should 6-8 year olds be doing dynamic stretching during warm up and cool down stages? If so has anyone got any ideas or techniques?
i don't believe you can simply say no to the idea of any age group doing dynamic stretches but I would be making sure that it doesn't completly replace a jog and static stretches. Use the dynamic stretches more as a fun way to get the girls use to the feel of the ball in their hands. one basic drill we do to get the girls thinking of holding the ball is they all line up behind each other and start by passing ball overhead to next in line (Stretches arms), then pass ball between knees (Back), then in S pattern around waist (back). Then to get them concentrating make patterns of up, down left & right. As players improve you can do this on the move. Good luck.
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.
