Youth Basketball: How To Conduct A Parent-Child Clinic
I spent several years administering youth basketball programs. Prior to each season I would introduce a Parent-Child Clinic for new players and their parents. I found this to be both a successful teaching method and a bonding experience for the participants.
I wanted to not only teach basketball skills but also skills for living, so I introduced to all the players, coaches and parents assembled the 5 Spiritual concepts shown below. I use the acronym, F.U.N.C.T., in order to remember and be able to teach these concepts more readily. My purpose here was to help recognize and reduce/eliminate the negative attitudes about competition that adults bring into youth sports. I realized too, that the administration, coaches and parents must have/work at having the qualities represented by these letters for optimal enjoyment and success of this youth/parent activity .
F= Forgiveness of myself and others.
U= Unconditional love.
N= Non-judgmental.
C= Compassion.
T= Truthful at all times.
(This simple but powerful lesson for being and becoming is now part of every lecture, team handout, and indeed, my way of life. Living and teaching these spiritual ‘laws’ is, by far, more difficult than teaching any other aspect of the game.)
I’ve run these clinics with as many as sixty kids, which means that with each young player I also had a parent. Imagine 120 people on a gym floor, sixty balls going, and the amount of noise. While it wasn’t total chaos, I do prefer 20 or fewer players.
This is more manageable and easier on my voice and my sanity. Also, with the average gym having six baskets, I don’t want people waiting to accomplish something requiring the use of a basket.
The usual age for these clinics is 8 or 9 to 10-11 years old (if the 11 y.o. is a newbie). Each child is required to bring a parent who will participate with them. Sometimes the child does not have a parent who can make it, but they must be with a participating adult. In this environment, the parent learns more about the game and will be able to help the child to practice at home. Importantly, the parent will be able to understand what the child is doing when playing in a game and able to better understand what is happening while a game is being played. (I remember how gratifying it was, when on one occasion I had a single mom who had never played the game, out on the floor in her gym shoes going through everything with her daughter. She was having a great time and said she had learned so much.)
We start with a group meeting in the bleachers. A clipboard and pencil is given to each parent. On it is an introduction to what we are going to do, and of what my intention is for doing each drill. There will always be something included regarding the spiritual nature of what we are about. We’ll touch on drugs, violence, alcohol, language and demeanor. I speak about what a better world we would live in when we believe that we are all One; That we do not have to be better than anyone in order to be the best we can be; and I’ll also include the practice of F.U.N.C.T. (as shown above). There is an outline of the order in which we will conduct the clinic, so that all the parents have to do is write notes next to each item. (I always emphasize teaching/coaching points and give more time to write these.) The parents will learn through hands-on experience, participating and taking notes alongside their children, rather than being bystanders.
I explain that, throughout the clinic, whenever the whistle blows all balls are to stop bouncing and that everyone is to face me to find out why the whistle was blown. I announce that the parents are my assistant coaches today and I need their help to ensure that everything flows smoothly and on time. (Two hours is max for this young of a group, so I have to have pared down all the skills that will be covered and the amount of information to be given.)
The purpose here is to build a foundation of skills with which to play the game of basketball. We’ll do things in a sequential manner, using a building block method. This will help the parents understand the different stages of development. For each player, our focus is always on getting the pieces right rather than worrying about the whole game. By focusing on the pieces, the game will emerge at each child’s readiness level. (“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear!”)
Parents bond with their sons or daughters as they share the drills. When parents and children work on the skills together, encouragement, praise, patience and positive reinforcement should be administered in healthy doses. We must realize that positive recognition is a tonic for self-esteem and that each child (indeed, the parent too) progresses with a different level of ability and learning curve.
It has always been richly rewarding to be part of the magic that takes place during these clinics. I can’t even begin to describe how it feels. Parents seem to enjoy it as much, or even more, than the kids. To see the parents afterward supporting their children at practices and games is it’s own reward.

Basketball Teams In Lombardy $8.69 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Olimpia Milano is a Lega Basket Italian professional basketball team, based in Milan, Italy, founded in 1936 by Milan businessman Adolfo Bogoncelli. Its colors are red and white, and the team is sometimes referred as “Scarpette Rosse” (Little Red Shoes) because team officials imported from the United States red Converse All-Star shoes for players. The tag line stuck, and the nickname is still used by many fans today. As usual in the Italian league, their sponsorship has kept the team name changing frequently. From 1936 until 1955, Borletti sponsored the club, then sponsorship changed to Simmenthal until 1973. Other famous sponsorships were Billy, Simac, Tracer and Philis in the Eighties. For past club sponsorship names, see the list below. It’s the most titled basketball team in Italy, having won 25 Italian Championships, 3 European Champions Cups, 4 Italian National Cups, 1 Intercontinental Cup, 3 Saporta Cups, 2 Kora Cups and many other youth titles. Well-known players that have played with the team have included: Bill Bradley, Antoine Carr, Mike D’Antoni, Earl Cureton, Joe Barry Carroll, Bob McAdoo, Dino Meneghin, Ken Barlow, Albert King, Marc Iavaroni, Aleksandar Djordjevic, Antonio Davis, Darryl Dawkins, Gregor Fuka, Dejan Bodiroga, Rolando Blackman, Anthony Bowie, Thurl Bailey, Beno Udrih, Danilo Gallinari and lately Maurice Taylor. Foreign players began playing in 1957, and the team kept winning the LEGA Basket Serie A championship of Italian basketball, with players from the 1960s including Nane Vianello, Sandro Riminucci, Pieri, and Bill Bradley. In the 60′s and the 1970s three teams were fighting across Europe for supremacy: Olimpia Milano, Ignis Varese, and Real Madrid; Pallacanestro Varese and Olimpia Milano were arch-rivals, as … More: |

Game On: The All-American Race to Make Champions of Our Children $0.25 A first-of-its-kind investigative book on the least examined and most important topic in sports today. Youth sports isn’t just orange slices and all-star trophies anymore. It’s 14-year-olds who enter high school with a decade of football experience, 9-year-olds competing for national baseball championships, 5-year-old golfers who shoot par, and toddlers made from sperm donated (for a fee) by elite college athletes. It’s a year-round "travel team" in every community–and parents who fear that not making the cut in grade school will cost their kid the chance to play in high school. In short, a landscape in which performance often matters more than participation, all the way down to peewee basketball.Much as Fast Food Nation challenged our eating habits and Silent Spring rewired how we think about the environment, Tom Farrey’s Game On will forever change the way we look at this desperate culture besotted by the example of Tiger Woods. An Emmy award-winning reporter, Farrey examines the lives of child athletes and the consequences of sorting the strong from the weak at ever earlier ages: fewer active kids, testier sidelines, rising obesity rates, and U.S. national teams that rarely win world titles.He dives into the world of these games that are played by more than 30 million boys and girls, and along the way uncovers some surprising truths. When the very best athletes enter organized play. The best approach to coaching them. And the powerful influence of wealth and genetics. Farrey has written a surprising, alarming, thoughtful, and ultimately empowering book for anyone who wants the best for the newest generation of Americans, as athletes and citizens. |

Excerpt: Dejan Bodiroga (Serbian Cyrillic: ; born March 2, 1973 in Zrenjanin, Vojvodina, Serbia, Yugoslavia) is a retired Serbian professional basketball player. He was listed at 2.05 m (6 ft 8 ¾ in) tall and 110 kg (243 lbs.) and was a small forward-shooting guard. Bodiroga first started playing structured basketball at the age of 13. He enrolled in Zrenjanin’s Mainac (Servo Mihalj) basketball section, under supervision of local basketball enthusiast Rade Prvulov. At the age of fifteen, he sprung up to 2.05m, and was quickly incorporated into the first team squad, coached by Miodrag Sija Nikoli, a former OKK Beograd and FSFR Yugoslav national team player in the 1960s. His domestic career took off when, at 17, he was noticed by Kreimir osi at a friendly youth tournament that featured Mainac and KK Zadar among others, where Bodiroga scored 32 points in a game that pitted two teams. osi then brought Bodiroga for a week-long basketball camp in Zadar and eventually persuaded Bodiroga’s family to allow their son to move away to Zadar. In the meantime Bodiroga signed a pre-contract with KK Vojvodina so that when he finally went to Zadar in autumn 1989 he wasn’t right away eligible for the first team, meaning that he first worked with coach Josip Pino Grdovi in the club’s youth sections while simultaneously attending high school. Afer a year he was allowed to be moved into the full squad, then under head coach Slavko Trnini. After just one season in the first team, Bodiroga’s stay on the Dalmatian coast came to a premature end when the conflict that pitted Croats and Serbs against each other inflamed in May-June 1991. The country was breaking up, war was about to start raging, and basketball quickly became an afterthought. Being a player from Serbia in a Cro… More: |
