Coaching

Was it peer pressure?  Did you volunteer?  Would the kids not play if you didn't coach?  I know exactly how you feel.  Five days before basketball started I had to coach 1st and 2nd graders that I have never met.   I'll tell you my story on the coaching page and some helpful hints.

Stretching and Pilates for Basketball Players

All basketball players should stretch out before a game even if it has to be done at home.  Most players think if they stretch their legs they are good to go.  A player should stretch their legs, back, arms, neck and shoulders.  Pilates is also a great way for a player to learn the proper stretching techniques.  If a player stretches out before a game, they are less likely to suffer a cramp, injury or strain.  Please check out this youtube video:
