In a way, it sounds like you've answered your own question. If they are standing around too much, then you need to make sure they aren't. I think you can run...
You didn't mention the age of your team, but I doubt your offense is too complicated. I ran pretty much the same plan for middle school boys and it worked...
I run the same thing for my seventh graders. They love it. They only get two rotioanins in, i.e. picking down, then away, but it works great for us. They...

There are a few good drills in the Five Star book that combine six parts into one. I believe closing in, ball pressure, denial, help, bump the cutter, etc. I...
Sounds like you are teaching a very basic motion, which is good. I would just stick with that and place a heavy emphasis on teaching skills in practice....
Coach Ricci, May I suggest a low-stress, high-reward approach to setting up your summer basketball camp by checking www.shot-doctor.com. At Shot Doctor, we...

Hi coaches, Does anyone out there have a 1-4 low m2m offense where the offense starts with the 4 low men on the baseline? yours in basketball, Dan Freeman ... ...
Coach Gill, that is exactly what I do. Break down the offense into smaller parts and work on each part. Also if its a offense where I know we will get most...
Dan, In a word, yes, I have coached elementary through high school and have worked with some of the best. In 6th grade I can't help but think you are limited...
Hi coaches, Can some one out there tell me why we have 7 and 8 years old youngsters playing team basketball? What is the big rush? Or is it just that I am...
Hi Dan, Me, I think it is too much for most 6th graders to handle. They are required to think a lot and react. I don't know that most 6th graders have that...
Coach it sounds like you are expecting too much, IMHO. But that isnt a bad thing. The one thing you have to KEEP reminding yourself is that they are in 6th...
IMHO, yes. teaching the motion game is a great way to teach basketball. Teaching Duke's motion to 6th graders is, at best, ambitious. teach them the motion...
Coaches, I have two boys who would be looking for a JUCO placement in the 07-08 season as they both need a little extra time to finish grade 12. THey are...

We really call it backside run and jump. We call what you describe as front side run and jump. ________________________________ From:...
Coach Freeman, Are you looking for a specific offense? Or are you looking more for the 1-4 set as a way to give your Point Guard more clearout opportunities...
Kids can learn any offense if they are given clear instructions and get enough repetitions. Is that what you really want? You want them to read and react and...

For those of you who run your own camps, did you form a LLC or something similar? I've run a camp through the local YMCA for six years, but this summer we're...
Dan, IMHO, I think that it is a bit much for 6th graders. Personally, with my 6th and 7th graders I work on basic skills and technique. Stuff like learning...
