Coaching Youth Basketball: Teaching Rebounding

(PRLEAP.COM) Coach Ronn Wyckoff continues to turn out e-books for novice or less experienced youth basketball coaches. His latest one, “Coaching Youth Basketball: Teaching Rebounding”, will appeal to that coaching niche because he literally tells, and demonstrates through diagrams, every step for teaching beginning players how to rebound. And, then he takes what he has presented and applies it for more capable coaches and players, so there is something in Teaching Rebounding for every level of experience.

"Teaching Rebounding" can help beginning coaches cut through the mystery of ‘how to teach’ and ‘what to do’, making sure every player is able to learn this important basketball skill.

Every individual and team aspect of teaching both offensive and defensive rebounding techniques and skills will be found in this e-Book. The book has just been introduced to the market and can be previewed at this site: http://www.top-basketball-coaching.com/teachingrebounding.

Coach Ronn addresses rebounding as one skill area that can make the difference between winning and losing close games. He suggests that players can learn to be good rebounders by learning to finesse into the best position to get the rebound. He teaches positioning techniques and body use skills that can enable average jumpers to become above-avarage rebounders. He states, that while jumping ability is a great attribute to have as a rebounder, not everyone can jump well. He goes on to say that jumping ability is greatly over-emphasized, while positioning and proper boxing-out techniques are more important, especially for young players.

Coach Ronn teaches the exercises and drills for rebounding from every position. He has used these teaching techniques successfully for more than 50 years of playing and coaching, and in teaching other coaches how to teach the game. Over his long career, he has devised, borrowed, honed and tweaked the things he teaches so readers can become stronger teachers or players of the game. His career experiences uniquely qualify him to compile all of the sensational basketball e-Books he has written. This library of work could be every youth basketball coach and player’s personal guide to basketball success.

All his e-Books, his powerful 4-hour teaching DVD, and information about his mentoring programs for both coaches and players can be found at his website, www.Top-Basketball-Coaching.com.

New E-Book From Coach Ronn

Here is a recent press release about my newest e-book release.

Coaching Youth Basketball: Teaching Moves With The Ball

(PRLEAP.COM) Right on the heels of publishing, Teaching Movement Without The Ball, Coach Ronn Wyckoff has brought his latest work, Coaching Youth Basketball: Teaching Moves With The Ball.

The two books were brought out nearly simultaneously in order to give players and coaches the basis for individual basketball play. Armed with the material in these two books, basketball coaches and players, especially those new to the game, will learn what the player with the ball should do, and at the same time, what the ball handler’s teammates should be doing to help and complement the offensive movement of the ball.

Coach Ronn points out that, on offense, if everyone handles the ball equally (which he also points out will never happen), players will spend about 80% of their time on offense without the ball.

His last book teaches how to move without the ball so a player can get the ball, and this book teaches the player what to do when they do have the ball.

Some coaches will want this book to perhaps reinforce what they may have known from earlier playing or coaching experiences, however, the new coach should find Teaching Moves With The Ball invaluable for getting the information to be able to teach young players what to do and how to do it, when the have the ball.

The author has used these teaching techniques successfully all over the world for more than 50 years of playing and coaching, and in teaching other coaches how to teach the game. Over his long career, he has devised, borrowed, honed and tweaked the things he teaches so readers can become stronger teachers or players of the game. His career experiences uniquely qualify him to compile all of the sensational basketball e-Books he has written.

This library of work should be every youth basketball coach and player’s personal guide to basketball success. The e-Book collection, along with Coach Ronn’s powerful 4-hour teaching DVD, and information about his mentoring programs for both coaches and players, can be found at his website, www.Top-Basketball-Coaching.com.

Coaching Youth Basketball: Teaching Movement Without The Ball—“Homework”

(PRLEAP.COM) Coach Ronn Wyckoff has just published his seventh e-Book in the basic basketball teaching series he has been writing for the past year. His latest book is entitled, Coaching Youth Basketball: Teaching Movement Without The Ball—“Homework”.

His goal in writing this series is to help both new or fairly new coaches and players be able to learn the fundamental aspects of the individual game.

While his writing is highly detailed, it is simply put so everyone in this novice niche can understand and practice what Coach Ronn is teaching.

In an earlier book he wrote about how to help young players get their bodies on balance and their movements under control. Now, he takes take these concepts into game action, covering moving without the ball, or what the author calls doing one’s “homework”.

Here, Coach Ronn covers what to do to get open to receive a pass, receiving the pass and then being able to protect the ball, and what the player who has just made the pass does next.

Complemented with pictures and diagrams, this book will help players to learn to move with a purpose, while trying to get open to receive a pass from another player who has the ball. "Movement Without The Ball", gives coaches the words and drills, in the highly detailed manner of teaching we’ve come to expect from Coach Ronn.

On the heels of this book, the author will very quickly publish the follow-up book to this one, in which he will detail what to do once a player has the ball. The two books together, when added to the basic skills of passing, dribbling, shooting and rebounding (which Coach Ronn has previously published), makeup what every player needs to know to be able to play the game.

The author has used these teaching techniques successfully for more than 50 years of playing and coaching, and in teaching other coaches how to teach the game. Over his long career, he has devised, borrowed, honed and tweaked the things he teaches so readers can become stronger teachers or players of the game. His career experiences uniquely qualify him to compile all of the sensational basketball e-Books he has written. This library of work should be every youth basketball coach and player’s personal guide to basketball success.

Beginning Basketball Coaching

When I was first starting out as a wet-behind-the-ears basketball coach, I had no real guidance about what to do. I had a basketball coaching course in college. I had played most of my life, but had no real concept of what to do as a coach. Today there is a wealth of information available for the beginning basketball coach, however a lot of it is too advanced for someone who may be just getting started. Those men, women, or teenagers who will be coaching youth teams need to be fed information relative to their own knowledge and level of experience, and to that of the youth they will be coaching. They need to learn how, what, and when to do the things relative to that sport. Then, they need to be able to translate this information into meaningful teaching activity for the youngsters.

Teaching requires that learning is taking place. Just going through motions isn’t teaching. Just telling or directing traffic is not teaching.

Let me make something clear right here—(for the rest of this article go to: Beginning Coaching)

Coaching Girls Basketball: Teaching "L", "X" and "Z" Moves in the Post

I find that teaching post play in basketball is a lot of fun and reaps great rewards for
the post players as well as the team. I find this especially rewarding when working
with players who would not be considered natural post players.

When coaching girls basketball vs. coaching boys basketball there is really
no difference in my approach. The strategies remain the same. Boys are stronger,
jump higher, move quicker and have usually a more diverse shooting arsenal. My
teaching methods remain the same, though, concentrating on fundamentals, defense
and discipline—the basis for my teaching philosophy found in my teaching DVD
and books—“Basketball On A Triangle: A Higher Level of Coaching and Playing”.

In teaching post play, unless a team’s strategy is to use a strong and fairly
stationary low post, I would have the post in continuous movement. I do this in
order to confound the defender and to constantly attempt to open up passing
angles. My “L”, “X” & “Z” patterns make it nearly impossible to hold a correct
defensive position all the time. This creates an advantage, or at least an equalizer,
for a smaller post player.

Youth Basketball Basics For Coaches and Players

Before I got into the competitive marketplace for online basketball, I did a lot of research of the sites I found on the web. I found that there are millions of web pages dealing with basketball related topics. Which sites are right for an individual coach or player depends on what that person is looking for. It could also depend on the individual’s level of understanding and skill for playing basketball or coaching basketball. A coach with some longevity in the game will probably not be interested in how to teach basic basketball fundamentals, while a coach starting out teaching young boys or girls will not require the sophistication of material the more experienced one will.

Basically, basketball coaches and players will have to sift through a myriad of websites to find answers for their particular sets of questions. The problem with many of the sites that I have investigated is that they mostly market the same basketball videos and DVDs. While they may have some good content to their sites, there is also a lot of redundancy making a lot for searchers to wade through. Read the rest of the article at:
