Coach Q.

I just finished working a program just like that. It turned into alot more than we planned. We had 8 girls make varsity by sophmore year at 2 public schools (1 got full ride to basketball high school in our area). My daughter being one of those players.

All fundamentals. Email me and I can give you some ideas. The first couple of years are the key to the long term success.


I currently coach High School Boy's and would love to see more teaching going on on both boy's and girls side.

If you could I would like to learn how you went about creating the feeder program.
We are in our first year and have average players.
Thanks

In our boy's program, it begins with continuity. Teaching the same things using similar drills. We wrote a drill book for our middle school coaches. It details all of our concepts that we exect to be taught and at what grade they are introduced.

We have a "system" if you will. We want certain fundamentals and specific offensive concepts to be intrduced in a specific time frame. This way as they get to High School, they have a base knowledge and skill set.

JV for us is about player development. We will always have a couple of kids that could make varsity (fresh or soph) that we hold back to JV. They will play a lot of minutes on JV to develop confidence and leadership. Winning is not important in theat JV environment although we want to compete, and improve at this level.

Email me direct if you want more information.
