Free Coaching Guides

Junior Basketball Coaching Guides

Practical coaching guides for the weekend coach — each one distilled from hours of elite coaching research into something you can use at your next session. Free, always. No sign-up required.

Two libraries make up the collection, chosen because between them they cover most of what a junior season throws at you. The Talking Split Library turns nine seasons of Basketball Victoria's coach-education podcast into guides on the calls a coach actually has to make — how to run a session, handle trials fairly, talk to parents, and build a team that wants to be coached. The Basketball Podcast Library draws on 225+ episodes of NBA, WNBA, EuroLeague and college coaches and turns their thinking into guides on the skills and concepts that hold up at junior level — pick-and-roll reads, shooting development, and practice built around real decisions rather than isolated drills. Below them, the Session Plans turn recorded coaching clinics into complete sessions from under-10 to under-16 that you can print and run. The Offence Reads turn published playbooks into single actions you read off the defender, and the printable templates, including a season plan, are there to fill in on paper.
