As a first time youth league (age 9-11) coach and someone who had played quite a bit of basketball, this video was superb. It demonstrated the basic skills to work on with these boys who are just learning fundamentals. There were good drills to help them work on the basics. I highly recommend this book to coaches of boys in this age group. I went out and purchased the second volume which included more drills which were excellent for building basic skills.

I'm a former college (La Salle University) and professional player (Europe 8 years).
I'm working on my masters degree in education and did a presentation on the similarities of coaching and teaching. I looked for an instructional video to show the class and thought It would be a good addition to my collection of books and videos. I can not believe this video is rated so high on this web site. The coach I'm sure means well and seems to know the game, but talk about taking the FUN out of Fundamental. The kids look like they'd rather be somewhere else. Most of the drills have the majority of the kids standing around with arms crossed looking dead. The coach almost put me to sleep.
I'm sure they ment well, but save your money.
