|
“Lay-up”, "Free throw" & Jump shot competitions
|
|
|
|
|

|
5)
|
NO Free throws for 1st 4 weeks of games, as it takes too long to set players up
|
|
*If a player is fouling, coaches can take time to explain & the ball is taken out at side court
|
|
*after week 4, coaches can choose to set up & shoot free throws if they feel teams are ready
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
EQUAL playing time for ALL players! Every player must be substituted fairly
|
|
*Main goals for this young age is player development, confidence & learning the FUN-damentals!
|
|
*Rotate players at point guard during game so all players get a chance to dribble the ball up the court
