I have a team of 7-9 yr olds. One of my girls gets distracted on crt, I have seen her looking up at the sky in a world of her own, How can I gently encourage her to keep her mind on the game??
they are 7-9 yr olds...lol its a tough age to keep them focussed, more so because of the way the game is played (ie lots of quiet time for the shooters and defence). maybe move her into a position that forces her to keep her focus. but honestly, i wouldnt worry too much. i think if i was that age, the sky would look very interesting too, when the ball is not in my hands...lol
Ha yes very true %3A-) its my first time coaching such a young age, so totally didn't know what to expect, thx for your answer it puts it into perspective!
in more ways than one
Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
