Basketball Season to Start

Registration is Live Online! Church basketball season is right around the corner. This year, we are offering several different opportunities for children to participate, learn, and grow. We will host a weekly clinic for 4K/5K children on Friday nights from 5:30-6:10. Also, we will provide an "in-house" league for children in grade 1-4. Hopefully, these new endeavors will help our younger kids develop strong basketball skills while learning to approach sports and life from a Christian perspective. You can read more about OBC church basketball, including these new opportunities, at www.oaklandchurch.com/basketball-registration. From that page, you can also sign up and pay registration fees online. If you have any questions, please contact Carrie Blanchard or David Brown.

Coaching Tips #OBCBiddy

From The Season Blob:

The SINGLE most important skill to learn as a coach is…

• 
 
• 

•  January 26, 2015
 
•  Baseball

This may not surprise you, but I’ve found that the youth sports leagues around the country that spend time and energy training their volunteer coaches almost entirely focus on how to run drills, manage practices, etc.

And sadly, many leagues don’t even do that.

What may surprise you is that I don’t believe the drills and practice schedules are the most important part of becoming an effective coach.

The absolute most crucial skill that ALL coaches need training in, and that is usually entirely overlooked, is HOW to deliver information to each and every player on the team, with the goal of maximizing a player’s physical development, emotional well-being, and level of fun.

This issue transcends coaching of all levels. In fact, leading up to College Football National Championship there were literally thousands of articles written about the match-up, the players, the new playoff system, and dozens of other topics surrounding the game.

However, the article that stands out as most important is this one.

And while it saddens me that a coaching staff who chooses NOT to yell a its players as a valid method of teaching and motivating is “newsworthy,” I am thrilled to see positive coaching creeping its way into the most “yelly” of sports.

I would also encourage you to read a blog I wrote last year about my experience in college with a coach who was a negative yeller. You can find it here.

I regularly address how to become a more positive coach while still accomplishing your other goals like being competitive and winning, and will continue to do so here at GameChanger, but in the meantime another great resource I would encourage you to check out is the Positive Coaching Alliance. The PCA is a national non-profit organization dedicated entirely to coaching coaches in the methods of positive “Double-Goal” coaching and they do truly incredible and important work at all levels of the game.

And, as the football season really starts to wind down that can only mean one thing…pitchers and catchers report really soon!

See you on the diamond,

Coaching 1st Grade Basketball: Teaching Lay-ups

Posted on December 19, 2013 by mmolloy

A lay-up is the most basic way to score in the game of basketball. At the younger levels (K – Grade 3), focusing on using the correct footwork can be frustrating and futile. Very few developing players can use the correct footwork when attempting a lay-up.

So what lay-up fundamentals can you teach to younger players?

First, teach the players the correct aiming point for making a lay-up.

Use the backboard and aim for the top corner of the square: If players can understand the importance of identifying the correct aiming point when taking a lay-up, that is a great starting point. Ask your team what they should aim for when taking a lay-up. Have a little fun with the answers by following the advice of the players.

Below are the typical responses:

“THE BACKBOARD”: This is the best one. Shoot the ball all over the backboard and miss. Look at the player who gave your target and say “I hit the backboard, what is wrong. I am doing what you told me to do. I hit the backboard! Why isn’t it going in?”

“THE SQUARE”: With this response the players are getting closer, but you can still can have some fun by hitting the square, yet still missing the shot. Shoot the ball all over “the square” and intentionally miss. Look at the player who gave your target and say “I hit the square, what is wrong. I am doing what you told me to do. Why isn’t it going in? What is wrong?”

“THE TOP CORNER OF THE SQUARE”: Bingo! This is the correct response and the response EACH player should give to you the rest of the season and their playing career.

Once the players understand where to aim the basketball, the next step in the lay-up process is applying their knowledge to the shot.

Check our coaching youth basketball page for more resources, drills, and ideas.

If you are a teacher who tutors, register with us for just $12 for a year. This is the only fee! Teachers keep 100% of the money. One of our teachers made $5,000 last year tutoring.
