5 out of 5 stars Great Help For Parent Coaches   July 24, 2008
I had never coached before and was placed in the position of coaching my son's first grade basketball team at a local league. I was nervous not knowing what to do about coaching, not having ever taught or coached 5 or 6 year old boys. The book was extremely helpful in breaking down the fundamentals of basketball and helping with drills and basic concepts of basketball. Although we have only had about 5 practices so far, it's gone very smoothly because of the tips in this book. I highly recommend getting it to help set a basic foundation for new parent coaches who have no clue on what to do.br /br /The only area that may need help is what to teach kids regarding basic offensive strategy. But that will develop with age.


4 out of 5 stars Good book for the new coach   November 1, 2007

I was asked to coach my son's basketball team and I didn't know much about basketball. This book got me quickly started with the key fundamentals.


5 out of 5 stars Great Introductory Book   February 9, 2007
Covers basketball fundamentals and team coaching. Many great drills. Best suited for the younger teams - but a wonderful starting place for coaching youth basketball.


5 out of 5 stars Very good book for a beginner coach   January 15, 2007
It was my first time coaching basketball. I coached 1st graders. I coached because nobody else volunteered to do it. With that in mind this book was perfect. It has all the basics you need to understand the game and it provides planned practices according to players age. br /If you are ever in my situation with little knowledge of the game and forced to coach a kids team, I highly recommend this book.


4 out of 5 stars Good for beginning coaches of young children   December 15, 2006
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought 4 basketball coaching books for my husband when he signed up to coach our son's Kindergarten basketball team. He has never coached basketball before. This is the only book he wanted to keep. He uses it to come up with basic drills and general coaching tips. It's good. If you buy only one, I'd recommend this one.
