Defensive Communication

Hello,

I am Coach Lee. I coach kids from ages 9 up to 13. I would like to instill better defensive communication in their game. Does anyone have any drills or pointers to do this?

Yes, check out this article. This is one of the best ways to improve communication.

Also, just emphasizing communication in all your drills. Coach K demands his players to communicate in all drills. The communication carries over into games. The trick is for the coach to give them good suggestions on what to say. You don't want useless chatter.

Let us know what you think and how else we can help.
