Youth Basketball Practice Plans

Well-prepared basketball practice plans are the key to organized, effective team workouts. Even if you have little experience and don't know how to coach basketball, they can help you look like a pro!

Volunteered to coach your child's hoops team but don't have a clue what to do when they all show up for practice?

Don't panic!

One of the hardest parts of coaching a youth basketball team is deciding WHAT to teach, knowing HOW to teach it, and figuring out WHERE to begin.

It can all become quite overwhelming, especially if you don't feel very confident in your coaching ability!

Want to guarantee a fun and rewarding experience for both the players and coaches?

The secret is well-organized practices planned out ahead of time.

Youth basketball teams don't get a whole lot of opportunity to practice, so it's important to get the most out of every minute on the floor.

Let's be honest...

A lot of well-meaning parents and volunteers with little knowledge of how to coach basketball often find themselves in charge. These brave folks step up because their kids need a coach!

They often don't have the background or the time it takes to plan practice sessions that cover the basic fundamental skills, include fun basketball practice drills and games, and prepare teams for the various game situations that will come up.

The good news is help is available!

There's no need to flounder around on your own! Take advantage of the expertise and "know-how" of a proven and successful youth basketball coach.

Let me recommend a resource to you that I think will be a tremendous help. It's called The Well-Prepared Coach: Youth Basketball Practice Plans. It includes 30 youth basketball practice plans that will take away all of the stress of planning and figuring out what all you need to cover.

This is plenty to get you through an entire season!

With some very well-organized, easy-to-follow, ready-made practice plans, you'll be able to enter each practice with total confidence. You'll be prepared to lead your young players through drills and activities that will prepare them for their season and help them improve their individual skills.

One of the things I like about The Well-Prepared Coach is it doesn't try to do too much.

It's easy to over-coach and throw more information at your team than they can handle. This set of youth basketball workout plans does a great job of making sure the fundamental skills are covered as well as a few basic offensive and defensive sets, inbounds plays, and special plays that will get you through your games.

I also love how each of the workout plans is broken down into time segments. Time management for a coach is HUGE! By keeping practice flowing from one activity to the next, players will stay interested, and you'll be able to cover a lot of great basketball practice drills and concepts.

So, do yourself and your youngsters a huge favor. Let The Well-Prepared Coach help you have a great season!
