Are All Youth Basketball Plays Taught The Same?

By Faisal Naser

When it comes to Basketball Drills, it can take place at a wide variety of levels. At one level could be the peewee leagues for children too young for scholastic leagues. Another type could be the kids who play in the playground for fun. And, still another is those who play during school. Three sport athletes are usually the typical jocks. Fall brings football and basketball during the winter months with baseball and track taking over in spring. When this stage of playing begins, these children may no longer be children, and with may come an impression that lasts long after they leave school.

It is during these sporting events and seasons that life long friendships will be made and memories will be constant. Certain games will be the topic of many conversations and this will flow through the years for those who were involved in it.

With Basketball Plays, consider the fact that a child can be defined as anywhere up to high school; so, you would have children up to about 14 years old that need to be taught the fundamentals of the game.

Typically, children have short attention spans, which will cascade into everything they work on including sports. As a result, when working with this age of child, there needs to be a certain amount of tolerance given, allowing for the fun aspects of the sport to enter into the equation. Practices for children, should be considerably less strict than what you would expect from your average high school student team.

These youth want to simply shot the ball only and will not typically understand the reasons for certain types of drills. They will usually not work hard at getting their bodies into shape either and will not stretch properly unless given direct instruction.

But, these are the times when the typical athlete will begin to show in the child and will be the beginning of a potentially wonderful sporting career that may just continue throughout their later years. This will make them popular in school and may even catch the eye of and be the reason of the local high school coach's drool. Often local high school coaches will watch certain players and how they progress while waiting for their arrival into their programs. By that time, a potential coach will know what the player is capable of.

In any case, Basketball Coaching improves players that have made accomplishments and learned the game even if they began in the peewee league and not as the top player on the team. With that said, these children may have a lot more experience than a player that hasn't come up through the ranks. This could mean the difference between starting and bench warming because of their experience level.
