So yesterday we won overwhelmingly because of our offense and aggressive kids. I tried the matching up and the get back to the paint on defense. The majority of their scoring came from jump shots just above or at the free throw line. Kids remember spots to get to I think. So go to the paint then match up literally meant crowd the paint until you see your man. Towards the end of the game I did find that my team started communicating on who gets who. I will build on that and in transition first stop the ball then match up. Somebody says I got the ball then they call who they have. Didn’t matter if it was their original assignment or not. That was our first game so we will see if we can perfect it by next game. Hope that helps.

What ages do you have? Our first game is tomorrow and I have U9 which are 7-9 year olds. I will let you know what works best for my group tomorrow. I would imagine it would depend on the level of understanding they have of the game. I have all levels so I will have to do it after each stop in play and teaching them during the game.

Thank you so much for your quick response. I honestly didn’t expect that! Is that course you mentioned included with the subscription? It has a payment showing. Thank you for your help on this!

My team isn’t ready for R&R quite yet. I found out that most have never played the game so I had to go back to the basics on dribbling and passing and that type of thing. I think when they are ready I will start in order with the 1st. Trying to explain it and get them started in the time that their attention spans allow is a challenge though.
