Blow the whistle Instruct the players to put the balls away Call the players in and have them sit with parents Wait for quiet Take attendance. After taking attendance, address the players and their parents, covering the following: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Welcome everyone to the program and introduce coaching staff.
Outline the programs philosophy, mission, goals and core values. Outline how each session will work. Reiterate that the program can always use more volunteers. Explain the procedure when players arrive for future sessions Arrive Change into uniform When whistle blows: 1st Put balls away; 2nd Come in to center court and sit down quietly Answer any questions the parents may have.
Once you have finished your introduction to the group: 1 2 3 4 5 Have the parents move to the area where they can sit during the session. Put the players into a teaching formation. Explain the commands you will use when addressing the children i.
Begin the lesson. Repeat multiple times, having players act like a different animal each time Examples: kangaroo, frog, snake, gorilla, bear, t-rex, etc. Lesson 1 - Overview Introduce the life skill and fundamental skill while the players stretch. Fundamental Skill: running, ball awareness, throwing and catching, shooting Goal: Brief introduction of four fundamental basketball skills.
Don't be concerned with proper execution during this first session; be more concerned with having the players experiment with each skill. You will teach the proper breakdown of the fundamental skill in each of the future lessons.
Activity: Introduce each skill to the group as a whole and then break into smaller groups to execute the activities. Players spread out around the gym but must stand on a line. One player is chosen as the PAC man. Pac man moves along the lines trying to tag another player. Once a player is tagged, that player is now the PAC man.
You cannot retag the old PAC man. Vary the type of movement the children use: walking, sliding, skipping, high knees, hopping, etc. Players in scatter formation with ball Allow players to get a feel for the ball by holding it in their hands and moving it around different parts of their bodies neck, waist, legs, etc.
Have the players put two hands on the ball and swing it from side to side; low to high or high to low. Players in scatter formation with ball standing behind a line on the court. Start in a grizzly bear stance with the ball. Have the players toss the ball into the air and attempt to catch it. Next have the players clap and catch the ball. Make it a personal challenge How many claps can you make and still catch the ball Instruct them to toss it high, low, off a bounce, emphasizing to keep your eyes on the ball.
Have the player toss the ball so it goes up in the air and bounces once before it reaches the next line About 3m away. After tossing the ball, the player runs and catches the ball. Assume a grizzly stance once you catch the ball. Perform a squat It is important that the player sit in a chair. Place ten fingers on the ball. Raise the ball to the forehead at the same time pushing with the legs.
The player should be able to look under the ball to see the target at release. This is to teach the proper activation of the shooting muscles. Note: This should happen in a continuous motion. The player may sight the target by looking over the ball, but at the release you should encourage them to be looking under the ball. Power comes from the legs, finesse from the upper body.
The target does not always have to be a basket. Give the players different objects to shoot at varying heights. We want the players to discover that finesse not power is needed to shoot a basketball. Power comes from legs. Wrap Up: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Call players in, sit in semicircle, wait for quiet.
Show players how to sit with ball crossed legged, hands on knees, ball resting in lap. Bring the parents into the group or speak loud enough so parents can hear. Remind parents of next session, explain importance of attending and being on time. Explain that in normal sessions, a skill will be taught and activities will be played. Explain each player keeps the ball they are holding, and parents must label ball with players name, players must bring ball to each session End on a positive note cheer , dismiss group.
Have players divided into teams before the session. No balls will be needed for the activities in this session. Greet parents and players as they arrive Blow the whistle and put players in teaching formation Take attendance Review previous weeks lesson. Player begins in ready position and moves forward Body lowers, two feet land simultaneously, slightly staggered Body lowers, knees bend, arms balance Body in ready position Player begins in ready position and moves forward Body lowers, feet land one foot after the other, slightly staggered First foot to contact floor becomes pivot foot Body lowers, knees bend, arms balance Body in ready position.
Players in scatter formation Players run on spot On whistle, players execute a two foot one beat jump stop Repeat with: Faster run on the spot Quieter jump stop. Keep the drill short and vary the signals to keep players alert. Wrap Up: 1 2 3 Review the fundamental skill and life skill Make any announcements Coaches give out uniforms to players End on a positive note cheer , dismiss group. Throw ball into air with two hands Extend hands above the head where ball will land Receive ball with two hands Cushion ball on reception and bring it in tight to body at chest or waist level.
Players in scatter formation with ball On whistle, toss ball into the air and receive it Repeat, giving specific directions on how to toss ball Use different ways to toss ball high, low, close, far etc. Allow players to experiment after following instructions. Players in scatter formation with ball Coaches demonstrate ball familiarization progression, players imitate Try all of the ball familiarization skills.
The group spreads out along the respective baselines; each player has a ball The first player must dribble to the pylon and perform a ball handling action i. Introduce and Play Modified Game: 1 2 3 On whistle, balls away, players sit quietly Coach calls out teams, players go to coach, set up game Play the game.
Wrap Up: 1 2 3 Review the fundamental skill and life skill Make any announcements End on a positive note cheer , dismiss group. Before the Players Arrive 1 2 3 4 5 Arrive 15 min early Set up the equipment balls, baskets Perform a facility safety check Organize your teaching materials Have a coaches meting to review the days lesson 1 2 3 4 5 After the Players Arrive Allow supervised free play.
Make sure that all players have the opportunity to lead the group if you have a fairly large group, make two groups to play follow the leader Lesson 4 - Overview Introduce the life skill and fundamental skill of the day while the players stretch Life Skill: Confidence See Coaches Manual Chapter 9. Start with knees bent and feet shoulder width apart Head up and eyes forward Feet staggered with one foot slightly ahead of the other Ball dribbled with dribble hand slightly ahead of back foot Push ball to floor using fingertips, not palm Elbow bent, wrist follows through As ball returns to hand, repeat the pushing motion Protect the ball by keeping the non dribbling hand extended forward, elbow flexed and arm across body between the ball and defensive player Activity:.
At your local sports or dollar store, you can get the smaller circular cones, with a hole in the middle. Place them randomly in a large circle s , half looking like Volcanoes and the other flipped on the top small hole for Valleys. Each player while dribbling a basketball goes and stands over a Volcano or Valley.
When coach says go, as fast as you can, Volcano players go and flip over the Valleys and the Valley players flip over Volcanos. When coach says stop, see who has the most Valleys or Volcanos. Divide the group into two separate teams One forms a circle that on command can join hands this group is the mouse trap The other players, the mice, each have a ball and are dribbling outside the circle The coach tells the players the mouse trap is now open The players freely dribble in and out of the circle When they enter the circle, they cannot exit through an adjacent spot When the coach give the visual signal for the mousetrap to close, the players in the circle join hands trapping any dribblers inside.
Keep score of how many players mice were trapped. Put players in evenly balanced lines on the baseline with one ball per group. Opposite each line, put a hula hoop at centre court. When coach says go, first player dribbles to hula-hoop, puts ball down, swings hula-hoop around their hips shake it 5 times, drops the hula-hoop, grabs the ball and dribbles to the end hoop and takes one shot. They then dribble back and pass from a certain point to the next person in line.
Everyone goes until all finished and winning team goes crazy! Place four pylons in a rectangle to form a track you decide the size of the race track. Place the players on two teams. It is best to have them wear different colors for ease of identification. Each player has a ball. On the signal to start, everyone on both teams starts to dribble around the track in the pre-determined direction. The object is to pass players of the opposing team.
All players with a basketball. Put better ball handlers in centre circle. Others evenly divided in each key area Sheeps Pen. When the coach hollers, The Wolves are away, the sheep can come out of their pens and dribble around the outside of the gym.
When the coach hollers, The Wolves are home, the wolves can dribble out of the centre circle and try and tag a sheep, while dribbling. If they tag any sheep before they get back in either pen, they become wolves for the next hunt. Players line up with a partner on either side of a line.
The players are designated Crows or Cranes. When the coach calls out the word crows, all of those players must dribble to a safety area before the cranes can tag them. Have another line a short distance away as the safety area. The player inside the hoop protects the bean bags.
The player outside the hoop visits the other hoops and attempts to steal the beanbags. The coach can also call switch forcing the players to switch positions. The players partner up with a teammate. They place a ball on their backs and must keep it there with pressure. Each player also has a ball that they dribble. At first, let them practice moving about, working together. When the tag game starts, one pair is given pool noodles.
They are moving about trying to tag the other pairs. If tagged with the noodle, that pair now becomes it. No re-tags allowed. Active Warm Up Activity: The children spread out around the gym.
There should be one spot markers or put pylons in the corners of the badminton lines. The players move randomly around the court doing a specified movement: running, skipping, sliding, hopping. When the music stops, the players must find a hoop by putting a foot inside the hoop. Once inside the hoop the players dare given a fundamental movement to do: balance on one foot move your arms, move your head up and down, side to side squat, lunge, twisting, tracking, ball handling.
Repeat a number of times. Start in triple threat position, identify target, call name of receiver Hold ball close to chest with two hands Fingers point to target, keep elbows close to sides, take one step towards receiver Extend arms forward at chest level, snap wrists Follow through so palms face outward and thumbs point to floor Receiver gives a target hand Hands move to a position to receive ball, fingers pointing upwards with hands close together Eyes trace flight of ball, see ball into hands Hands cushion ball on reception, bringing ball in towards body Player gets into triple threat position on completion of reception.
Players in groups of 4, one ball per group Players in square formation, 4 feet apart Players chest pass ball around square On whistle, players change direction of passes. Players in groups of 4 in square formation Two players inside the square are defense and their goal is to get the basketball The other players must pass the ball around to try and keep the ball away from the defense There is no dribbling allowed If defense intercepts the ball, defense becomes offense and player who made the pass goes on defense.
Spread out players under a hoop with one basketball. The player with ball passes to someone and moves forward to an open spot. Whomever the ball was passed to needs to concentrate and catch the ball without it hitting the floor crocodiles are waiting. They then pas to a different person and moves forward. Keep passing until everyone catches it at least once; get close to the other basket, and then someone shoots. As that group reaches half way up the court, get another group of players moving.
The objective is to have the players be able to pass and move. The first action is to pass to the side. On the return, the object is to run ahead and in front of the ball to receive the pass. You are just introducing the concept, so have the children go slow and stay close together.
You will have to assist them on the timing of when to moce. You can have them score at the basket. Every player has a basketball. They pretend they are cars. When the car is shut off, the ball is held in the hands. When the car starts, they begin to dribble on the spot the engine is running. They back the car up by dribbling backward. Be sure to check to see if the street is clear! Have them dribble around the court.
You can use designated lines on the floor. When you call Red Light, have them stop; Green Light, go! When they come to a stop sign, they stop, check both ways and continue on their own. Have them park the car and stop the engine practice some of the ball handling skills Move the ball around the body, toss and catch, bending, twisting. Use spot markers or pylons. The players take turns shooting from each spot. The basket or target should be at an appropriate height; the distance should also reflect their abilities.
The players partner up with one ball per pair. One player throws the dice. The first pair to score the exact score shown on the dice wins. For example: 1 a foul shot 2 two foul shots or one field goal 3 three foul shots, one foul shot and a field goal The players must work together and learn to play to their strengths. You must decide how many attempts they get before they must return to centre. They must alternate turns. Set up six shooting stations in the form of a golf course, with a station at each basket.
Prepare scorecards similar to a golf scorecard, with a square for each of the team members and each of the six holes baskets. A brief description and par for each hole should be listed. Divide your class evenly into six teams, and send one team to each of the six stations. Explain that they will be playing a shooting game similar to golf and that there are signs at each basket explaining what to do. Each player will record his or her score following each basket. Remind the players that the lower the score, the better.
Players are encourage to keep track of their best score and try to do better each time. Players spread out on court, each with a ball Coach gives a direction to players such as dribble with your left hand Players are only to follow directions if coach says Simon says before giving the instruction If coach does not say Simon says, players must continue the last direction Players who follow the instructions when the coach does not say Simon says are eliminated Repeat several times.
Spread players along sideline in triple threat position without ball Players have one foot in front of line, other foot behind line Coach says Pivot! Players in partners, one ball per pair Partners stand 6 feet apart Chest pass the ball, players catch the ball, pivot around and pass back to partner Each player makes 10 pivot and passes Repeat with a bounce pass.
The ball cannot be dribbled, by a player, over the centre line. It must be passed. This forces the ball handler to push the ball with the pass. It also forces the players down the floor to cut back for a pressure release. Skills required: Eyes up with dribbling Cutting back to the ball Moving without the ball Utilizing pivots to get better passing angles.
Feet shoulder width apart, in balanced stance Shooting foot ahead of non-shooting foot in heel-toe relationship Weight on balls of feet Knees bent, butt down, back straight Chin over shooting foot. Players in scatter formation, each with a ball Players jog around court On whistle, players jump stop into triple threat position Coaches move through group and test players for balance gentle push on shoulders Repeat several times using different types of movement hopping, sliding, running backwards etc.
Players in partners, spread out on the court, each with a ball Players will toss the ball to themselves and get into triple threat position once they catch the ball Coach will say jab step, dribble, or shoot For jab step, players will jab step right or left For dribble, players will take one dribble right or left and then pick up the ball For shoot, players will shoot the ball in the air.
Form a small diamond with four pylons. You want them close enough that the player in the middle can deflect the passes. One player has a ball and the other two players are at the pylon closest to the player with ball The player in the middle is attempting to steal or deflect the pass.
