COACH GUIDE

At Lay-Up, we bring the best of youth work together with the best of basketball through our belief in the power of sport for personal development. For coaches, that comes down to The Big Three:

 

  • Building Belonging

  • Creating Manageable Challenges

  • Providing Opportunities to Contribute

 

Volume I of the LAY-UP COACH GUIDE is broken down into sections:

 

First Half: Our Approach - A Sport for Development Approach to Basketball

Second Half: Practical Tools for Coaching ‘The Big Three’

 

These best-practices on supporting positive youth development are guaranteed ways to help develop incredible people, foster a healthy team culture and to have fun while winning games.
