Coaching Youth Hoops offers strategies for maintaining player involvement during the off-season, from camps to at-home challenges. In this episode of the Coaching Youth Hoops Podcast, Bill Flitter and Steve Collins discuss the unique challenges of keeping young basketball players engaged during the summer months. Collins opens by reflecting on the reduced stress and improved sleep he experiences after the basketball season, humorously connecting it to the constant mental load of coaching and teaching. This segues into a brief, lighthearted discussion about the potential future impact of AI on grading in education. The main topic then shifts to the difficulties of retaining player engagement in youth basketball, particularly for coaches running AAU or grade school programs where teams might change frequently. The hosts acknowledge the numerous distractions summer presents, from family vacations and other sports to the simple lack of agency many young players have in their schedules (e.g., parental decisions overriding practice). Collins notes that high school players often have more personal drive and freedom to commit to basketball workouts, whereas younger athletes might be pulled in many directions. Flitter suggests practical strategies for coaches, including running summer camps and implementing individual challenges like a "3,000-shot club" or "5,000-shot club" that rely on the honor system with parent accountability. He even shares an anecdote about his players deflating basketballs to take on vacation. Both emphasize the importance of making these activities fun and competitive, offering prizes for participation and achievement, and understanding that consistency in engagement, while difficult, ultimately shows up on the court.

    Ep 251 Communicating on the Court: Building Better Teammates
    Jun 11 2025
    ⁠www.aihoopscoach.com The podcast celebrates its 250th episode by offering a 25% discount on all practice plans for the month of June 2025. Listeners can access this offer by visiting ⁠coachingyouthhoops.com⁠ and using the promo code PODCAST250 at checkout Coaching Youth Hoops discusses the importance of communication among young basketball players and how coaches can foster positive interactions. In this episode of the Coaching Youth Hoops Podcast, hosts Bill Flitter and Steve Collins emphasize the critical role of effective communication among youth basketball players. They share anecdotes and strategies for teaching young athletes how to interact constructively on the court. Collins recounts a situation with a talented but overly aggressive player who needed guidance on holding teammates accountable without alienating them. This led to a team meeting focused on fostering a supportive environment where players understand they are all working towards the same goals of improvement and success. Flitter introduces the concept of pre-emptive correction, advising coaches to teach players to communicate reminders before mistakes happen, rather than yelling or criticizing after the fact. He uses the analogy of setting a curfew and reminding someone beforehand, as opposed to chastising them for missing it later. Both hosts highlight the diminishing communication skills among youth due to increased screen time and less face-to-face interaction. They suggest practical exercises, like role-playing scenarios with note cards, to help players practice giving and receiving feedback. The goal is to cultivate a "loud gym", which they equate to a "winning gym," by encouraging constant, positive communication, even if it means guiding players to refine their approach rather than discouraging them from speaking up entirely.

In this episode of the Coaching Youth Hoops podcast, hosts Steve Collins and Bill Flitter tackle the common challenge of coaching multi-sport athletes in youth basketball. They emphasize the significant benefits of playing multiple sports for young athletes, including reduced injury rates (especially for female athletes) and improved mental well-being, advocating that coaches encourage this participation. The hosts discuss the practical implications for coaches, such as players missing practices due to conflicting schedules with other sports or non-athletic activities. They advise restructuring practice plans to focus on repetition of core concepts rather than rapid progression, ensuring that players who miss a session don't fall too far behind. Communication with parents about managing conflicts and setting realistic expectations regarding playing time for those who miss practice is also highlighted. The conversation touches on player burnout and the importance of breaks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
