"How to Make Basketball Practice FUN and Enjoyable -- Tips, Tactics, Advice, and 60 Fun Basketball Drills for Youth Coaches"
Dear Basketball Coach,
Why would you want "FUN" basketball drills?
You probably know part of the answer but you might not know how FUN practices can dramatically affect you and your players for the better...
What are the benefits of making practice and drills fun?
- Your players will work and play harder.
- Your players will be more enthusiastic.
- Your players will learn to enjoy fitness oriented activities and get in better condition.
- Your players will give you more respect.
- Your player's attitudes will improve.
- Your players will learn to love the game of basketball.
- Your player's confidence will improve.
- Your player's skills will improve.
- Your player's focus will improve.
- You'll get more done because practice is more efficient.
- You will have more fun and enjoy coaching even more.
- You'll win more games.
Let's face it...
Young basketball players are there to have FUN!
But unfortunately most basketball skill drills are monotonous and boring. And young players DO NOT want yelled at by drill sergeants to keep them on task!
The frustrating problem is that good youth coaches want the best of BOTH worlds...
- You want your players to have fun.
- And you want your players to improve their skills and learn the game of basketball.
This is a CONSTANT battle that ALL youth coaches face.
So how do you keep things fun yet still develop skills and help your players improve?
We don't have a magic pill for you. The truth is that it's not always easy to be a GREAT coach...
But we have compiled an eBook with TIPS, TACTICS, ADVICE, and 60 FUN DRILLS that will most definitely help you get the best of both worlds.
Here are some of the things you'll learn in our latest eBook:
- 10 tips to structure practices that are fun and fast paced.
- How to GRAB and HOLD your players attention without yelling at them.
- How to get your players to really enjoy the game of basketball and remember youth basketball as a very happy experience!
- How to teach fundamental skills and keep things fun.
- How to keep practice organized and under control.
- Tricks to keep your players on their best behavior and under control.
- Tips to keep your practice fast paced and efficient.
- How to get more done in practice and keep things fast paced (without going crazy).
- 8 surefire ways to make ordinary drills FUN - don't stop with the drills we have presented for you.
- How to help your players to develop skills faster.
- How to handle the short attention span of young players and keep their attention.
- How to improve your team's confidence.
- How to earn your players respect and turn their basketball experience into a positive event.
- How to make your players feel successful.
- How to motivate your players.
Here are the 60 Fun Youth Basketball Drills and Games that we have Included in the eBook
Every drill has a unique twist to make it fun for young players. None of the drills are boring!
Almost ALL the drills in the eBook are multi-facet and incorporate a variety of skills. So it's hard to categorize them. To make things easier, we labeled each drill so you can quickly see which skills they develop. Here are the labels we used:
|
A=Agility AP=Aggressive Play BH=Ball Handling / Dribbling C=Conditioning CM=Communication D=Defense F=Footwork O=Offense P=Passing R=Rebounding S=Shooting TW=Teamwork |
We then organized the basketball drills into the following basic sections:
- 17 fun ballhandling drills
- 14 fun shooting drills
- 14 fun passing drills
- 17 fun offense/defense drills

After coaching small college basketball for many years getting used to working with 3rd 4th and 5th graders was a challenge. I found this book very helpful in structuring drills that kept the players moving, active and competitive yet still teaching basketball fundamentals.

This book is very useful in coaching my kids of age 11-12. The kids have a lot of fun and at the same time develop their individual skills. This book also makes my coaching easier with so many different fun drills to choose from,
Thank you very much.

This is a great set of drills that will enhance players of all levels. Having a sound understanding of human movement and its development will help in the selection of appropriate exercises and drills. I haven't tried them yet, but that will change very soon as I will be coaching 3 Upward teams this season and I am looking forward to seeing the change in my players!

This is an excellent product. I am new to coaching and was lucky enough to discover this 3 days before our first practice. I picked out 7 drills and we had a ton of fun while learning! It makes it very easy to select drills based on what you want to focus on. It's my first reference for practices.

This is a must have for beginning coaches. No need reinvent the wheel. Great way for kids to learn fundamentals and have fun at the same time. These drills/games are always a part of our practice. I am a 2nd year coach and I wish I had them for my first team.

I coach my daughter's 3rd grade team and had little idea of what I was doing and basically winged practice which made them just OK.
With this book I can sit down, figure out what I want the girls to work on, and then just look up appropriate drills/games.
Most of the drill/games I have introduced the girls have really enjoyed and had fun with. I think the practices are much more fun now for both the players and coaches.

I purchased this book last summer and I used the drills off and on, mixed them in with different things during practice and thought it was an ok book. However, with our season winding down, having a really bad record, and knowing that we would get killed at the middle school regional and state tournaments. I decided to make the last three weeks of the season as fun as possible and keep the girls interested for next year. I used this book and let the girls play more games that focused on skills, yet are fun such as Dribble Tag, Queen (King) of the Court, Space Invaders, Dribble Relays etc….The girls love the drills and keep asking to do the different drills. Plus I have not gotten the sigh of not this drill again.
In this short time period, we saw a huge jump in the girls dribbling skills. We worked on different things all season, but we did not have the huge skill jump that we experienced over the last three weeks. I cannot help but think that the fun drills/games in this book had something to do with it. I might be old and slow to change, but I know when something works.
My skill sessions for the beginners this summer will have A LOT of drills from this book. The intermediate skill sessions will also use this book.
I highly recommend this book, but it will only work if you use it…
Thanks
Dave

Like Tim from BLANDON, PA, I've been playing basketball for a long time (30+ years), but unlike Tim, this is my first year as a coach (4th grade boys). I found 60 fun drills to be a lifesaver. It's given me plenty of ideas to keep my practices fun and educational. After four practices, I haven't repeated a drill yet.

I found 60 fun drills to be a very useful tool. I've been playing and coaching basketball for 25 years and I still found it very useful and educational. I was already using a lot of the drills but found some that I either forgot about or have never tried. I highly recommend 60 fun drills to coaches of all levels.

Well put together and organized nicely in to drills for different aspects of the game. I found it easy to modify a drill if my kids were not able to follow the original successfully. I would recommend this tool as a good way to ensure foundational skills are being taught, yet the kids are having FUN, because that's what youth basketball is really all about.

Our team was made up of 5 and 6 year olds who needed to learn basic basketball fundamentals, such as dribbling, shooting, passing, catching, rebounding, and defense. This book of drills provided me with exercises that allowed the players to both learn and have a good time. For example, "snake dribbling" provided each player the opportunity to have their own ball, constantly dribble, be personnally challenged, and was entertaining. During the course of the season, our players showcased excellent skills on the hard wood, had a winning season, and had a lot of fun.

These drills were invaluable this season. We went from a 0-10 season last year to 7-3 this year! Our players were more engaged at practice and actually didn't want the practice sessions to end. I recommend this product to all of the other coaches I talk with.

I am coaching 9 year olds and for the most part they were great drills they just couldn't follow some of them. I really liked the drills and as I coach older levels I think they will be great. It also took the pressure off or having to think up alot of drills myself

I've read through the Fun Drills ebook, and I think it's great! Didn't realize before I had to "make practice fun" (just thought kids had fun playing the sport). I especially like the 7 critical elements to making practice fun. And I like that the drills are organized by category with the skills that each drill works on. And it's not too many to choose from. Since I coach 5-8 year olds in a developmental league, I'll have to spend time teaching them the mechanics of each skill before turning them loose in the drills. Some improvements I'd like to see: (1) drills divided by age group; (2) more drills for half court because we don't have full court for practice; (3) drills to development footwork and balance; (4) offense and defense drills separated.

I coach 7-year olds and keeping their focus during practice is a challenge. I've had the eBook for a month and have used almost half in practice. These drills will help maintain our goal of having fun and teaching fundamentals.

This book has been a great help. I pull at least 1 drill or game out of here for each practice. I coach both an 11 year old team and a 7 year old team and there is plenty here for all youth ages. The drills practice/reinforce good fundamentals (which coaches love) while allowing kids to compete which makes it fun for them and thus entices a 100% effort ....Thanks!

I find the 60 Fun Youth drills to have many very beneficial approaches. The makeup of the book allows me to decide what the priorities of practice are, go to that section, & make a decent practice plan. This e-book also helps to take some of my weaknesses as a coach and put a bit of a stop gap in those areas. I appreciate also the constant suggestion to make your own twist on these drills acknowledging these are not perfect for every situation but a fantastic starting point for developing strong well rounded players. This is probably my favorite product in all of them that I've bought.
Joe and Jeff I think this is a great product and feel you should spend some time in the future making it even better. It is great but has even more potential! I would totally pay for an upgrade price. ;)

Hi Guys,
Great drills to end my practices and keep my girls focused. We have just begun and I have used the tip-the-cone drill and the circle passing drill. They love to end with something fun, and to keep things interesting I often join in. They LOVE to beat the Coach...!!

This book is great. I use something out of it everyday and I coach Varsity Girls. I had a bad (but true) reputation of not being fun and being too hard on them and this book has really helped me improve the morale of my team and improve myself as a coach, while still improving our skills and fundamentals. There is a huge change for the better in our gym this season and I contribute a lot of that to the ideas that I get from this book. I recommend this book very highly to any level of coaching, even college.

We used these drills in a six station clinic for 3rd thru 6th graders over a month period and never ran out of drills. You have to tweak them for your own individual situation and goals to make them work for you. They are very adaptable, easy to use. Highly recomend!! Thanks, Joe!!!

The 60 drills is a great way to teach fundamentals and still have fun. I used it for my basketball clinic. It brought back memories of when I used to attend clinics in my youth. It really has good drills especially for the younger age group. I modified the drills some for my older groups to keep them more interested. This is truly a great way to keep kids interested and to actually process the proper way to play basketball. You can also modify it to where it fits other sports such soccer and flag Football. I really recommend this ebook especially to those who are beginners in teaching the game.

I run a basketball camp the month of July going four weeks for two hours per week. The age levels are boys and girls 6,7 & 8 year olds. I have been doing this for eleven years. The 60 Drills was excellent in teaching the skills that I wanted. We want the kids to learn basketball skills but have fun in that process.The 60 Drills really helped towards that goal.

Great drills! I have not coached in several years so these are great supplemental help. This is our first year to have a school sponsored competitive 6th grade team. The girls are enjoying the fundamental drills and a few drills have even caught the eye of the high school head coach. In addition, I use some of the drills for my elementary PE classes when we cover basketball fundamentals.

I started out the year with boring drills for my 4th-8th grade girls. When I added the fun drills, they started learning the game. More importantly, they started stealing the ball and getting aggressive. Our defense improved 100%

This was a great addition to my collection.
I was not only finding my players getting tired of the same drills, myself as a coach was also.
This was a fun way to key in on many different skills at once. I was able to pair my players up on skill levels, but also taught my team to work together. Teaching my stronger players to play at the other players level without turning the ball over. My weaker players were able to gain selfesteem and feel more comfortable at game time.
My players were learning and didn't even know it because they were having some much fun laughing.
We were warming up before a game when a coach out of the stands come up and stated we was trying to get his high team to run this same drill and wasn't having any luck. I say just make it fun and laugh alot. That is the key to working with kids.
Thanks for all the great drills. I am looking forward to next season and what you bring out.

We did several of the drills in practice this week and the boys had a great time. They really like the competition and were already asking if we are going to do them for the next practice. The "challenge" drill and "war" helped the boys get more aggressive in rebounding and defense in our game this week already.
Thanks.

This ebook helped me to organize practice much more efficiently and quickly. It is very well orgainized and put together. I simply determined a few areas on which we needed some more work, went to the table of contents, and that led me straight to the drills. For the first time, I had players asking to run drills. Beats the heck out of 3-man weave, and single line lay-ups any day.

This is my first year teaching youth league basketball, and also the first year for most of the girls between ages 8-9yrs old first time playing basketball. The drills have helped me tremendously. They are fun to teach and the girls really enjoy the drills. The also like the fact that I teach them something new each practice using the drills. We have a lot of fun at practice, but the most important fact is that my team is learning and listening and enjoying the game of basketball.
The edrills are fabulous.

I had already used some of these drills in my practices and my girls and boys love them. Thanks for puttung out a book with more fun drills. My kids are learning more and putting out more effort because of them. I scrimmage very little but use these drills more to teach basketball to youth boys and girls. Is there any chance you will put out another book with more drills. Rick

I'm a professional tennis coach by trade but decided to coach my son's youth basketball team this year. I needed drills that would accomplish two things.. develop their skills and be fun. The 60 drills book was a perfect match. The kids improve each week and are anxious to see what new drills & games we have the next time. This book is a winner and highly recommended!!

One of the co-coaches is going to adapt some of the drills to the freshman team he is working with!
Excellent resource for ALL coaches!

I've appreciated your eBook regarding man defense, I don't think the one about fun drills is at that level.
You're doing a good job (good resources at very reasonable prices) but you don't need a 5 star review for whatever you do. There's margin to improve the product.
I recognize it can be very useful for less experienced coaches.

This a great resource for coaches. I have found new ideas to teach the same fundamentals.
It makes practice planning very easy, as assistant coaches can see a visual of the activities before practice.

This program was a MAJOR time saver. It is not just a drill book - but one that creates fundamentally sound players in a fun and engaging way! I highly recommend this!

After teaching fundamentals, I use the fun drills, so that kids can improve what they learned and have fun at the same time. They like most of the "drills" and I enjoy the practice
because I have at least 80% presences since I
do the fun-drills. So I shall go on using them a lot. Thanks

I've coached 5th & 6th grade girls basketball for two years. The first year was ok. Then I recieved "60 Fun Youth Basketball Drills". The girls and myself started having alot more fun at practice and at games. We took second place in our league, after applying these drills.
I greatly enjoy your newsletter, keep them coming. Thank you.

As a coach of 10-12 yr olds I must have lots of drills on hand prior to the season so my practices will be organized, varied from night to night, properly paced and able to teach the kids in a progressive way. Glad to have 60 to choose from.
As a program coordinator of rec basketball K-6, I also have a tool to help new coaches succeed as volunteers and keep kids coming back year after year. This tool fits it up. My practices were interesting to players, assistants and parents too! And my other volunteers kept calling me to get drills they could use on younger ages. Well done, guys!

I have found this product to be very useful. I coach a 9/10 yrs old boys team, and the drills to the guys are fun, but I can see their skills improving while they are having fun. I will continue to use these drills and tips for as long as I am coaching a team, no matter what age they are.
A great tool at a great price!!

The fun drills are great as a break up the serious side of training for my under 12 boys. With a little bit of tweaking and added imagination many can can be converted into a competitive contests between groups or individuals which they all enjoy a lot. A fantastic resource to stop wandering minds at training and to develop skills. Thanks for the ideas.

I am a coach of girls under 12. I needed some tips on how to make training fun especially at this age when the girls are making the transition from the basics to more technical training. I have found this package truly amazing and it has helped our team gel well together. The main thing I have learnt is make the drills interesting and fun and involving everyone as much as possible. My girls comment nowadays that they enjoy coming to training which is great. And by the way we won our first grand final this weekend. A great effort by the girls and i owe a lot of it to this booklet. The best part is when i have asked for special tips Jeff has always been able to reply to me quickly with assistance and ideas. thanks again.

Great value this e-book, it's like my youth basketball bible! I also used some of the drills with adults that I coach and they enjoy them too.

I love the way the fun drills are broken up into categories. It makes for a lot of saved time planning practices. I just flip to the section I want to work on for the practice and there it is! My 9 year old girls travel team have loved most of the drills we have used. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I have been using the drills to the kids and the wonderful thing about it is that it is fun and easy to learn and at the same time giving the fundamentals of basketball to the kids. I do have one question though, stretching exercises weren't discussed, so i was wondering on what would be the best stretching exercises for kids ages 8-14, and 15-18.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Absolutely fabulous and very practical. I am usung it during the summer for a kids basketball camp from 8 to 12. They are having a lot of fun. I forgot about having to spend hours looking for drills. What I am doing is making the drills even more competitve this year to avoid the boredom. Thanks you for your research and keep it up.

Hi
Since using the fun drills I have seen a more enthusiastic and motivated attitude among my players during training. We used to play in League 4, which we won at a canter. We then moved up two divisions to League 2 in our school competition.. This is where I saw a change in attitude for the worse. We lost a couple of games. I started to use the fun drills and we ended up as runner-up in the final. I want to thank the authors of the programme. It has been fantastic to use it.

These drills are great. I can hardly call them drills because they are fun and the players really like them. The neat thing is the players think its fun, but I know they are also learning valuable basketball skills. I have used the fun drills in all my practices. They are clear and easy to implement.

The 60 fun drills were really useful. There were loads of great drills, but the fact that they were put into categories helped too. I have used many of them to great effect with the 6-12 yr olds that I coach, they love doing the drills. Thanks for putting them together.

Hi, the 60 fun drills is in my opinion one of the most important and difficult works I can find on the basketball drills market. Fun is so important and in fact very serious aspect of practicing basketball. It gives the coach some seconds and minutes,when the concentration of his players on practice comes authomatically with the fun drill, without coaches effort. That gives the coach time to concentrate for next drill and players spend interesting minutes on the floor. And there are not many fun drills available at all. So thanks a lot for this five star ranking material,coach Martin,Prague
