Coaching young basketball players can be very rewarding, but for volunteer and novice coaches it can also be more than a little intimidating. Fortunately, the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) knows what it takes to help you succeed.
Thousands of youth coaches have used the
Coaching Youth Basketball book to achieve success. Now, the
Coaching Youth Basketball Video will show you how the most popular basketball techniques and tactics are performed, which will help you create an even more successful coaching experience.
You can use the video in conjunction with the book or by itself. It presents the most important techniques and tactics for you to teach your young players. You’ll be given step-by-step instructions, and you’ll see young players clearly demonstrate the techniques and tactics.
The
Coaching Youth Basketball Video provides excellent instruction for the beginning coach. It’s designed for volunteer and novice coaches of players ages 8 to 14 and for parents of players in that age group.

The American Sport Education Program (ASEP) is the most widely used and respected sport education program in the United States. More than 30 states now require ASEP courses for their high school coaches, and more than 200 universities use ASEP courses and resources. All told, over one million people—coaches, parents, and directors alike—have used ASEP products since the program began in 1981.
ASEP's motto of “athletes first, winning second” is the foundation of its curriculum and the driving force behind its efforts. ASEP courses—taught by 3,000 instructors nationwide—show adults involved in youth sports how to place the physical, mental, and social development of a child before winning.
ASEP offers a multilevel educational program that mirrors the common divisions of youth sport in America: community-based children's sports, high school/club sport, and advanced/elite sport. To achieve effective learning, ASEP courses typically combine interactive classroom instruction with self-study, supported by books, videos, software, and a test. Our staff creates course resources for ASEP and for national sport organizations; works with youth sport leaders to improve accessibility to courses; and provides support services.
