Helpful to better understand drills and practice flow

I got most of my ideas for my summer rec bball class from this book. Good ideas for beginner and intermediate kids. Some of the drills could be used at a Junior High and High School level.

Quick read. Practical. Clear. Lifesaving if you've found yourself coaching a youth basketball with no experience playing, little knowledge of the game and short notice.
