  • Youth Basketball & Individual Defense
    By: Trevor A. Sumner | - Most people become interested in basketball because they want to dribble and shoot, and indeed, these are fundamental elements of the game. However, you need to have the ball and the way you get it is through playing defense. You need to stop the other team from scoring more often than they stop you to win the game, so though it may not seem like it's as much fun, defense is equally as important as offense.

    Youth basketball coaches need to sell their players on this fact and get everyone ...

  • Youth Basketball Rebounding Tips & Drills
    By: Trevor A. Sumner | - It is natural for casual observers of the game of youth basketball to focus on shooting and scoring as the crux of the sport, but coaches and players know that there are other crucial factors that help to decide who is going to win a given ballgame.

  • Youth Basketball Passing Tip & Drills
    By: Trevor A. Sumner | - Though we all love to see a dazzling crossover dribbling move, a sweet jumper that tickles the twine from beyond the arc, and the monster slam from behind the ear, in the final analysis, youth basketball is a team game. There have been many NBA players who have put up enormous individual numbers without ever winning a championship, and there are others who have multiple rings who didn't score much at all. In basketball you need to get good, high percentage shots, and to do that consistently you ...

  • Youth Basketball & Improving Jumping Ability
    By: Trevor A. Sumner | - Unless you happen to be seven feet tall, jumping ability has a great deal to do with your success as a basketball player.

  • Youth Basketball Defensive Drills.
    By: Trevor A. Sumner | - They say no man is an island, but that is exactly what it can feel like when you are defending the player with the ball. At its core, though, it is the essence of good defensive basketball. At some point in the game, every player on the floor will have the ball and every player on the floor will be responsible for keeping that player from scoring or creating a scoring opportunity. Basketball defense is one of those areas that is a prime example of personal responsibility within a team sport.

  • Youth Basketball Free Throw Shooting Drills
    By: Trevor A. Sumner | - Though it may seem like one of the least exciting offensive aspects of the game of basketball, free throw shooting is every bit as important as making lay ups, knocking down open jump shots, or hitting the three.

    The game's greatest free throw shooters have three things in common. They spend countless extra hours practicing free throws, they establish and follow a free throw routine, and they ...

  • Youth Basketball Defensive Drills
    By: Trevor A. Sumner | - There is a famous sports saying that offense wins games and defense wins championships. In basketball, if your team doesn't possess a healthy dose of defensive consistency to go along with its offensive firepower they will find it difficult to win.
