Customer Reviews

good practice material

There are a great variety of drills from all over the country and different programs, and they encompass every skill development need and many possible numbers of players I could be working with at any one time. It is a great boost to my normal practice plan and drills.

Decent drill book could use some editing

If you're stuck for some useful drills, this guide has many, many drills separated into categories. One of the negatives is that the drills are written by different HS & college coaches throughout the US and they are not edited to have the same voice, vocabulary, etc. Some have compete explanations of the drills, while some assume a lot. The drill diagrams use different symbols depending on the author and the details differ. Sometimes they are broken down into clear steps, while sometimes one diagram is chock full of Xs and lines for a multi-step play. Another negative is that there are so many drills, and many of them very similar, it actually takes some time to digest it all and discern which would work for your team. A good drill book on the whole but there is room for improvement.

Many Great Drills

I couldn't be happier with this book. It gave me many drills to use with my team from some of the best coaches in the game. It's a great addition to any serious coach's library.

A Five-Star in Your Basketball Coaching Library

Join some of the nation's finest womens' coaches as they share the drills they use at the most premiere women's camp in the country. The book contains ten chapters (over 100 Drills) that examines everything from nutrition to skill development. Coaches sharing drills include Tara Van Derveer, Joe Ciampi, Matt Brzycki, Kristie Curry, and more. If you truly understand basketball this book is even better than the First Edition. Although in-depth, this book is not complicated or hard to understand. It is a user friendly resource, that any coach or player, should possess. This book is a must for the beginner, intermediate and/or advanced player/coach.

COMPLETE DRILL BOOK FOR COACHES & PLAYERS AT ALL LEVELS

If you truly understand basketball then you truly understand Five-Star Basektball Camp. If you truly understand Five-Star Basketball Camp("Where the teaching never stops") then you will truly understand that this new book will do for the women's game what the their original drill book (Five-Star Basketball Drills, 1988) did for the men's game. I believe it will become the hottest selling basketball drill book to hit the market in sometime. This book is not only packed full of basketball drills to improve practices and produce better players, but also includes numerous adminstrative tips for coaches on how to prepare their teams to be successful. It also includes a chapter on two big aspects that seperate the women's game from the men's game; Condtioning & Nutrition. If you truly understand what coaching is then this book is a must for your Coaching Library!
