Teaching Youth Basketball Basics

Using the I.D.E.A. approach (Introduce, Demonstrate, Explain, and Attend), coaches Kelly Hill and Argie Johnson take a group of boys and girls through basic skills and drills, including passing, shooting, dribbling, rebounding, and setting screens. Although the program is relatively short at 23 minutes (and includes a plug for a book on coaching), novice coaches and their teams would benefit from the sound principles and useful drills presented on the tape.
