Join some of the nation's finest womens' coaches as they share the drills they use at the most premiere women's camp in the country. The book contains ten chapters (over 100 Drills) that examines everything from nutrition to skill development. Coaches sharing drills include Tara Van Derveer, Joe Ciampi, Matt Brzycki, Kristie Curry, and more.
If you truly understand basketball this book is even better than the First Edition. Although in-depth, this book is not complicated or hard to understand. It is a user friendly resource, that any coach or player, should possess. This book is a must for the beginner, intermediate and/or advanced player/coach.

I have coached girls basketball for the last 12 years at AAU and high school levels and am always looking for more drills to add to my practice plan. I have read through half the book and already marked more than 20 drills I plan to implement. These drills have the creativity I was looking for and are basic enough to not absorb a ton of practice time explaining. There are both team and individual drills that I have marked as very useful. The author did an excellent job of acquiring drills from several coaches from all over the country to compile this book. The only improvement needed is some of the drills lack detailed explanation.

I couldn't be happier with this book. It gave me many drills to use with my team from some of the best coaches in the game.
It's a great addition to any serious coach's library.

This book is packed with good drills and has some other helpful ideas and concepts. Though its marketed as a "girls" book, that's only because the drills are provided by those who are coaching girls' teams. This is an excellent resource for any coach to have on their shelf.

There are a great variety of drills from all over the country and different programs, and they encompass every skill development need and many possible numbers of players I could be working with at any one time. It is a great boost to my normal practice plan and drills.
