The alphaBASKETBALL Coaches Library…for Individual Coaches**
Youth Basketball Coaching Materials for the SPECIFIC AGE GROUP YOU ARE COACHING!
The alphaBASKETBALL Coaches Library provides AGE APPROPRIATE coaching materials to volunteer youth basketball coaches that are coaching players in Grades K through 8. You will have unlimited access to the materials that will make it easier for you to be a great coach, including:
- Skill Videos that give coaches tips on how to teach AGE APPROPRIATE skills, and ideas on running effective practices
- Drill/Game Videos that show coaches fun, effective, and AGE APPROPRIATE drills and games
- Instructional Aids that make learning more fun and effective for players
- a Practice Plan Template
Materials for the Grade YOU are coaching in! We’ve created a Coaches Library and associated materials for each youth basketball age group, from Grade K through Grade 8. In each age group, the materials are designed to fit the physical capability and mental/emotional maturity level of players in that age group. The materials for players in Grades K and 1 are focused on the very basic fundamental skills, the key terms of the game, and having fun with friends so players have a positive experience and want to keep playing next season. From there, the materials for subsequent grades help coaches incrementally build skills in a manner consistent with the physical, mental, and emotional development of young players…and similar to the way the math curriculum in elementary and middle schools helps teachers incrementally advance math skills. It costs just $29.99 for the entire season.

A NEW APPROACH: The reality is that the vast majority of the videos and drills available online are geared to older, more competitive players that already have a strong understanding of the game. Most of the products available to youth coaches focus on helping coaches win the local championship. You’ve seen the adds – they typically say things like “The 5 Keys to winning more games!”, “44 Killer Plays to shock your opponent!”, or “25 Inbounds Plays to get an easy basket”. Wait a minute. 25 Inbounds Plays? Are you kidding me? What volunteer coach that is working with young players would ever need that?
What about the needs of volunteer coaches that are focused on the younger age groups, that have limited gym time, and where the primary mission of the league is to teach the fundamentals? You know, where parents and other volunteer coaches are encouraged not to focus on trick plays to win games, but rather to incremental advance players skills in a fun environment so more players have the passion and skills to play the sport for a very long time, whether that’s competitively or recreationally. What about the needs of those coaches?
Finally, there’s a product for the coaches that are focused on the real mission of youth basketball. Your mission. With the alphaBASKETBALL Coaches Library, you can get access to the best drills and other coaching materials for the specific age group you are coaching. No longer will you have to hunt through DVDs or online sites to find drills that are actually appropriate for the younger grades you are currently coaching. We understand that you’re not interested in hundreds or thousands of videos, and don’t have the time to sift through them all. We know that you’re looking for the short list of the best drills and other materials that will help you run fun and effective practices that keep players in YOUR age group engaged, learning the fundamentals, and having fun.
SAMPLE DRILL: Click on the video window below to see a sample Shooting Drill and Game we created called “321 Shooting”. Young players love this drill and it gives them lots of game like movements and shooting reps. Watch how ALL players are active for the entire drill, and how they mimic the kinds of motions you want them making in a game (follow your shot, pass then cut, etc.). Players love this even more when you run it as a competition!
