Brief Book Summary:
Spectacular plays may make the highlight reels, but winning results from consistent execution of sound fundamentals. Youth Basketball Drills contains all the drills you need to develop the essential skills. Authors Burrall and Patrick Paye have outlined drills and variations that cover the entire scope of the game in both offense and defense. The book shows you how, when, and why to use each drill.
The progression of drills will help you develop your team from beginners to the advanced level, skill by skill. The essentials of basketball offense and defense are addressed, including drills for
• balance and agility,
• ballhandling,
• passing,
• cutting,
• screening,
• rebounding,
• shooting,
• defensive stance and footwork,
• individual moves, and
• team defense.
When you're coaching young players, it's important to start out right. Youth Basketball Drills gives you the know-how and practice tools to teach young players the fundamentals they need to excel.

The drills in this book are well organized and laid out so that the beginning coach can use them from the 6 year old beginning player up to championship caliber high school squads. I have been coaching youth basketball for over 23 years and this is one of the best instruction manuals I have used. Outstanding.

I've coached my son's team for three years as a dedicated parent, but my b-ball drills have been re-treads of my old Jr. & Sr. High drills. I looked for a book for awhile before finding this one; it has given me many fun & challenging drills easy enough for 9 - 11 year old boys with variations that expand as their skill level increases. I'd think that this book would be adequate at least through Middle School age. Perhaps the only caution is that this book assumes that the reader--if not the players--knows the game well. In other words, it is not a book to teach the coach the game.

I was new to coaching youth basketball and needed ideas for drills. This book was helpful with drills as well as good diagrams and explanations.
Rated by buyers -
This book is an excellent resourse for any coach. There is a chapter for each fundamental of the game. Each chaper has a nice progression of drills and a purpose behind each. Each individual drill has a referenced prerequisite section, a detailed break-down and diagram of the drill, and crucial teaching points as a ruberic. It also has a section to help you plan your practices for the entire season.
I have read many books on basketball instruction and this one is a must have.
