What skills do you coaches feel are most important to teach kids at the youth level?
As I am helping my 13 year old daughter through her basketball journey that she began in January of 2023 and watching her play AAU (regional travel ball).
These are the things that I see as crucial to teach these kids:
Decision Making (What is a good pass, good shot etc.)
Foot Skills, (POOP) Pivot out of pressure
Ball Handling versus pressure, valuing the dribble don’t just dribble to dribble
Shooting mechanics
As you know I have hosted clinics on various topics
