This tape has energy. It is easy to see that coach Andersen has worked with a lot of young basketball players. My boys love the easy way this tape demonstrates the game. I give it 5 stars because it is the best. My boys and I watch it together, even I have learned from this tape. If you are looking for a tape to help develop correct skills this is it!

My daughter is 9 years old and has been playing basketball for a year. I purchased this video as a supplement to her regular practice and coaching. It must be said that there are not a lot of instructional basketball videos out there targeted at girls, so in that regard this fit the bill. And while the drills were basic enough and the instruction solid, in the end this video doesn't do a whole lot to hold viewer interest or attention. It's probably most effective for a new coach or parent without a strong basketball background who wants to work with their daughter and is seeking ideas. Also, if your kid is like mine, sometimes it really helps to hear the same thing from another source. The pace of the video is slow and the monotone voice-over repititious, but in the end -- as I said -- there isn't a lot out there to choose from. So, would I buy it again? Yes. BTW, if you're looking for a great basketball/sports movie for girls and teens, I highly recommend "Love and Basketball."

THANK YOU---THANK YOU---THANK YOU---Basketball Camp 101 is the best! Not only has it taught my little kids the basics of basketball, it has helped the older kids fine tune their skill. The step-by-step demonstrations are easy to understand and the slow motion makes it even clearer. Not only does this teach...it is fun to watch. My kids used to sit on the sidelines and watch others play...NO MORE...this video has given them the confidence to step forward and join the fun!

I RECOMMEND THIS VIDEO TO EVERYONE...GREAT FOR ANY AGE!!!

I never was BAD at basketball, but I sure wasn't good, Basketball Camp 101 has shown me the keys to having a great game, and how to use them, thank you.

Basketball Camp 101 is wonderful!!! My children watch it with their friends, run outside and practice the lesson, then come in and watch more. The door is opened and closed all day with the laughing future basketball stars. The only thing I need is a big screen tv on the lawn next to the hoop. It's really fun when the older kids, and parents from the neighorhood get involved. If you have young kids looking for something to do this is a great video for your collection...and it get's them outside!

Basketball Camp 101 was helpful the first day we watched it. My 5th grade daughter and I will watch sections of the tape, then talk about how the it's accomplished before going outside to practice. Coach Harry Anderson and his assistants make basic basketball easy to understand. I would have given the video five stars except for the music editing used. It's over-done and too loud in many instances: to the point where you have to guess what Coach Anderson is saying. We were looking for education, not hip hop noise.

This video covers all of the skills needed to help anyone become a better player. It uses easy to follow slowmotion demonstrations and diagrams. It helped my game.

Basketball Camp 101 is the best instructional video for anyone who would like to improve there skills on the court. It uses easy to follow visual diagrams and slowmotion demonstrations. It improved my game!
