Question
For 3-5 year olds who can't shoot what should be done to improve there shot?
What type of drills should I take them through durning camp.
Hi Chris,
I think that 3-5 year olds is to young for drills. Just make it fun! I have never heard of a basketball camp for 3-5 year olds. You don't want to discourage the kids and they will loose interest if you are making them practice drills. I think most children that age are playing with nerf ball basketballs. There is plenty of time for drills and practice, just make what ever you do with them fun!
