LEAGUE VISION:
Why 3 on 3 and 4 on 4 with a shortened court?
- More touches on the basketball and more opportunity to develop ball skills.
- More space to play and create.
- More understanding of ball control and spacial awareness.
- Kids have to learn how to play. They have to learn how to handle the basketball. They have to learn how to manage and use space on the basketball floor. How do you best teach this? Create a game environment where more touches and more space is available to create and learn.
