Coaching Youth Basketball: A Baffled Parent's Guide (Paperback)
by David G. Faucher
"An excellent guide to teaching kids about the game. There's something here for veteran coaches as well as beginners."--Larry Bird
David G. Faucher shares his successful "full-participation model" of coaching youth basketball in this Baffled Parent's Guide.

Faucher, the head coach of the men's basketball team at Dartmouth College, covers creating good habits, offensive skills and defensive basics, dealing with parents, first aid and safety, and game rules.

Coaching Youth Basketball: The Guide for Coaches & Parents (Betterway Coaching Kids Series) (Paperback) by John P. McCarthy
A must have book for youth basketball coaches- Julio Acosta (Brentwood, NY United States) "

I have coached kids (boys and girls) in basketball of ages 4-12, this book provided the best information on what to do and what to expect. Particularly, the part of patience, repetition/reinforcement, and the fundamentals. The recommended offensive plays (post interchange, wheel, shuffle, etc.) and defensive strategies (whether man-to-man or zone) are excellent. Additionally, the chapters on vision, motivational phrases, and running a practice are worth reading. The author recommends the use of parents during practice time, called "stations" to maximize proper skill development. This book is a must for those interested in coaching youth basketball.
