Good morning everyone!
I wanted to share something with you guys. As I always say about the Netherlands, basketball is here voluntarily. One benefit is everyone who helps, loves the sport because no one can do it for the money over here. One huge problem is, most trainers/coaches are working 40 hours beside basketball so they just give training and go home. I put a lot off my free time in basketball but not everyone is doing that and I can understand that, but that's also a pain in the ass for the development for players.
We train 2 times a week and one game almost every weekend. If we ask for a third training, most parents aren't really supportive about it. So what did we do, we have a moment in our training scheme for a shooting class. We made a scheme where the players can work on there own shot by themselves. Before I hear you think, no we don't let them just work by themselves without help from us.
We help them individually by what we see what is wrong with there shot because everyone got a different problem. We made a scheme with different spots that they can work on.
We made one moment in the week for our boys youth and one moment for our girls youth, we made it optional so it is an extra thing we can offer for the children who wants to grow an become better.
The day before yesterday, was the first session and I saw some problems and fixed them on the spot. In 90 minutes I changed these girls and gave them a boost, you should saw there faces!!! They were eager and happy to improve. I loved it!!!
So, we still can offer the third training in the week for the ones who wants and really help them forward, so I hope the class will grow every week so we can build something beautiful out off it!π₯
