Ponytails To The Basket: A Curriculum For Grade School Basketball Coaches

You've just been "volunteered" to coach your child's grade school basketball team...what now? Coach Joel's book lays out a teaching curriculum for how to develop your players through their formative grade school years and prepare them for the next levels of basketball. What skills should be taught in 3rd grade, and what should wait until 6th? How should you plan your practices? How can you (and CAN'T you) be helpful to them during the middle of a game? Coach Joel walks you through practices, games, film, communication strategies, how to teach team offense and defense, and even how to handle parents and referees! This book is a must-have for any parent-turned-coach who wants to do right by their kids at the grade school level.
