It’s funny how competitive basketball got in 2nd grade Oklahoma

I was coaching my son and we started winning some and other coaches started scouting our team. So I started scouting them. Implemented specific plays to use against other teams. Kids can learn more than you think, we took 2nd place in the league and I proudly wore my byu gear the whole time.

Enjoy it’s pretty fun to coach those ages.

Yep. Use practice to demonstrate what they can do on their own if they want to get good. Repeat the exercises a lot

Shog is right. I have coached a lot of youth basketball and working on the most basic fundamentals gives way more

How many practices per week do you get? If it is only 1 or 2, you may get more

I love the 5-out motion offense and have taught it to a boys team as young as 5th grade and a girls 7th grade team.
