Basket Drills
Here are a Few Sample Basketball Drills for Children and Some Tips to Follow When Using the Drills
Kid Basketball Drill #1 - Figure 8 Dribble
Drill Purpose
This drill will improve your players dribbling ability, increase finger tip strength, and teach them how to change direction with the ball.
Instructions
1. You want to start with a wide base (feet spread slightly further than shoulder width apart)
2. Start with your right hand, dribble around the back of your right leg.
3. When you feel like you can not dribble any further with your right hand, cross frontwards between your legs to your left hand.
4. Dribble around the outside and the back of your left leg until you can not go any further, then cross frontwards between your legs to your right hand.
5. Repeat the process. With your dribble, it should form an imaginary sideways 8.
6. After doing this for a little while, go the opposite way. Instead of crossing frontwards between your legs, cross backwards between your legs.
Points of Emphasis
continually tell your players to...
• At first, you may want to start this drill by looking at the ball.
• As you improve, try to keep your head up.
• Always use your fingertips.
• Dribble as quickly as possible around your legs, while under control.
• You should take 4 to 5 dribbles around each leg.
Tip #1 - This drill may take awhile for a player to get accustomed to, but if he/she continues to practice this drill. The player's dribbling will get much better.
Tip #2 - Variations:
- Dribble the ball slightly above your knees.
- Put one-hand behind your back and try to perform the dribble with one hand.
- Try walking up and down the court while performing this dribble.

Kids Basketball Drill #2 - Defensive Slide
Drill Purpose
This drill will improve defensive form and quickness.
Instructions
1. Have the desired number of players line up on opposite sides of the lane, with the same number of players in each lane, if possible.
2. When the whistle blows, the first player in each line will sprint to the free throw line and make a 180 degree turn, thus facing the baseline. He/she will then do foot fires (tap his/her feet in place) as fast as possible until the whistle is blown again.
3. When the whistle is blown again, the first group will slide to the sideline closest to them. The second group will repeat what the first group did in step 2.
4. The whistle is blown again, and the first group will slide to the mid-court line. The second group will repeat what group 1 did in step 3, and group 3 will do what group 2 did in step 3.
5. Repeat this process until all groups have arrived at the mid-court line, and then start all over again if deemed necessary.
Points of Emphasis
continually tell your players to...
• Keep their head up when sliding.
• Keep their arms out when sliding.
• Avoid clicking their feet together when sliding.
• Work on defensive form first, and once technique is correct, then worry about speed.
Motivation / Teaching Tips
Tip #1 - This is not a competition, so let your kids know that form is much more important than speed initially.
Tip #2 - Let your players know that defense is just as important as scoring baskets, and a good defender is just as valuable to the team as a good scorer.

PHYSICAL FITNESS
Physical Fitness
Physical fitness is an attribute required for service in virtually all military forces.
Physical fitness comprises two related concepts: general fitness (a state of health and well-being) and specific fitness (a task-oriented definition based on the ability to perform specific aspects of sports or occupations).
In previous years, fitness was commonly defined as the capacity to carry out the day’s activities without undue fatigue. However, as automation increased leisure time, changes in lifestyles following the industrial revolution rendered this definition insufficient. These days, physical fitness is considered a measure of the body’s ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hyper kinetic diseases, and to meet emergency situations.
COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
Physiological Health Related Skill Related Sports
Metabolic Body Composition
Agility
Morphological Cardiovascular Fitness
Balance
Individual Bone Integrity
Flexibility
Motor coordination
Muscular Endurance
Power
Strength
Speed-Reaction time
Other
Accordingly, a general-purpose physical fitness program must address the following essentials[2]:
• Cardiovascular Fitness
• Flexibility Training
• Strength Training
• Muscular Endurance
• Body Composition
• General Skill Training
However, along with these essential components, a comprehensive fitness program that is tailored to an individual will probably focus on one or more specific skills[3], and on age-[4] or health-related needs such as bone health[5]. Many sources also cite mental and emotional health as an important part of overall fitness. This is often presented in textbooks as a triangle made up of three sub-sections, which represent physical, emotional, and mental fitness. Hence, one may be physically fit but may still suffer from a mental illness or have emotional problems. The "ideal triangle" is balanced in all areas. Physical fitness can also prevent or treat many chronic health conditions brought on by unhealthy lifestyle or aging[6]. Working out can also help people sleep better[citation needed]. To stay healthy it's important to participate in physical activity[7].
Specific fitness
Specific or task-oriented fitness is a person's ability to perform in a specific activity with a reasonable efficiency: for example, sports or military service. Specific training prepares athletes to perform well in their sports.
Examples are:
• 400m sprint - in a sprint the athlete must be trained to work anaerobically throughout the race.
• Marathon - in this case the athlete must be trained to work aerobically and their endurance must be built-up to a maximum.

Obese ba o overweight
Obese ba o overweight
Madalas kapag may nakikita tayong mataba, agad binabansagang “obese” o “overweight”. Pero magkaiba ang mga salitang ito, Nalalaman kung obese o overweight ang isang tao sa pamamagitan ng body mass index (BMI) O PROPORSYON NG BIGAT NG TAO SA KANYANG TANGKAD.
