If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games.

Train your coaches
The single most important action a youth sports organization can take to enhance its program is to train its volunteer coaches. Encourage your organization to train their coaches. A Parent Orientation Program and Criminal Background Checks are also available.

Rating (10/10 )
Every youth coach should explore this site! You will need Flash and QuickTime media players on your computer and lots of time. It has games for kids to play and games for coaches to run at practice. There are printouts and video clips of the basic basketball skills, even skills like setting a screen and switching. Assign some of these pages as homework for your very young players and then quiz them on the basics of the game and the referee’s hand signals. Posted 12/7/05

Animated Plays

Rating (10/10 )
Beware of pop-ups on this free site but definitely still worth the visit. If you have heard of a play or seen it in a game and now want to see an animated breakdown of the the play, this site does just that. You can see plays like the Double Pick or the Zone Press Break.

Degerstrom Basketball
www.degerstrom.com/basketball
Rating (9/10 )
There are sites with drills and then there is this site, with 833 basketball drills separated into 14 categories. There is not a lot of graphics or ads just a easy to use black and white list breaking them down into categories like youth drills, offensive drills or even wheelchair drills.

Hayden's Basketball Drills on video
www.basketballdrills.homestead.com
Rating (9/10)
Are you tired of reading and just want to see the drill? Here is a great site created by a high school junior when she was in the 8th grade. Almost all drills have an attached video (without sound) that is pretty easy to load like dribbling drills.

Updated recently Coaches Clipboard
www.coachesclipboard.net
Rating (9/10)
This website has basketball fundamentals including terminology and many basketball drills. Be sure to check out the page with links to video clips of all the drills. The small video clip can quickly provide new idea to try at practice. It even covers issues such as the right attitude, the role of the basketball player and how to practice on your own in the off season. Great page for coaches wanting fundamentals and more.
