SimpleHoops - Basketball Made Easy!

When I first started coaching, I found there was plenty of information on the internet regarding basketball. Unfortunately, most of it was over my head. I decided to create this site to assist coaches and players, no matter what level of expertise they may have. The beginning basketball coach and player should find the drills and plays written in a clearly understandable fashion, while the advanced coach or player should be able to find information he or she can use to improve both the quality of his/her team or your individual play.

Although we will be providing drills, this site is more than just that. It is a basketball community. You will be able to upload pictures and video. Create your own webpages, create and read your own book and movie reviews, chat either by voice or video with other members and much more. So, check out the different areas of the site. I think you will see it is unlike any other basketball coaching site you have seen.

Free limited membership is provided to all interested parties. Full access membership is available for a small monthly/yearly fee. Click here to join now!

posted Sat January 12th 2008 @ 7:47 AM

How do you handle constructive criticism? I'm not referring to the kind where your coach screams nasty comments at you. I'm talking about when he or she tells you something you have been doing incorrectly. Read More »
