Season in a Box: Ages 6–9 (12-Week Youth Basketball Practice Plans)

A whole season of practices for ages 6–9. Done for you.

12 ready-to-run, 45-minute practices built for young players. Game-based drills keep kids moving and having fun while they learn to dribble, pass, shoot and play together. Print a practice, bring it to the gym, and coach.

Weekly themes: First Day Fun, Dribbling, Passing, Shooting, Layups, Defense, Favorites Day, Rebounding, Teamwork, Weak Hand, Game Skills, Fun Day Finale

Every practice includes:

• A 2-minute dynamic warm-up to start
• 5 drills: a warm-up drill, three skill drills and a scrimmage with a fun twist that ties to the week’s theme
• A court diagram for every drill
• Setup, how the drill runs, and coaching points for every drill
• One coaching cue to repeat all practice
• A minute-by-minute schedule
• A coach’s notes page for attendance, player of the day, and what to work on next

You get 2 PDFs: a full-color version for your phone or tablet, and a black-and-white ink-saver version for printing. Each one has a season overview plus 12 two-page practices (25 pages).

Made for volunteer and first-time coaches. No basketball coaching experience needed.

Coaching older kids too? Get both editions (ages 6–9 and 10–14) for $24.
