Daddy-Daughter/Father-Son Basketball Workout

This is the form you will be able to teach your child right at home - even if you never played yourself!

Coach Chris reviews the drills for left handed shooters and any adjustments they should make. Even right handed shooters can do the shooting workout left handed if they want to develop their weak hand for shooting lay ups, passing, & dribbling.

Here a mistake is made during the workout. It's pointed out as it's likely your child will make the same mistake.

No Panic Lay-ups is a fun drill (See Smile Above) that will get your child laughing and having a good time.

Is that basket low? Yes, and it should be if you want your child to learn to make weak hand and even strong hand lay-ups. Start them on a low basket so strength isn't an issue and they will perfect their form. Sooner than you think, they'll be doing it correctly on a 10 foot basket too.

We didn't erase the basketball from this picture - there isn't one. When starting out learning the moves, it's important to get a feel and learn the footwork. This makes it easier for your child to learn and not have to worry about dribbling and losing the ball.

After some practice on just the movement and footwork we add the ball in. You can get in a lot of reps in a short time by just making the move by the defender (chair).

Here is the Break Down section that will show you what to watch for when doing the Chest Pass with your child.

Here is a tip that appears right in the middle of a drill. We freeze the action to point out the key points of the drill. Then the action resumes.

It's one thing to play catch, but eventually you are going to have to pass the basketball in a game against defense. This drill will have your child being strong with the ball, on balance, pivoting, and throwing accurate passes. It's also a lot of fun with the bag providing contact.

See the smile? This drill is meant to be fun and work on skills at the same time.

The Baseball/Softball game really teaches your child to change direction and be explosive. It's also a lot of fun!

Some of the moves don't even require that your child be able to dribble well with their weak hand. Coach Chris has included some strong hand only moves so your child can start making moves in games right away

The drills are over and it's time to see what your child has. Coach Chris covers how to beat defenders all throughout the Full Court and Moves section.

Here is an example of what we are going for in the full court. Eyes up and pushing the ball out in front of the body.

Here is another example of where we freeze the action and point out important teaching points.

Explanations of why to do things are all throughout the DVD. It's important to tell your child Why to do something, not just tell them how and to do it.

Does Coach Chris have a twin? No but he does have the ability to freeze time to break down the game of basketball.

Coach Chris breaks down drills all throughout the DVD pointing out fine details that are usually not taught to players at any level. Learn these details early and advance to the head of the class!

Here is an example of the high level of teaching on the DVD. When doing the crossover you don't want your hand on top of the ball but on the side so you can quickly cross it to the other side. Many young children put their hand on top of the ball and plop it straight down. This makes the dribble much slower and less effective.
