GAMES APPROACH TO TEACHING BASKETBALL SKILLS

When I speak with coaches about basketball development you'll hear me mention discovery based learning or games approach to teaching basketball.  This is an effective process of taking the drill out of basketball activities and putting the fun into development.  Different games that you've played as a kid can be modified to integrate basketball skill development for a different basketball learning experience than we had as kids.

Games approach also provides a great tool for coaches to load and modify to suit the needs of the group they are coaching.  I've personally had tremendous success with games approach to teaching basketball skills, game strategy amd tactics.

The attached video features the Master of Games Approach, Mike McKay.  Mike was a mentor coach of mine during my coach development and opened a new world of player development tools to me.  This stuff is gold for any coach!!!!  All NT coaches should make it a priority to take the time to watch. 

The video is an hour long, but you can easily watch small segments when you have time to watch. 

Enjoy!
