Tiffany,
Here you go: Bounce ball, pass ball, throw ball into hoop. No, really, there are a multitude of basketball coaching resources available for all levels. Check out your local library, book store, or high school coach. Just one book on the basics should be enough to get you through your first season with kids this age. Also, can you recruit an experienced parent or two to help you out? Maybe your local middle school or high school has players willing to help and earn community service credit. Or check with your local Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts. Best advice: Keep it simple and keep it fun.

Tiffany,
I think we all wish there were more coaches with your fundamental understanding of the purpose of youth sport. We need more like you out there. Best of luck to you!

Wow, there really isn't much to add to that. I agree 100%. My philosphy is 1. Have Fun 2. Don't get hurt. 3. Play better today than you did yesterday. 4. Win. I let my players know that winning is not the most important thing. As long as they take care of the first three # 4 will come. Great job Jack. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving to you both.

I would do a google search on kids drills. I like to practice using three different rotating drills, use your parents, and rotate your kids to a new group every 15 minutes. This will keep your kids from standing around and getting bored. At this age building a good foundation is important, athletic stance, shuffle step, dribbling ,from a walk, with one hand then the other, having a job during the game ie. getting back on defense and finding your man. I share the same philosophy as the two prior comments, except for the winning part, they're all winners for trying something new. Most important, have fun, if you're not they're not, put on a happy face coach and have a blast!
