The book provides a wealth of information for coaches and players alike. It has incredible drills from today's top coaches and in addition to that there are quality nutrition and conditioning tips. Any player who has a desire to get to the next level needs to make this their bible! Coaches will enjoy using the drills every day in practice as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars COMPLETE DRILL BOOK FOR COACHES & PLAYERS AT ALL LEVELS, February 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Five-Star Girls' Basketball Drills (Paperback)

If you truly understand basketball then you truly understand Five-Star Basektball Camp. If you truly understand Five-Star Basketball Camp("Where the teaching never stops") then you will truly understand that this new book will do for the women's game what the their original drill book (Five-Star Basketball Drills, 1988) did for the men's game. I believe it will become the hottest selling basketball drill book to hit the market in sometime. This book is not only packed full of basketball drills to improve practices and produce better players, but also includes numerous adminstrative tips for coaches on how to prepare their teams to be successful. It also includes a chapter on two big aspects that seperate the women's game from the men's game; Condtioning & Nutrition. If you truly understand what coaching is then this book is a must for your Coaching Library!

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre and not really money well spent, August 15, 2006

Leave it if you don't love it (Peoria, Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Five-star Girls' Basketball Drills (Paperback)

I've read quite a few basketball drill books and since I am now coaching a girls' team I thought I would brush up on my knowledge base before the season started. I bought 5 books and this one was the worst of those. To be honest the diagrams are not good, there are many mistakes and the drills are not always explained thoroughly. Also, since there are several coaches that contributed to this book you can find the same drills listed again but with a different name. Not a well-written book. If you are thinking about a drills oriented book or one on general coaching (both x's and o's and teaching technique like shooting form, defense, etc.) I would suggest buying "The Complete Guide to Coaching Girls' Basketball" by Sylvia Hatchell. A much better book and for about the same price.
