Question
Hi

Answer
Hi Chris,

I'm not really not an expert when it comes to basketball development even though i have done some coaching. However, since it's summer time, now would be a great time to get a small basketball hoop for the pool if you have one, or if you know of someone thas has a pool. It's fun, and it can teach them at the same time. Go out and buy a mini basketball and begin teaching them how to dribble. Then I would also go out and buy like a Jordan Jammer mini basket hoop for the house. Just slowly start developing each skill; shooting, dribbling, passing the ball. See how they like it. 2 is kind of young, but, by 5 years old they already have leagues for that age group, normally called mity mites, and then pee wees. Get them involved in that too.

Good Luck.
