Saturday brought another practice for the 7-9 year old Bulls. I had done a little research before this practice to see if I could pick up a few drills to run with the kids. Man, there is a lot of stuff out there. I found a couple that I liked.
The first one was a one on one layup drill. You give one kid the ball almost at halfcourt. You line up the other kid behind them, like about 5 feet. I then say GO. The kid with the ball dribbles as quickly as they can to try to make a layup before the defender can catch up and/or try to block their shot. It’s a great drill for this age group. First lesson is to go directly at the hoop if you have that opportunity. No dribbling around in a circle; straight line at the hoop. Second lesson is to take the open shot when you have it. There may not be many of those, but when they do occur, and they will, I need the kid, whoever it is, to take that open shot. Finally, it’s good to feel that pressure of the defender. It’s more useful that just running a layup drill, with 2 lines on either side of the bucket.
The second one was a 3 on 2 drill. The object of this drill is to promote movement on offense, and of course, passing. Having an extra kid on offense means that somebody will be open. Moving around, and moving that ball around is key. Making good passes, and then taking good shots will be very important in this league. There will be lots of turnovers normally. If we could limit those turnovers, that’s a start. There will be lots of shots missed this year as well. If we could take “good” shots, then our FG % should be better.

They wanted to play knockout; they tried explaining it to me, but I’m not really sure how it works. I’m sure it’s simple. We tried it for a minute, but then I went back to what I wanted to do. I think we have a decent team; still haven’t seen two of the kids on our team yet. We may have a better team than I think… Although the other team practicing in the same time slot as us, on the other side of the gym, looked pretty impressive… and by impressive, I mean they had size, certainly more size than us. But size isn’t everything, although in a 7-9 year old kid league, it goes pretty far.
We got our uniforms and schedules, so that’s good. Of course we have the first game on the schedule this Wednesday night at 715pm. Almost game time… It’s the Bulls vs the Warriors to kick off the season. Hopefully it’s nothing like that matchup last year in the NBA… Let’s go Bulls!
