Jr. NBA Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) Principles for Jr. NBA Coaches
-
Have fun and teach through games.
-
Winning comes from doing something well, not from keeping score.
-
Use the modified equipment (lower baskets and smaller balls).
-
The curriculum has been designed to maximize the frequency of “touches” each player gets with the basketball and includes shooting, passing, and ball handling drills.
-
Group kids according to developmental age and NOT by chronological age.

Ensure maximum participation and remember that all players are equal.
