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...

  Your child's first basketball class is coming, and if you still don't know what equipment will be needed...Don't worry, we have made a list of essentials that your child must have for that exciting first basketball experience.  1) Shoes: Wearing any kind of sport shoes will prevent ankle and foot injuries substantially during practice, and in game enivronments. They protect your child's feet, while they run and jump on a hard-court, which the game is played on.   2) Shorts: Moving while practicing and playing will be much easier with athletic-styled shorts. Something like the style pictured below, is ideal.   3 T-Shirt:  Wearing any regular t-shirt will also help with movement.  4.Socks: Socks that are too thin, or made of thin material, will rub at your child’s feet. The feeling can be uncomfortable. Socks that are too thick, will cause your child's feet to sweat, which is also uncomfortable.   We’d suggest athletic socks, as they are made for vigor...

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...

Why should your Child attend Camps & Clinics?  With many youth basketball teams, the trend over the past couple decades has been to play more games and do less skill work. While games are important, your child needs a healthy balance of game time and practice time. The problem with more games and less practice is that your child will touch the ball much less. With more touches, your child becomes a better basketball player.  With all things being equal, we'll break down a typical 32-minute game:  32 x 5 = 160 total minutes for a team of 8 players.  160 minutes / 8 players = 20 minutes per player.  20 minutes per player / 2 = 10 minutes of time that your team is on offense.  10 minutes / 5 players = your child is only touching the ball for two minutes per game!!  During our typical skill sessions, the player will have the ball in their hands 60 to 90 minutes.  That means you have to play 30 to 45 games to touch the ball as much as...
