Youth Basketball: What Parents Should be Keeping in Mind Whether you’re just starting out in the sport or well on your way to playing club ball, a basketball parent comes to realize that basketball, like some other sports, is one that has a culture all its own. Some of these things you will no doubt be familiar with – others, perhaps, not so much. Here are a few things I’ve learned over the years as a basketball parent: 1. It is perfectly normal for your first youth basketball game, especially if your kids are younger than five, to resemble that of circus or farm. There are wandering cattle, lost sheep, and lots of whistles. 2. As a parent of a little dribbler, you might feel you need to purchase “the best” basketball shoes so that your child’s ankles are fully supported. This parent didn’t. Our daughter wore her typical athletic sneakers her first season. For our child’s second basketball season, we bought the least expensive basketball shoe at our local sports store. Our young kids...

As we get closer to reopening our gym classes for basketball training, we also need to make sure safety protocols are in place to combat Covid19. Following the guidelines published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we hope for everyone to remember the basket when playing basketball.  Be tested for Covid19  We are in the business of providing basketball lessons to kids but the safety of everybody remains to be our top priority. Parents can rest assured that our coaches and staff at the gym are tested for the novel corona virus.  Always wear a mask  Coaches and parents are advised to wear a mask when unable to maintain a 6-feet physical distance from each other during basketball sessions. Kids will not be required to wear a mask during training or games. Sanitized gym and sports equipment  Regular disinfection and sanitization will be conducted to make sure the gym and necessary sports equipment are safe to use. Frequent hand washing wil...

If you’re a parent looking for reasons why you should enroll your kid in basketball, look no further. Let us be the one to shed light on the topic. Basketball, or sports in general, remains to be a big part of modern society. Some kids do it because it’s fun, some just do it because of pressure, while some do it because they want to become pros later in their lives. No matter the reason for playing basketball, we know there’s a lot your kid can learn from it.  Develop self-discipline. Basketball is a game that requires constant movement. As a player, your kid has to run, dribble, pass and, shoot, and that’s a good thing. As your kid gets exhausted, sweat, and maybe shed a tear or two, you’re helping them develop the self-discipline that they need as they grow older to become responsible adults. Overcome challenges. Facing an opponent in court is a challenge in itself. Your kid can learn to overcome challenges better by listening to the coach, learning to be a team player and, knowi...

When James Naismith invented basketball back in 1891, it was to provide “athletic distraction” to his students who were getting rowdy during the New England winter; and it worked! The game has since then become a prominent sport with the main goal of one team scoring more points than the other.  That may be well and good, but here at Royal Basketball School, we believe that this sport offers so much more. With our year-round basketball program, we believe that not only can we develop great athletes, we can also develop even greater people. This is possible because we respect each athlete, admire teamwork and lead with integrity. 🏀🏀🏀 With this goal in mind, the pandemic hasn’t stopped us from providing sessions to kids eager and excited to play basketball. Our coaches cater to year-round private, semi-private and even on-demand classes. Each program has been designed to achieve different objectives, in different formats.  Get to know more about these programs.  here: ht...

7 TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR CHILDREN EXCITED ABOUT SPORT GAMES Here are 7 ideas to try out with kids of all ages: FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA 1. INSPIRE THEM VIA PERSONAL EXAMPLE Bring them to your “extracurricular” activity. Ideally, it should be related to the sport they are going to start practicing. However, any kind of sport, even any kind of hobby, like arts or walking tours etc., may do the job. Let your child feel that “extracurricular” does not mean extra homework. It means extra fun. Extra excitement. Extra interesting, fascinating and unforgettable experience. Let them see that you - and adult - do it absolutely voluntarily, because it makes you happier. Then the child gets interested in finding his / her own hobby.  2. SHOW THEM WHAT THEY ARE SIGNING UP TO Give you kids an idea of what their “ out-of-school” activities are about. Take them to see a professional game. Play this game with them in your backyard. Show them a championsh...

This helps you prioritize what's most important. Differentiate between urgent and important. He uses the example of a paper due tomorrow and an exam in two weeks. The exam is important, but the paper is urgent. Understanding the difference helps you prioritize your efforts. _...

How the Drill Works: Players at the top of the key dribble down and perform a handoff, with a wing player cutting to the top of the key, who then takes the shot or drives for the layup. Purpose: To work on shooting off hand-offs, and perfecting them.  This can be a tricky skill for for players to master, unless they practice often. Setup: Two lines at the top of the key. Both have two basketballs in each line.  One line of players on the lower end of each wing. Instructions: 1.  The first players from the top of the key dribble down to the wing on their respective sides. At the same time, the wing player should be making cut towards the baseline. 2.  Making sure to change speeds, the wing player explodes up towards the wing, receives the hand-off and then performs a certain shot. 3.  The person that hands off the basketball joins the end of the wing-line. 4.  The shooter rebounds their basketball, and then joins the line at the top...
