Basketball Skills for Kids (Ages 6-8): Dribbling, Shooting & Passing

Question
What's the best method to teach my kids how to play basketball [i.e. dribbling, taking eyes off ball when dribbling, shooting and passing?

Thanks so much

Answer
1st make sure they use a youth sized basketball and shoot at a 8ft rim.

Let them bounce the ball counting each bounce - try for 10/25/50/100 in a row. Do 1 hand at a time. Then do both hands alternating/crossing over. Dribble thru cones/obsticles while counting how many fingers you hold up!

Shoot using the backboard.

Good Luck!
