Basketball project V: Second and third trainings for trainers

During the second week of the program, we met on Tuesday and Thursday with our friends in Baptist. They kept showing interest and we went through more individual skills: dribbling and passing on Tuesday, and defending skills and pivots on Thursday. We agreed on teaching first dribbling and passing to children in Msitu, giving them the basic skills of movement before starting teaching shooting, lay-ups…

We kept going with the same scheme, with the way of teaching the skill form zero at the start, performing some games that can be done with children. Then, we talked about what we can do for improving further, doing some exercises for improving the speed and control.

In the pictures, some of the (already) trainers are performing a game for passing, and ‘mirror game’ and ‘king of dribling’ (for teaching protection dribbling).

Our friends, players/trainers from Baptist court, started to be more participative, and they reminded us about ball handling without dribbling, and passing with two balls, practicing two kind of pass at same time.
