NEW Youth Basketball DVD - Learn The Proper Skills, Drills, Progressions, & Coaching Style To Use With Youth Players

This DVD is GREAT! I will be using Coach Bigelow's drills and philosophy with my 9-10 year old players I am currently coaching. Thanks also to Breakthrough Basketball for all the good insights on how to coach youth basketball.

Great video. Nicely put together. Gives really well thought out tips and ideas for workig with this age group. Gets back to the fundamentals. Can't wait to put these ideas into practice next year.

It was well done. And at the corect level.
Some additional fun/compeitive drills would have been good.
We are using it with our AAU U10's.

I like that he shows some drills I'd never done before, and he does them very age-appropriately. I love the triangle and screen section of motion ofense drills. It was the concept that I tried and failed to teach last year, and will be able to get across this fall.

Excellent!!! Started to install Rick Torbett's Read and React system last season. This video is a wealth of ideas to help with our fundamentals to fine tune our offense. Gives great ideas for "quick hitters" to initiate the offense.

This is an excellent part 1 to youth coaching. I would like to see part 2 teaching team concepts and play at this level. Keep up the good work.

All I want is to prepare my players for Middle/High School. This DVD will give me even more tools to accomplish that. It's nice to get a few wins along the way. I believe these fundamentals will help to accomplish that too. Thanx Bob, and thanx Breakthrough Basketball for making it available.

Excellent DVD with loads of practical suggestions for successful youth b-ball player development. We will use the wall, triangle and 3-on-3 more next season. Only change: come down even harder on coaches about playing time. Kids "win" by learning fundamentals, getting to play in games, having fun and developing a love for the game, rather than on the scoreboard.

I was (and remain) very impressed with the content. I am currently coaching 7th grade boys and will be stepping back and working with 5th graders in the coming years, and I am absolutely going to incorporate much of this into our practice routines.

Probably one of the top 3 purchases I've made as I strive to become a better youth coach!

Great DVD. We utilized Breakthrough Basketball.com heavily in this last season of 10 yr old girls basketball and it really paid off, but we often struggled to find age-appropriate drills to teach key fundamentals. I wish I'd had this DVD @ the beginning of the season as it provides great drills and priorities for those of us who start with kids who have very few skills.
The DVD would be even better if it included a little more on defensive drills and skills development. That said, I'd strongly, strongly recommend it for any youth coach.

I have not reviewed all of the DVD yet. The sections that I have checked out have been quite helpful and age appropriate for my 6th grade girls team. I wish it would have came with a hard copy of the different drills - then I could refer to it during practice.

Great subject matter and presented in a nice format. Very easy to take this straight to the court and practice effectively with your kids. Could use some better editing, as a few times the camera focused too much on Bob, while the kids were demonstrating a skill. I would love to see more!

Great video it's everything that's need to become a great coach!

A great video. The triangle concept and 3 on 3 ideas are excellent and easy to communicate to the kids--that alone was worth the purchase.

I would have liked to see his "shooting mechanics", which he referred to but did not detail. His comments on basket height and ball size were great for the various age groups was very helpful.

The various dribbling, passing drills were very helpful.

Great way to teach fundamentals. I will be recommending our rec department give this dvd to all the 3rd and 4th grade coaches. It will really help teach the kids the rihgt way

This was an excellent DVD. Although I don't coach @ this level it was very informative in regards to the progression that is needed in order to master certain fundamentals. I coach in an HS inner city setting and some of the basic drills could assist some of the players. Nevertheless, the one thing that stands out in my mind is that we all crawl before we walk and we walk before we run.

This was a great DVD for coaches working with young players. While I have coached for many years, I was looking for some good ideas for a group of nine year old boys. This DVD had a lot of good information on all aspects of the game. I particularly liked the section on footwork and pivoting. The analogy of the basketball being like a medicine ball for a child, gave me a good perspective for working with these younger age groups. Coach Bigelow did an awesome job with this video and I would recommend it to other coaches. I would be very interested in one of his clinics or future videos if they are produced. Nice job!!!

Loved it. Particularly liked the parts on pivoting/footwork, running a motion offense (vs. structured/set offense), and running lots of 2on2 and 3on3 during practice.
Also appreciated the emphasis on skill development and fun vs winning games.
Anyway, thanks for the DVD and the other valuable information on your website.

Excellent DVD coach Bigelow. Nice tool for youth coaching. It is plenty of good ideas to guide our young players and gives us a important lesson : we have to respect their level.

great dvd would recomend for any coach .Bob breaks down all the fudamental tells you what you should teach and what the kids comprehend . will help me in making my summer camp for grades 1st- 8th better.

Sorry, but I am a little bit disapponted.
I expected a DVD for Youth to get better in fundamentals. Not to start learning fundamentals.

This is a treasure for the coaches who handle the very young enthusiastic students. Certain things even though we know and know how to teach, sometime we forgot teach. This DVD makes me understand how important the correct basic fundamentals are. By seeing this DVD at least once in a month may make me refresh. I personally feel this is a treasure for me.
Thanks for the coaches and all involved in this.

This is a great DVD for youth. Will help them get started and also develop their skills. Bob shows great drills for any coaches to use. He also explains why he is using them. It is easy for parents and kids to understand Bob. I will refer to this DVD when coaching youth and running clinics.
