Teach Your Child to Play Basketball

Dear Parent,

Coach Chris here.  I'd like to help you teach your child the game of basketball so that they can be successful and enjoy the game. I think a big key to enjoying the game is having some early success.  This comes from teaching skills the correct way so that kids don't develop bad habits early that go on for years and become almost impossible to break.  

Take shooting for example, so many kids have terrible form.  The root cause of this is poor instruction and not enough practice. From my experience, unless a child is a natural shooter (there aren't many) the best shooter's have parents who are either coaches or know enough about basketball to teach them good form from the start. I taught my children how to shoot the basketball by working with them between 10 to 15 minutes a day for several weeks.  I taught them early so they really didn't know any other way.

And with continued practice and reinforcement of solid shooting fundamentals over the years, they were some of the best shooters in high school.  I would suggest you check out my Daddy Daughter - Father Son Workout. I take my son who was in 2nd grade at the time through a shooting workout where he learned to shoot with great form.  You can send your kids to all the camps you want but unless you work with them at home they will probably not become very good shooters because it takes good instruction and consistent practice.

Youth Basketball Parents

We have various basketball training aids that can help you as a parent teach your child the game of basketball but I would suggest you start with our videos first.  Nothing beats good instruction and that is the starting point to becoming a good basketball player.

If you are a parent coach you can also greatly benefit from our instructional basketball videos.  Now understand this -  you can go on YouTube and watch a bunch of drills but you won't see how coaches break down and teach the game like they do in our videos.

Here is what I would suggest to you:

1. If you are a parent trying to help your child take a good look at our Youth Basketball Videos.

2. If you are also coaching you should start renting our DVDs by mail and really learn the game and how to teach it like the Top College Coaches do.  You'll run more efficient practices and speed up the learning process for your players.

Randy Erickson Complete Youth Basketball Offense from $16.99 $39.99
  Looking for a youth basketball offense that you can actually run and run it against any defense?  Then Complete Youth Basketball Offense is for you.  Veteran youth basketball coach Randy Erickson will teach you simple yet effective offenses including a fastbreak into the offenses. Whether or not you have coached youth basketball before, Complete Youth Offense provides simplified offenses that both the coach and player can pick up quickly. The offenses promote team play and fundamental skills of basketball. Your players won't just be learning to go to "spots" but will actually learn to play and think the game. The offenses are broken down into Breakdown Drills that will teach your team the offenses from the ground up. So even if you don't always have enough players to go 5 on 5, you can still work on the offense.  Complete Youth Offense will keep things simple yet allow enough complexity that you can add features as your team develops. This DVD is perfect for beginngers up to junior high. Youth Basketball Offense Vs. Zone The DVD includes simple zone offense that will keep your players moving and the defense guessing.  Zone offense shouldn't be overly complicated and Randy Erickson will keep it simple yet effective.   Youth Basketball Offense Vs. Man to Man Defense Youth offense should be a continuity offense that keeps running and doesn't break down.  This DVD gives you simple man to man youth basketball offenses that won't teach your players to be robots but instead teach them to read and react to the defense.  The worst mistake you can make as a youth basketball coach is to teach your players a bunch of plays that they have to remember.  Don't be that Coach! Youth Basketball Fastbreak Offense Also included is a youth basketball fastbreak offense that will allow you to transition from defense to offense and get easy scores.  The reality in youth basketball is that transition offense is more important that set offense because the game is so chaotic and scoring in transition is easier than running a set offense. Use the fastbreak offense from Randy Erickson to look for that initial quick score down the court and if that doesn't work you'll be right into your set offense.

Randy Erickson Beginning Basketball for Youth Basketball Coaches from $16.99 $39.99
Beginner Basketball Drills for Youth Players  For beginning coaches and players Teach the fundamentals correctly from the beginning Multiple camera angles, on screen graphics, & exciting presentation Easy to follow instruction Top Ten Youth Coaching Tips You've just volunteered to coach your child's youth basketball team. What do you do now? How are you going to run a practice? How are you going to teach the players the fundamentals of the game? How will you make your players better? Get Randy's Plan for Beginner Basketball Drills Many parents who choose to coach a youth basketball team just wing it and use the knowledge they have gained from playing many years ago. This method usually shortchanges the players, even if the parent is well meaning. Many parents won't volunteer to coach their child's team because they cringe at the thought of dealing with a group of young children. A blueprint to coaching the fundamentals is necessary to being a good youth coach and having a successful season. Even if you have limited basketball experience you now can coach your youth basketball team like a pro. Here's the secret to being a great youth coach - "Just focus on teaching the fundamentals." If you teach the kids how to dribble, pass, shoot, catch the ball, and play defense, you'll be successful. You aren't going to have to get out the coaching board and start drawing up Xs and Os on the sideline very often, because pretty much 6th grade and under, youth players will struggle with any basketball concept if they can't execute the basic fundamentals. Now you can go on YouTube and get a bunch of random drills and you'll just be doing drills without an overall plan.  What Randy's vdieo will give you is a complete look at how to run a youth basketball practice that goes beyond what drills to do. You'll see Randy's progression of beginner basketball drills and how they fit together into teaching players how to learn the fundamentals of basketball.  If you go to YouTube you'll just get a bunch of videos but no coordinated plan and method of teaching and learning. Beginner Basketball Drills will help you teach the fundamentals correctly and give you the blueprint to having a successful season.  Order Beginner Basketball Drills today.

Choose PayPal Credit on Checkout for 6 Months No Interest Financing How the iC3 Rebounder Changes the Game Get up more shots and stop chasing basketballs with the IC3 basketball rebounder. Along with more reps your arc will also improve with the net which catches made and missed shots. The ball returns to you via the ramp which rotates 180 degrees so you can have the ball returned to you anywhere on the court. The IC3 fits easily on most home basketball systems and even many indoor systems. For indoor baskets, if the backboard is 60 inches or greater you do not need to use the telescoping arm as the unit will be fine without it. The IC3 Return System in our videos below features a 72 inch out basketball system and does use the telescoping pole for even extra support. A Special Message from Coach Chris Hi there! I'm Coach Chris, Owner of HoopsKing, and am guessing you are the parent of a basketball player that you'd like to see succeed on the court. You want to see them make shots in games and even hit that game winning shot to win the big game. I'm sure your player dreams of that too. Well, there is only one way to get there and that's to practice shooting.  Getting an iC3 Shot Rebounder for your basketball player is a tremendous investment in your child, their game, and their dreams. The iC3 Shot Rebounder will speed up their shot development because they will be getting up more shots in less time. Their confidence will increase and they will make more shots in games. Let's face it. Most kids don't practice shooting outside of basketball practice. The great shooters are practicing outside of their normal practice getting up hundreds of extra shots a day. The iC3 Shot Rebounder will make this much easier to accomplish as a player can easily get up several hundred shots in just a matter of minutes - less than half an hour easy! So if you want to see your child succeed on the court, make more shots in games, score more points, the iC3 is a no-brainer investment. I mean think about it. How much do you spend on shoes for your player? How many pair do you buy in a year? You are probably already approaching the cost of the iC3 Shot Rebounder in shoes in a single year and they don't last year after year like the iC3 will. Same for Basketball Camps. How much is your child really going to improve over the course of 3 days or so? Not a lot compared to the amount of money you shell out for camps. It's consistent repetition day after day, month after month, year after year and that's what the iC3 will bring to the table. Gain an advantage on the competition and give your child an edge that is a very small investment that will pay off in the short term and the long term. Sincerely, Coach Chris P.S. I've used the iC3 Shot Rebounder for 7 years and counting with my daughter who earned a college basketball scholarship in part to the hundreds of thousands of shots she got up with the iC3. P.S.S. Need extra time to pay for the iC3? Just use PayPal on checkout and apply for the 6 month financing and the iC3 is less than $60/month for 6 months. Big Results are Coming for You! Captures Makes & Misses - Why spend time chasing basketballs when you can be getting up more shots? Shoot 180 Degrees - Chute turns 180 degrees allowing you to shoot from any spot on the court. Improves Shooting Arc - No more flat, line drive shots with the iC3. Complete 1 hour of Shooting in just 20 Minutes Fits most home basketball systems & even many indoor systems Has the major functionality (capturing Makes & Misses) as the industrial machines that cost $5000+.

Many customers state they wish they would have ordered it sooner. See all our reviews here. How Long Will the iC3 Rebounder Last & Can It Stay Outside? The iC3 Rebounder will last many years. Probably longer than your child will play basketball! It can stay outside and is very durable but like anything (i.e., car) left outside the elements will wear on it. We suggest bringing the iC3 inside during months you won't be using it to keep it in the best shape possible. The net is heavy duty and the HoopsKing gang has had the same one for 7 years and counting. Will the iC3 Fit My Hoop? Can I Travel with the iC3 Shooting Machine?

Chris Hungerford Daddy-Daughter-Father-Son Basketball Workout from $16.99 $39.99
Teach Your Child the Fundamentals of Basketball the Correct Way From the Beginning to Give them an Edge on the Competition Special Message from Coach Chris Hi, I'm guessing if you are on this page you are a parent of a young basketball player and you'd like to help your child with learning the game of basketball. Maybe you aren't sure where to start, how long to practice, or what drills to do with them. And that's ok. Even if you haven't played basketball yourself you are going to be able to teach your child the fundamentals that will get them ahead of the competition. Now many parents think that they can just put their child into a basketball league and the coach will teach them what they need to know. Nothing could be further from the truth. You see, most youth coaches are parent volunteers and have had little experience playing or coaching, and even then teaching the skills is still a different job. Most youth teams get concerned with plays or offenses instead of focusing on developing the skills of the players. That's where you come in and need to help your child develop the skills that will separate them from the other children quickly and put them on the path to success in basketball. And I've taken all I've learned over my 20+ years of coaching and teaching so you don't have to spend time researching the most effective ways to teach your child how to shoot, dribble, pass, get past defenders, and more! I've designed the Daddy Daughter/Father Son Basketball Workout to build the foundation of your child's game. If your child learns to do the fundamental skills of basketball correctly from the beginning, they will have an advantage over children who do not learn the fundamentals the correct way from the start. Here is what I'm going to help you teach your child to do.. LEARN TO SHOOT CORRECTLY & QUICKLY - Teach your child to shoot the basketball correctly. A simple 10-15 minute workout will have your child shooting the basketball with perfect form. BE GOOD WITH BOTH HANDS - Don't let the "Dribble Gap" develop in your child. Start your child on the path to ambidexterity at a young age and being able to beat defenders with either hand. DON'T THROW THE BALL AWAY - Learn fundamental passing skills as well as how to pass the basketball against pressure. LEARN TO BEAT DEFENDERS OFF THE DRIBBLE - Offensive moves are broken down so that beginners can easily learn the footwork and get a lot of repetitions in a short time. DRIBBLING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL AS A BEGINNER - Don't let game time be the only time your child brings the ball up the court. Full Court dribbling must be worked on in practice. FUN GAMES TO PLAY - Coach Chris includes various fun games throughout the DVD to play with your child that will have them laughing and having fun - as well as getting better at basketball. Perfect for K-6 basketball players or anyone who has never played before. Here is a preview of the shooting workout I teach. I used it with all of my children and I can tell you that they were the best shooters on their teams and usually the best shooter in any game. This simple to follow and short workouts will have your child shooting with great form in as little as two weeks and just 15 minutes a day. Nearly 2 Hours of Instruction to Use for Years I've put great detail into the video so you can easily learn everything you need to know to help your child become the best basketball player they can be. Make no mistake, this isn't just basic information but detailed instruction to really separate your child from the pack and get them off to a great start in basketball so they will fall in love with the game. Bottom line this isn't a video you will watch once. You'll come back to it week after week, month after month, and year after year to keep developing your child. Order or download your copy today and help your child reach their potential on the basketball court. Here is What Others Say About the Workout...
