In this session we introduce your players to the fundamentals of movement, the basics of ball handling and how to correctly dribble the ball. However, you'll have to be ready to give a lot of encouragement in order to motivate your players and help them to improve their basketball skills.
"Players do not care how much you know, until they know how much you care."
This is the first session in the series, so your number 1 goal must be to leave all players wanting to play again at the end of the session.

Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
