Great Value!
By Sean G.
I have in a faithful manner employed this video over the course of a CYO basketball season consisting of 12 year old boys and saw visible results. This has been my third year coaching and I have taken bits & pieces from books and videos through the course of each season to help me in organizing the offense, defense and practices. This has become my bestloved resource for exercises and some person skills. Out of the 48 drills, I rotated using with regards to five or six at each of our practices. The results were positive. Toward the middle of the season, I knew which of the drills worked best for my team and which ones they enjoyed most. There are likewise galore tips that coaches wil find useful. Our team’s favored drills were the originative shooting drills. There were in all likelihood 20-22 of them. All in all I would say this is very suitable to the following: parents, youth coaches with kids ages 8-16,and middle school coaches. What this video may lack is sheer perfective basketball technique, but it makes up two fold in overall creative thinking and usefulness. Great value!

Very Good with Valuable Drills!
By Allen Marino
I’m not sure if the drills in this video are in truth championship calibre. However, most of the drills that I used with my team were effective. This video is for the basi or second year Junior High coach (like myself) or any coach on the recreational level (ie. CYO and/or PAL coach or just in your driveway with your son or daughter). They are not too difficult to follow and supplementary drills may be invented effortlessly enough. The narrator uses the expression “dual purpose” drills which translates into getting more than one gain from any drill. Combining shooting along with conditioning is used in most of the shooting drills. For instance, a drill with 3 players, one shooter, one rebounder and one passer. A simple drill but after the shooter shoots, he sprints to the wall and then back to his spot. The timing is such that when he gets back to his spot, the passer is already passing the ball. Thought this aspect of the drill was just staged for the video but when I tried it, it worked great! Other drills likewise worked well like “shots all over the lane” and a few of the rebounding drills. The explanations were largely of the drills themselves and not too much on the X’s and 0′s. Added tips are given if you listen close sufficient and the foul shooting and regular shooting proficiencies are discussed in a clear concise manner which turned out to be my bestloved share of the video. The drills are forty five seconds to with regards to a minute long. The sample exercises given at the end of the video will be exceedingly helpful to any recreational coach. The video could have been more elaborated with more theory (which I like), but in truth, it gives you just what it says. Some very good drills along with a superior format for a sports instructional video make this a buy.

Good beginning drills, but not advanced
By A
This video would be a good resource for a parent or a young coach who has not coached before. The drills are designed for youth league teams, and the video includes a heap of general drills that each coach ought to know. However, the video is not very helpful for coaching players in junior high or high school. If you have coached for more than a year or two, there’s not likely to be anything included on this video that you haven’t seen before.
There are galore good, basic drills included on the video, and they are, for the most part, explained pretty well. However, the execution of galore of the drills is disappointing in that the attention to detail is not as exhaustive as it will have to have been. Since the video seems to be designed for coaches with minimal experience, it is disappointing that the video demonstrates galore poor fundamentals. For instance, there are a lot of drills shown on the video where the players dribble or do ballhandling drills with their heads down, don’t block out the right way for the duration of the rebounding drills, don’t meet the pass in a great deal of the shooting drills, and don’t maintain good defensive position in a great deal of of the defensive drills.
