INTRODUCTION

More ThanAs an Upward Basketball Coach, you are now a part of changing the landscape of youth sports for the benefit of the athletes in YOUR league. That’s why you’re called to be MORE THAN just a basketball coach. A lot of coaches in today’s sports industry focus on short-term gain over an athlete’s long-term development…Not Upward coaches! You have the opportunity to be a mentor who builds young athletes of courage and character while helping them establish a life-long relationship with Jesus Christ.

Also, we want your players to know they are MORE THAN just athletes. What they have to offer goes beyond the court. That’s why you have the responsibility of building more than athletic skill in your players. Through the 360 Progression you will develop your players into TOTAL ATHLETES: mentally, athletically, spiritually, and socially. As a 360 Coach, you have the platform to help young athletes find their passion and purpose, equipping them for excellence – in the game and in life.

360 Coaching KeysThe 360 Progression™ is a uniquely designed sports experience that develops the total athlete mentally, athletically, spiritually, and socially. To be a 360 Coach, there are some practical keys to coaching that are necessary for success:

1. Teach the game through drills - The ability to execute proper drills enhances skill level and improves athletic foundations. Your practices should utilize drills that enhance skill development. Don’t just go through the motions. TEACH each player how to improve his/her game. Remember, parents are watching and are counting on you!


2. Teach the rules of the game - For players to grow in the sport, they must understand and apply the rules of the game. Take time to explain rules and why they are important.

3. Instill sportsmanship with a competitive spirit – This may sound like a contradiction in terms but it’s not. Your young athletes need to learn how these two important elements work together:

• Great sportsmanship involves valuing others. Your players should recognize how to value their opponents as well as their teammates.

• A competitive spirit is all about dong your best to win in all situations of the game. Therefore, you want to teach your young athletes to value others by treating them the right way as they give their best to win each play, each half, and each game.

4. Communicate effectively - In order to teach the rules, explain drills and teach sportsmanship, you have to be an effective communicator. Likewise, good communication and organization are crucial in keeping parents informed throughout the season. This includes keeping them up to date on practice and game times and having a plan in place each and every practice.

Warm-Up ActivitiesUse the first five minutes of practice to get the players moving. This can be done by incorporating athletic development exercises like the examples below or by incorporating a drill from an earlier practice.

› Power jumps - With players in a standing position and their arms above their heads, have them jump up and down.

› Feet on fire (running in place) - This drill helps players get their feet moving.

› Jumping jacks - Instruct players to count out loud.

Skills and Drills This section reviews the fundamental skills of basketball, explains why each is important and emphasizes the skill’s basic teaching points. Each skill is followed by a basic drill that reinforces the skill. This drill is acceptable for any age group as it introduces the concept of the skill. For more

drills for each skill, as well as complete practice plans, go to MyUpward.org.

Many of the drills described in this playbook require one ball per player. If you are limited in the number of balls you have for practice, you will need to modify the drill by creating lines based on the number of balls you have available.

FootworkProper footwork promotes balance, quickness, and readiness to make something happen on the court. Being proficient at this will improve a player’s performance both offensively and defensively.

Ready Position › Players get into an athletic stance - feet shoulder width

apart, arms and legs bent, and weight shifted slightly forward to the balls fo the feet

Triple Threat Position › Position the basketball in the “shooting pocket” with

shooting elbow over knee

› Provides the player the option to pass, shoot or dribble

Jump Stop › Allows a player to establish a pivot with either foot off a

dribble or pass

› Leap/jump should be low to the floor (like sitting in a chair), not a high jump

› Both feet hit floor at the same time – good balance

› Land on floor in triple threat position

Front Pivot and Reverse Pivot › Lift heel, protect ball, stay low, and lead with elbow

› Allows a player to pivot in one or more directions by keeping one foot planted on the ground to move away from defenders, while protecting the basketball



Footwork DrillsFootwork Line Drills (no basketball required) 1. Players form lines on baseline or sideline – two players

deep

2. Use cones or mark the court for starting/stopping spots – minimum 3 spots

3. No basketball necessary – players dribble and hold imaginary basketball

4. Players will start/stop on voice command or whistle

5. Players should stop at each spot with jump stop and land in triple threat position

6. Pause between stops/starts to check for proper balance

7. Second player in line starts as the preceding player leaves first spot

Spot #3

Spot #2

Spot #1



11

Rotate the following footwork line drills: › Jump Stop/Triple Threat

› Jump Stop/Triple Threat/Right Front Pivot

› Jump Stop/Triple Threat/Left Front Pivot

› Jump Stop/Triple Threat/Right Reverse Pivot

› Jump Stop/Triple Threat/Left Reverse Pivot

Have each player raise his or her hand in the air that coincides with the desired pivot direction. This will help each player pivot in the correct direction.

Variation: Add basketballs after your players understand the above concepts. Allow them to practice the above skills after picking up their dribble and receiving passes.

Pivot Drill (no basketball required) › Players should spread out in your practice area – no

basketball necessary

› Players start in triple threat position, protecting an imaginary basketball

› Instruct players to establish a pivot foot

› Practice half-turns and front/reverse pivots

› Repeat with opposite foot established as the pivot

Variation: Add basketballs and defenders after your players understand the above concepts. Allow them to practice the above skills after picking up their dribble and receiving passes.



Ball Handling and DribblingAn adept ball handler and dribbler can make things happen on the court. Mastering these skills can help create open shots, obtain better passing angles, and lead to fewer turnovers. A great offensive player must be able to handle the ball!

› Dribble with fingers, not palms – similar to typing on a keyboard

› Proper body position, with knees bent and body flexed at the waist

› Keep head up – see the court

› Protect the basketball – use your non-dribbling arm as an “arm bar”, meaning sticking it outward with the elbow slightly bent to protect the dribble from defenders reaching in

› Work both hands – be able to go right and left

› When picking up a dribble, end in triple threat position

Basic Dribbling Skills:Control Dribble (Use against defensive pressure) › With body turned to the side, dribble basketball near the

back knee

› Keep the dribble low and compact, below the knees

› Non-dribbling arm should be held out in front of the body to protect the ball from defenders – arm bar

Speed Dribble (Use to push the ball up the court and on fast break situations)

› Dribble is pushed out in front of the body but controlled



13

Retreat Dribble (Use to avoid defensive pressure and to keep dribble alive) › Dribble backwards (hop back) to avoid pressure

› Dribble requires a change in speed and change in direction

› Dribble teaches players not to habitually pick up their dribble when heavy, defensive pressure is applied

Crossover Dribble (Use to break down a defender; good penetration move) › Dribble must be kept low when crossing over from one

hand to another, keeping it away from the defender

› Use head and shoulder fakes to help “sell” the move

› Explode to the basket with speed dribble after the crossover

Spin Dribble (Use to avoid defensive pressure and to dribble by defender) › Pull the basketball through low during the pivot

› Keep the basketball in the same hand until completing the pivot

› Pivot should be low and quick with head up

› Explode to the basket with speed dribble after the whirl pivot



Behind the Back Dribble (Use to break down a defender; good penetration move) › Use head and shoulder fakes to help “sell” the move

› Swing the basketball behind your waist, turning the hips and driving the ball down with a snap of the wrist

› Slap opposite back thigh during the exchange

Ball Handling Drills (team drills)(one basketball per player or divide your team into two groups)

› Ball Slams – With feet shoulder-width apart, have players slap the basketball with fingers spread wide. Players should “slam” the ball by alternating their right and left hands.

› Fingertip Drill – With feet shoulder-width apart, players pass the basketball from hand to hand in front of the body using only the fingertips. Move ball from ankles, to knees, to waist, to chest, to head, and to above head using the fingertips. Encourage players to keep their arms straight.

› Leg Wraps – With feet shoulder width apart players pass the ball around their leg. Can also have them dribble around their leg. Have them go around each leg.

› Body Wraps – Players pass the ball around their head, then around their waist and finally around their knees. Then work their way back up.



15

Dribbling DrillsDribbling Line Drills (three to five basketballs required)During all dribbling line drills, you should stand in front of the players to teach, encourage, and evaluate each player’s performance.

1. Players form lines on baseline or sideline (two players deep) – one basketball per line

2. Use cones or chairs to represent stopping/starting points or change – of-dribble spots

3. Players will begin the drills in triple threat position

4. Players will start/stop/change dribble on voice command or whistle

5. Pause between stops/starts to check for balance, arm bar, and if head is up

6. At the turnaround point, require jump stops with pivots

7. Work opposite hand on return dribble

8. Players should end drills with a jump stop, giving the basketball to the next player in line

Turnaround Point



Rotate the following dribbling line drills: 1. Speed Dribble

2. Speed Dribble/Control Dribble - on command, stationary control dribble

3. Speed Dribble/Retreat Dribble – on command, two to three dribbles backwards against imaginary defender followed by speed dribble

Passing and ReceivingPassing and receiving a basketball allows a team to effectively move the ball quickly around the court. A team that has players with strong passing and receiving skills will spread the defense and be hard to guard.

Passing Teaching Points: › Two hands on the basketball, with fingers on the sides of

the ball

› Ball in middle of body

› Step toward target

› Push thumbs through ball and snap wrists, creating backspin on the basketball

› Extend arms completely as you follow through toward target

Receiving Teaching Points: › Both hands up in ready position – show a target

› Step toward the ball when passed – meet the pass and get into triple threat position



17

Basic Passing SkillsTwo-Hand Chest Pass › Basketball is held with two hands

› Passer targets the receiver’s chest area

› Passer steps toward their target with either foot as the ball is thrown

› Snap the thumbs down extending the arms

Two-Hand Bounce Pass › Basketball is held with two hands

› Passer aims for a spot on the floor about two-thirds (a little more than halfway) of the way to the receiver

› Passer targets the receiver’s mid-section from the bounce

Overhead Pass › Basketball is held with two hands above head

› Passer targets the receiver’s chest area



Passing and Receiving DrillsDistance Passing (one basketball for each pair of players)Be sure to incorporate all three basic passes into this drill.

1. Pair up players and have them face each other six to eight feet apart

2. Instruct players to pass the basketball back and forth using a chest pass

3. After several repetitions, have each player take one to two steps backwards and continue passing

4. Continue moving players back until they are passing from a challenging distance

Two Line Passing (two basketballs required)Two pairs of players can perform this drill at one time.

1. Pair up players and have them face each other six to eight feet apart

2. Establish a starting and turnaround point

3. One player in each pair needs a basketball

4. Using defensive slides, players move up and then back down the court

5. While sliding, instruct players to pass the basketball back and forth using a chest pass

pairs 6-8feet apart pairs 6-8

feet apart

Turnaround Point



19

6. Players pass the ball immediately upon receiving the ball

Variations: Both players running up and down the court, rather than sliding. You may also require the receiver to perform a jump stop upon catching the basketball and immediately passing it to his or her moving partner.

ShootingShooting Teaching Points: › Square up shoulders to the basket

› Ball on fingertips, not palms

› Opposite hand should be lightly placed on side of ball (balance/weak hand)

Practice BEEF principles: › Balance – Learn to prepare for the shot by stopping with

the feet set, knees slightly bent, ready to jump (good triple threat position)

› Elbow - Proper shooting alignment; ball should be directly over the elbow with the wrist cocked

› Eyes - Pick a spot (front of the rim, back of the rim, etc.) and focus on that target as the shot is being attempted

› Follow through - Release the ball smoothly, completely extend the arm, and snap the wrist, which should create good backspin on the basketball



Shooting DrillsLay-Up Steps (no basketball required)Instruct your players to shout “STEP-HOP-SHOOT” when performing this drill. Mirror this drill to practice left-handed lay-ups.

1. Allow players to spread out in your practice area, at least four to five feet apart

2. Players start in triple threat position, holding imaginary basketballs with heads and eyes up on the target

3. On the STEP command, players step with their left foot (right-handed lay-ups)

4. On the HOP command, players raise their right knee and right arm toward the basket (visualize a string connecting a player’s right arm and right leg)

5. On the SHOOT command, players extend their right arm as they shoot an imaginary ball

Wall Shooting (one basketball per player or divide your team into two groups)This is a great drill to keep idle players busy while running a drill on the court that may not involve your entire team.

1. Player stands about four to five feet away from the wall

2. Help the player find a reasonable shooting target on the wall

3. Player assumes triple threat position

4. Player shoots the ball at the target, concentrating on elbow in and full extension

5. Player should finish the shot up on his or her toes with proper follow through, creating good backspin



21

Variation: If coaching third- through sixth-grade players, allow them to shoot using only their shooting/strong hand.

Two Line Shooting Drills (one or two basketballs required) Players rotate lines after each turn. After several repetitions shooting from one side of the goal, change the designation of both lines and shoot from the other side of the court.

1. Players form two lines opposite the goal in each corner of practice area: a shooting line and a rebounding line (use cones or chairs to mark a starting point)

2. Shooting line: Assume triple threat position, showing ready hands to receive a pass

3. Rebounding line: Players should block out an imaginary defender and rebound the ball above their head.

4. The player from the rebounding line secures the rebound and dribbles to a designated cone, makes a good jump stop landing in triple threat position, and uses proper passing techniques when passing to the next shooter in line

5. Shooter receives the basketball and performs the drill as instructed by a coach



Rotate the following two line shooting drills:

› Lay-ups – Stress jumping off the proper foot and using the backboard (STEP-HOP-SHOOT)

› Pull-up Off the Dribble – Set a cone at desired shooting spot (stress good jump stop and use of backboard when shooting from appropriate angle)

Rebounding Line Shooting Line

Rebounding Line Shooting Line



23

ReboundingWhen discussing offensive rebounding, remind players that each shot taken by a teammate is a pass to them! Second chance points (put-backs) can be a big contributor to a team’s offensive production.

Rebounding Teaching Points: › Defensive player stays between the opponent and the

basket

› Using a front or reverse pivot, the defensive player pivots and makes contact with the opponent’s body when the ball is shot (“block out”)

› Defensive players should yell “shot” to signal a rebounding opportunity

› Hold the “block out” position momentarily, with the head up and body facing the goal

› Release the “block out” - be hungry for the basketball

› Secure the basketball

› Be strong with the basketball, keeping the ball at chin level with elbows out



Rebounding DrillsRebound Outlet Drill – no defender (one basketball required) 1. Facing the basket, players

form two lines: one at the corner of the free-throw line (elbow), the other at the foul line extended (wing)

2. Coach stands at the other elbow with a basketball. Coach throws the ball off the backboard closest to him/her

3. First player in line at elbow catches the rebound with strong hands, elbows out, and ball to the chin. He/she then pivots toward first player in the wing line and throws a two-handed chest pass

4. Player from the wing line passes ball back to the coach

5. Both players swap lines and drill is repeated with second players in each line



25

Rebound Outlet Drill – with defender (one basketball required) 1. Facing the basket, players form two lines: one at each

corner of the free-throw line

2. Place one player at each wing area to serve as an outlet receiver

3. The player in the front of each line will turn his back toward the basket (defensive player), facing the next player in line (offensive player)

4. When the coach shoots the basketball, the defensive players will yell “shot” and pivot into the offensive players to obtain a good “block out”

5. Offensive players cannot move

6. Once a defender secures the basketball, he or she will pivot and throw a crisp overhead outlet pass to an outlet receiver

7. Players rotate from offense/to defense/to outlet receiver/to back of the line

Variations: › Use one line instead of two

› When the ball is shot, the offense can move and try to score off a missed shot



DefenseDefense Teaching Points: › Proper defensive stance

› Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart

› Knees bent, with waist slightly bent forward

› Good balance – ready to move and slide

› Place weight on the inside front of the feet but not on the toes

› Extend arms to the side, slightly bent

› Open hands, so palms face the offensive player

› Ball/you/basket principle: When the offensive player being guarded has the ball, the defensive player should stay between this assigned offensive player with the basketball and the basket

› See the ball at all times

› Sprint down the floor on a change of possession, stopping any fast breaks

Defense DrillsDefensive Slides (no basketball required)Focus on players’ feet sliding (rather than hopping or skipping) and players maintaining a proper defensive stance. Have fun with this drill! Allow players to express enthusiasm and desire by slapping the playing floor and yelling



27

“DEFENSE” on command. Drill should last 20-30 seconds. Allow short rest and repeat as desired.

1. Allow players to spread out in practice area, at least four to five feet apart

2. On command, players yell “DEFENSE” and freeze in the defensive stance

3. On command (either verbal or hand signals), players will slide left, right, up, and back

Zigzag (no basketball required)Focus on players making a drop step each time they turn (rather than crossing their feet) and on players sliding correctly while maintaining a proper defensive stance.

1. Form a line of players at one end of your practice area

2. Set-up cones or chairs in a zigzag pattern, spaced 10-12 feet apart (minimum 3 spots)

3. On command, the first player in line will assume the correct defensive stance and will slide in a zigzag pattern as dictated by the cones or chairs

4. Next player in line starts as the preceding player leaves first spot

5. As each player reaches the final spot, he or she should sprint back to the end of the line



Offensive Plays The following offensive plays are provided to help your team with floor spacing and floor balance. These plays are intended for Levels 3 and 4.

to hear everyone. Tell them to hold up all 10 fingers.

› You can start off by stating one fact about yourself. (For ex: “I have never been to Florida.” or “I have blue eyes.”)

› Then the players who haven’t been to Florida, or don’t have blue eyes, will put one finger down.

› This will continue around the circle, having each person share one fact about themselves until someone is all out of fingers.

› It’s better to try and use less obvious, unique facts about yourself because there is a chance that more people will have to put a finger down if they can’t relate to your fact.

› Keep going until there is only one player left holding up finger(s)

That was fun! Getting to know each other better is something that we’ll do a lot of this season. As a team, we’ll work hard to encourage one another to do our best at practices and games!

As you play games during your Upward Basketball Season, you will be rewarded afterward with different colored stars that each means something special. Your actions, attitudes and words on game day will determine what star you will get.

These are the game day stars and what they mean:



37

› The blue star represents EFFORT: What does it mean to show effort? It means working hard to try your best at all times.

› The gold star represents SPORTSMANSHIP: What does it mean to show sportsmanship? It means treating the people you play with and against the same way you want to be treated. You show respect for yourself, your teammates, opponents, the referees and the coach. You play fair and follow the rules.

› The gray star represents OFFENSE: What should you do when you play offense? The offense is responsible for scoring points. This means doing your best while trying to move the ball forward together as a team to score a basket.

› The red star represents DEFENSE: What should you do when you play defense? The defense is responsible for preventing points from being scored. This requires staying with the player you are guarding and moving your feet to stay in good position to prevent a basket.

› The white star represents CHRISTLIKENESS: What does it mean to be Christlike? Being Christlike means to do your best to imitate Jesus in every way – through words, attitude and actions. It means loving others and following God’s Word in the Bible; choosing God over the temptations in the world around you.

At each practice we will stop to have a Mid-Practice Huddle. We will learn about God and learn a verse from the Bible together. During this time you will have a chance to earn a green star.

› The green star represents SCRIPTURE LEARNING: What is a Scripture? Scriptures are verses from the Bible. How can I learn scripture? At different practices this season



I will give you a practice card that has a Scripture verse on it. Memorize it, think about it, and talk about it with others. Come prepared to say it during practice and learn more about it!

Our team is going to have a great season! Let’s pray and then get back to practice.

(Lead the team in short prayer as you thank God for all the players and a great season ahead.)

Mid-Practice Huddle – Devotion 2Practice Card Reminder: At the end of practice, remember to distribute the practice cards entitled “Practice 2.”

Introduce: › Virtue: RESPECT - Showing others they are important

by what you say and do. › Scripture Verse: Show proper respect to everyone.

1 Peter 2:17a (NIrV)

Bottom Line: Respect those who are in charge.

I’ve got a question for you guys. Can you name some people who are in charge over you? Go ahead and shout them out. (Pause for responses.) Yep—you’ve got it. There are lots and lots of people who are in charge of us. From parents to teachers to coaches like me. Even I have people who are over me. I have a boss at work who’s in charge. It’s my job to listen to what he (she) has to say and follow his (her) leadership. That’s what respect is all about. Respect is showing others they are important by what you say and do.Now, who’s in charge out on the basketball court during a game? It’s not the coaches, and it’s not the players. Any guesses? (Pause for responses.) Yep, it’s the referee! The ref’s job is to enforce the rules of the game and maintain



39

order on the court. Now, what would happen if you guys all headed out on the court and decided to completely ignore the authority of the ref? (Pause for responses.) That’s right. Things would probably be kind of a mess. As players and coaches, it’s our job to respect the referee and follow their lead on the court.Have you ever seen a player or a coach on TV who didn’t respect the referee? Maybe it’s a guy who got a foul and then made a face and lifted his hands up like he’d been robbed. Or maybe it was a coach who didn’t like a call, so he tossed his clipboard and threw a giant tantrum. Think about it—how did those guys look? Did they look cool? Or ridiculous? (Pause for responses.) Yep—when we show disrespect to the people who are in charge, we just embarrass ourselves. But the opposite is also true. Let’s say you don’t agree with the call the ref made... but you still nod your head and say, “Yes, Ref.” That shows the ref that you know their job is important. It shows that you respect them, just like you’d want someone else to respect you.

INTERACTION QUESTIONS (3rd Grade and Up Only)

1. Why do you think God wants us to show respect to people in charge? (He’s the One who placed them over us. When we respect them, we’re showing that we trust God.)

2. Can you disagree with someone who’s in charge and still show them respect? (Yes.) How? (Body language, eye contact, tone of voice)

3. What are some ways that people show disrespect? (Rolling their eyes, raising their voice, speaking out of turn, complaining behind someone’s back)

4. Do you think other people notice how you act toward those who are over you? Why is that important? (You can be a leader and an example of how to treat others.)



PrayerGod, thanks for this great reminder about showing respect. We love You, and we want You to know how much we respect You! Help us to follow through and show respect this week to the people who are in charge of us. We know that when we respect those in charge that we’re also showing You respect too because You are the One who put them in charge. We love You and we ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Mid-Practice Huddle – Devotion 3Coach: Do NOT distribute practice cards at this practice

Review: › Virtue: RESPECT - Showing others they are important



Bottom Line: Respect God because He’s in charge of everything.

All right, guys. At our last practice, we talked about respect. Respect is showing others they are important by what you say and do. How did you do with your respect challenge? Did you follow through? Did you make choices to show respect to the people who are in charge of you? I’d love it if a couple of you would share how you showed respect this past week. (Allow one or two athletes to share.)Sounds like you guys are really learning a lot about respect. Today, I want to share a story with you about an encounter Jesus had with a Roman commander. The commander was in charge of many other soldiers in the Roman army, so he definitely understood authority and how it worked. After all,



41

if his soldiers didn’t follow his orders in battle, it could be a matter of life and death.But this commander had a problem. His servant was sick. Very sick. The servant was suffering so much that the commander knew he needed to do something. So he went to see Jesus, believing that Jesus could heal his servant. Check this out. Here’s the conversation between the commander and Jesus that’s recorded in Matthew chapter 8: “Lord... my servant lies at home and can’t move. He is suffering terribly.” Jesus said, “Shall I come and heal him?” The commander replied, “Lord, I am not good enough to have you come into my house. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. I myself am a man under authority. And I have soldiers who obey my orders. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes. I tell that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to those following him, “What I’m about to tell you is true. In Israel I have not found anyone whose faith is so strong.” And Jesus healed the commander’s servant!This is the only time in all the accounts of Jesus’ life on earth where He was “amazed” by someone’s faith. And it was all because the commander really understood what respect for authority was all about. He recognized who Jesus really was—that Jesus is God. The commander knew that because Jesus is God, He can heal sickness because sickness answers to Him. The commander knew that Jesus was in authority over all things, so he trusted that Jesus could heal his servant. The commander showed unbelievable respect for God.You and I can learn something really important from this passage in the Bible. The One who deserves the most respect is God. He created the entire world. He created you. He is an all knowing, all loving, mountain-moving, storm-controlling, miracle-working God. He is in control over all things. There is no one more powerful or more worthy of our respect.



And get this. God loves you. He’s not just a powerful God who is uninterested in us. He knows every single thing about you. The Bible says He even knows exactly how many hairs are on your head. He has a good plan for your life. But He wants and He deserves your respect. We need to respect God because He’s in charge of everything.


1. The commander was a pretty important guy. He was in charge of lots of people. But when he asked Jesus for help, what did that show about him? (He respected Jesus. Even though he was an important commander, he realized that Jesus was more important. He understood that Jesus was in charge of everything.)

2. Why was he willing to ask for help? (He cared about his servant and he knew Jesus could help.)

3. What are some ways we can show respect to God? (We can trust Him no matter what. We can ask Him for wisdom. We can treat others the way He wants us to treat them.)

Let’s pray and tell Him how much we love and respect Him today.PrayerHeavenly Father, You are an awesome God. There is no one like You. You are the one true God and the only one worthy of our respect and praise. We want everyone around us to see You for who You really are—a mighty God who loves us more than we could ever imagine. Thank You for loving us, God, and for giving us the opportunity to know You. We love You, and we ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Mid-Practice Huddle – Devotion 4 Coach: Do NOT distribute practice cards at this practice

Review: › Virtue: RESPECT - Showing others they are important



Bottom Line: Respect others with your words.

Coach: You will need a can of hairspray or anything else in an aerosol canAll right, guys. How many of you have ever seen this? (Hold up the can of hairspray) Maybe your mom or sister uses this to make their hair look just right. What happens when I push this button? (Spray some in the air)That’s right! Hairspray comes out and goes everywhere!What if I asked all of you to put the hairspray back in the can after I sprayed it out? Could you do it? No way. Once that hairspray comes out, it can’t go back in.Well, there’s one part of showing respect that works the exact same way as that can of hairspray. What does respect mean again? (Pause for responses.) That’s right. It’s showing others they are important by what you say and do. And one really important way to respect others is with our words.The Bible says that from your mouth can come both praising and cursing. Basically that means that you can use respectful, kind words one minute and disrespectful, unkind words the next. Sometimes you can do both in the same sentence! Your words have the power to show respect and honor to someone... but they also have the power to show disrespect and tear someone down. So you really need to choose your words carefully.



And you know what? Your words are a lot like that mist of hairspray that came out of the can. Once you’ve said something, you can’t put it back where it came from. There are no do-overs. But the good news is that you have complete control over what comes out of your mouth. The key is to think before you speak. Before you respond in anger, frustration or with a disrespectful attitude, it’s better to stop and take a breath. Are the words you’re about to say helpful or hurtful? Will they build up or tear the other person down?When you choose respectful words, you definitely show others how important they are to you. So before you answer your mom with a “whatever” or your dad with a “that’s so lame, Dad”—stop yourself and choose respectful words instead. Here’s something that might help. This week, if you see your mom or your sister using hairspray on their hair, I want you remember what we talked about today—to respect others with your words. Think you can do that? Cool.


1. Have you ever said something that you regret? (Share an example from your own life, if possible—an age-appropriate example of a time when you spoke carelessly or disrespectfully, or hurt someone’s feelings.)

2. Do you think it’s easier to say positive words or negative words? (Negative.) Why is that? (It can make us feel better to tear others down. Sometimes it seems “cool” to be critical.)

3. What are some examples of respectful words you could use with your friends, teammates or people in charge of you? (“Yes, Sir/Ma’am.” “Nice play.” “You’ll get it next time.” “I’m glad you’re on the team.” “Thanks for the ride, Mom.”)



45

4. What are some ways you can encourage others to show respect with their words? (If your friends are talking negatively about someone behind their back, you can speak positively instead—either to the group or to that person.)

Let’s pray and ask God to help us with that this week.PrayerDear God, thanks for reminding us that our words have the power to help or hurt. We want to be careful with the things we say because You created and love every person and that means that each person deserves our respect. Help our words be pleasing and honoring to You so that we can show respect to others. We love You and we ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.


Introduce: › Virtue: GRATITUDE - Letting others know you see how

they’ve helped you.

› Scripture Verse: Give thanks no matter what happens. God wants you to thank him because you believe in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIrV)

Bottom Line: You always have something to be grateful for.

Have you ever had a really bad day? Maybe you woke up late. Then maybe your favorite shirt was dirty. Then maybe your sister ate the last of your favorite cereal. Then maybe you missed the bus. Then maybe your teacher decided to give a pop quiz that you’re sure you totally bombed. Then maybe



you had to run laps in gym. And then maybe your dog ate your homework.

We’ve all had bad days when nothing seemed to go our way. But even on our worst days, there’s always something to be grateful for. That’s what we’ll be talking about for the next few practices. Gratitude! Gratitude is letting others know you see how they’ve helped you. On bad days, it might seem like showing gratitude is a pretty impossible task. But the truth is, you and I always have something to be grateful for.

Check this out. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, God tells us, “Give thanks no matter what happens. God wants you to thank him because you believe in Christ Jesus.” So let me break this down for you. Basically this verse says that we should choose gratitude all the time, no matter what happens, because of what God has done for us. The Bible tells us that we always have the choice to be grateful.

Here’s why. There is a great big God who made you, and He loves you big-time—more than you could ever imagine or ever deserve. Want to know how I know that’s true? Because our great big God sent His only Son to earth to take away everything that kept us from being close to Him. Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life, and even though He was innocent, He died on a cruel cross to pay the price we owed for our sins. Jesus gave His life for you and for me so that we could be close to God and have a relationship with Him forever. And there’s nothing that you or I have to do to earn that. We don’t have to be better, or smarter, or kinder or cooler. God just loves us. God even wants a relationship with us when we act like we want nothing to do with Him.

So what does all of this have to do with gratitude? We can show gratitude on our worst days because God loves us so much. We can show gratitude because this good God who loves us has a good plan for our lives. So, no matter what happens, no matter how bad your day goes, nothing can ever



47

take that away! God loves you, He is working for good in your life, and He wants you to be with Him forever. Nothing beats that!


1. Would you rather hang out with a grateful person or an ungrateful person? Why? (A grateful person is fun and positive, they remember that what’s most important is a relationship with God. An ungrateful person can be selfish, angry and focused on the wrong things.)

2. Why do you think God wants us to “give thanks no matter what happens”? (It helps us remember that God has offered us the best thing ever—a relationship with Him.)

3. We should always be grateful for the opportunity for a relationship with God. Why is a relationship with God so valuable? What does it give you? (The peace of knowing God is always with you. The Holy Spirit living in you, comforting you, guiding you, helping you grow more and more like Jesus. Wisdom to make the right choices. Forgiveness of your sins. The promise of eternal life in heaven.)

So the next time something goes wrong, the next time you feel like grumbling or complaining, remember that you always have something to be grateful for. Remember that God loves you. He made you. He has a good plan for your life. And if you’ll let Him, He can help you turn that really bad day into something better. And when He does, don’t forget to say thank you.PrayerDear God, thanks for reminding us today just how much we have to be grateful for. It’s so easy for us to get caught



up all the stuff that goes wrong and completely forget all that we really have to be grateful for. Help us to remember that gratitude is a choice. Thanks for sending Jesus as our greatest gift. It’s in His name that we ask these things. Amen.


Review: › Virtue: GRATITUDE - Letting others know you see how



Bottom Line: Take time to adjust your attitude.

Now that we’ve played few games on Saturdays, I have a question. What’s your favorite part about playing? (Pause and let players respond.) Great job. I’m not at all surprised by your answers! Those are all fun things. But you know what you didn’t mention? Not one of you answered “sitting on the bench.” I mean, I get it. You’d rather be in on the action right? But the truth is, at some point in every game you will be sitting on the bench. (Coach: If the previous statement is not true for your team, change it to an NBA team with a well-known player on the bench.)So what are you gonna do while you’re on that bench? Are you gonna dig in your heels and huff and puff? Will you sigh and whine and moan and complain? Remember, gratitude is a choice. And you can’t have gratitude with a bad attitude. In fact, it’s kind of impossible for both of those things to exist. But you can be grateful—even when you’re sitting on the bench. You just have to stop and think for a bit. Even when



49

you’re sitting on the bench, here is what is true: You’re on a team with friends. You’re learning the rules of the game and valuable lessons in teamwork. And while you’re on the bench, you have the perfect opportunity to cheer on your teammates. You might not be able to control when or how long you’re on the bench, but your attitude is completely under your control. Jesus once told a story about some folks who needed an attitude adjustment. One day, a group of workers were hired to work in a vineyard. Some were hired early in the day and were told how much they would be paid. Other workers were hired later on. And at the end of the day, each worker, no matter how many hours they’d worked, was paid the same amount. As you can imagine, when the money was handed out, those who’d been working all day long were completely ungrateful. But it was the vineyard owner’s choice to pay what he wanted to pay. And while they had no control over his decision, they had complete control over how they responded. And their response was definitely not grateful.Part of being a great team player is choosing to have a great attitude no matter what—even if you aren’t playing the position that you want to, even if you miss the basket or even if you sit the bench the whole game. In life, there will be disappointments and things that don’t go your way. But when that happens, I want you to think about your attitude and how you’ll respond. No one can choose to be grateful for you—it’s up to you! Don’t be like those early vineyard workers who chose to mope and complain because they thought they deserved more. It might take some time to stop and think about what you have to be grateful for, but I promise, if you’ll take the time to adjust your attitude, you’ll be the kind of grateful person that God wants you to be.




1. Let’s think about that story Jesus told. If you were one of the vineyard workers who got hired first, would you have been frustrated that the people who got hired last got the same amount of pay as you? Why do you think Jesus told that story? (To help us remember to have a grateful attitude no matter what.)

2. Is gratitude something that comes naturally? Or do we have to choose it? Why? (We have to choose it because we easily forget to thank God for things that He has done for us.)

3. Why is it important to stop and take time to adjust your attitude? (If we react right away to something, we can easily end up thinking and acting in an ungrateful way.)

Why don’t we pray and ask God to help us have a grateful attitude this week?PrayerDear God, we love You. Thank You for the players on this team and for the opportunity we have to play hard and work together on the court. Help us to remember that our attitude is a big part of whether or not we show gratitude. We know there is always something to be thankful for, so help us to take the time to adjust our attitude when we need to. Thanks for loving us and for providing all that we need. We love You and we ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Review: › Virtue: GRATITUDE - Letting others know you see how



Bottom Line: Take time to say thank you.

Guys, we’ve been talking about gratitude—letting others know you see how they’ve helped you. And today I want to talk about two super-important, super-grateful words that are way more powerful than you might think. These two words have the power to completely change your attitude... and change someone else’s attitude as well. In just two small words, you have the potential to show someone else exactly how you feel about what they’ve done for you. But if you choose not to say them, you completely miss an opportunity to brighten their day.

So what are those two words? (Pause for responses.) Yep—“thank you!” Saying thank you can have a huge impact on the people around you. Think about it. Imagine a world without those words. Imagine walking through your entire day, surrounded by people who help you, but never using those words. Can you picture that?

Or what if we switch this example around? What if you helped others all day long? Maybe you held doors for others, helped a friend with her math homework, cleaned up in your classroom after school, put away the dishes in the dishwasher and cleaned up the playroom your brother destroyed. Imagine doing all these things and never hearing a simple “thank you.” Wouldn’t be very cool, would it?



Here’s the thing. You can be grateful all day long. You might notice the things others do for you with a grateful heart. But if you don’t stop to say these two little words, then your gratitude doesn’t show. Or think about it this way. You could go around doing things for others all day long and the people around you might be super grateful for the help, but you would never know it without the power of “thank you.” There’s power in the “thank you.”

Saying “thank you” doesn’t cost you anything. It’s one of the simplest things you can do. But there’s no power in the “thank you” if you never say it. There’s no power in the “thank you” if you never hear it. There’s no power in the “thank you” if you assume other people just know how grateful you are. So take time to use the power of these magic words—“thank you.”


1. Does your mom or dad ever have to remind you to say thank you? Why is that so hard to do? (We’ve got our mind on other things. We’re having a bad attitude. It can be embarrassing to be put on the spot.)

2. Do you think it’s harder to remember to say thank you for something special, or for something that someone does for you all the time? (Something someone does for you all the time—because it’s normal and doesn’t stand out.)

3. What are some creative ways you can show your gratitude to someone beyond just saying thank you? (Write a note, buy or make a gift, talk about how grateful you are for them in public.)

Bonus: If possible, share a brief story about a time someone thanked you and how much it meant to you.



53

Let’s ask God to help us unleash the power of “thank you” this week.PrayerDear God, thanks for reminding us today that it’s not enough to simply feel gratitude. We have to express it through our words. Just like we love to hear those two simple words, the people around us need to hear them too. Remind us of the power of “thank you” this week. We want to show gratitude this week and let others know that we see how they’ve helped us. Thanks, God, for loving us—even when we forget to tell You how grateful we are. We love You and we ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.


Introduce: › Virtue: TRUST - Putting your confidence in someone you

can depend on.

› Scripture Verse: Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 (NIrV)

Bottom Line: I can depend on God because He has a good plan for me.

Guys, for the next few practices, we’re going to be talking about trust. Trust is putting your confidence in someone you can depend on. It means believing that, at the end of the day, they have a planAnd I know that you guys trust in things—and people—all the time! Think about it. You trust that your mom or dad will wake you up for school on time so you won’t be late.



When you get in your car to go somewhere, you trust that the wheels aren’t going to fall off while you’re driving down the highway. Or if you’ve ever used GPS or a phone to tell you how to get somewhere, you were trusting that it would tell you the quickest way to go... and maybe even avoid some traffic.You trust that your friends will always have your back. You trust your teachers to be knowledgeable about whatever they’re teaching you. You trust me to be a good coach and help you learn plays and improve your skills. You trust each other to work as a team and do your very best out on the court. Trust is one of those things that you just do—maybe sometimes without even realizing it.In a much bigger way, you can put your trust in God too. While you can’t see God like you see a person or talk to Him face to face, there’s enough evidence around you to prove that God is good. You can tell that God is good because of all of the good and beautiful things He made in the world. You can tell that God likes relationships and love because He gave you the ability to love the people around you. You can tell that God is really creative because He made you totally unique and unlike anyone else in the whole world. God is very, very good and because He is good, you can trust Him with anything. This great, big, good God who formed the universe also made you, He knows you and He loves you very much. He has an incredibly good plan in store just for you. He wants to take care of you because He loves you, so you can always depend on Him. You can trust that He is in control and that He will provide everything you need. You can depend on God because He loves you and He has a good plan for you.


1. I’d love to hear from a couple of you about someone you really trust—someone you can depend on. What makes them so trustworthy? (Encourage two or three players to share. Be ready to share your own example too.)

2. We trust a lot of people... and unfortunately, sometimes people let us down. But will God ever let us down? How do we know that we can always depend on Him? (We can remember His promise: “I will never leave you. I will never desert you” [Hebrews 13:5].)

3. Does trusting God mean that everything will go the way we want it to? (No. It’s God’s plan, not ours. But we can trust that His way is best even if it isn’t what we would have expected because He loves us and wants what’s best for us.)

Why don’t we pray and thank God for this awesome truth today?PrayerHeavenly Father, we know that You are a great big God. We know that You created us because You love us and want a relationship with us. We can trust that You have the best plans in store for each of our lives. Help us to spend time with You, to read the Bible and to hang out with friends who love You too so that we can grow closer to You. Help us to see the plans You have in store for each of us. Help us to trust You every day. We love You and we ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Review: › Virtue: TRUST - Putting your confidence in someone you

can depend on.


Bottom Line: I can depend on God because He’s bigger than my fears.

You might not admit it, but all of us have things we’re afraid of. Maybe your little brother or sister is afraid of the dark... or snakes, or spiders. Maybe you get scared or nervous when there’s a really bad storm outside in the middle of the night. Maybe you’re afraid of having to get up and speak in front of a bunch of people. Or maybe it’s deeper than that. Maybe you’re afraid of something bad happening to the people you love.

So how do you face those things that you’re afraid of? What do you do when you know you need to tackle a fear head-on but you’re just too scared? Well, the best thing you can do is to remember that God is with you.

Did you know that the disciples—the guys who traveled with Jesus—were once very afraid? It’s true. One night, all the disciples got in a boat to travel across the Sea of Galilee while Jesus stayed on land so He could have some alone time to pray. While out on the boat, the wind picked up and started tossing the boat around. The waves were really hitting the boat hard. Just before dawn, when the boat and His disciples



were a long way from the shore, Jesus decided to walk out on the water to the boat. Wouldn’t it be so cool to walk on water?

As Jesus started to approach the boat in the middle of all this crazy wind, the disciples saw a figure on the water and were terrified! They thought that a ghost was coming after them! But then Jesus spoke and said, “Be brave. It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Peter told Jesus that if it was really Him, to call him out onto the water too. And Jesus agreed to Peter’s request. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water toward Jesus! Crazy, right? Apparently Peter thought it was crazy too, because all of a sudden, he took his eyes off Jesus. In that moment, he began to sink, crying, “Lord! Save me!” Then Jesus put His hand out to catch Peter and said, “Your faith is so small... Why did you doubt me?”

We do the same thing that Peter did. While we might not have to face a raging sea, we face things every day that make us fearful. And when we’re fearful, it’s easy to doubt that God is with us or that He can help us. In those moments, we need to remember the truth that God is right here with us. We also need to remember that He is bigger, stronger and more powerful than anything we will ever face. Since the biggest, most powerful One is with you all of the time, and He loves you and will protect you, there is nothing to be scared of. You can depend on God because He’s bigger than your fears.



57


1. When Peter was walking on the water to Jesus, does anyone remember why he started to sink? (He took his eyes off Jesus and started looking at the waves.)

2. When Peter was looking at the waves, he forgot something important. What was it? (He forgot to trust that Jesus was in control.)

3. Are there times when we “look at the waves” like Peter did? What happens when we forget that God is in control? (We live out of fear because we think we have to be in control instead of God. We hesitate instead of doing what God wants us to do.)

4. How do we act differently when we really believe God is bigger than our fears? (We’re more confident. We trust God more. We talk to Him about what’s going on. He gives us the courage and strength to face our fears.)

Let’s pray and ask God to help us remember this big truth the next time we need to face our fears.PrayerHeavenly Father, we know that You are the great big God. We know that You love us and have a good plan for each of our lives. When we face something that scares us, help us to stop and talk to You. Remind us that You are with us, always. Remind us that You are bigger than our fears. Remind us of Your great love for us. We trust that we can depend on You in every situation. We love You and we ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.




Review: › Virtue: TRUST - Putting your confidence in someone you

can depend on.


Bottom Line: I can depend on God because He’s bigger than my problems.

Have you ever faced a problem that you just weren’t sure how to solve? This isn’t math we’re talking about. These are real-life problems. Like, “Will I make any friends at my new school?” Or, “Will I be able to remember the plays at our next game?” Or, “Can I really share a room with my little brother without going crazy?”

The truth is, you’ll have different problems to tackle throughout your life. And when you’re in the middle of those situations, it’s easy to forget who’s really in control. The key is to remember that we never have to face any problem alone. Even when your brother is driving you crazy with his toys all over the place, or when you feel like you have no friends in your new class, or when you feel like you always drop the ball in front of everyone—those problems are really no problem to God. You can depend on God because He’s bigger than any of your problems.

For a minute or so, I want you to take some time and think about a problem you’re currently facing. It can be anything from home, to school, to your neighborhood or friendships. Think about it for just a minute.

(Give kids a minute or so to think.)



59

Now, there are some problems like we talked about before—problems where you might be able to do something, with God’s help, to solve it. For example, maybe you could add a toy box to your room where you can keep your little brother’s action figures so they’re not in the way so much. Or maybe you could challenge yourself to have a conversation with one new friend tomorrow. Or maybe you could spend some extra time practicing plays with your dad this weekend.

And then there are some problems that are bigger—problems that we can’t solve by ourselves. When we have a problem like that, it’s good to know that God puts people in our lives who we trust, who we can talk to about anything we might be facing. Maybe it’s a parent, a friend, a teacher, a leader from church, or a coach like me. We can talk to God . . . and we can tell them about it too.


1. Why do you think it’s so important to talk to God about our problems? (He cares. He understands. He is facing everything with you because He is with you all of the time. You can ask Him for wisdom about what to do.)

2. How can we trust God when things are going wrong? (We can trust that God is bigger than our problems. We can trust that He has a bigger plan, even if we can’t see it.)

3. What are some ways God helps us when we’re facing a big problem? (He gives us His strength and peace since we know He’s always with us. He gives us people we trust who we can talk to—a parent, coach, teacher, pastor, etc.)



No matter what kind of problem you might be facing, let’s bow our heads for a minute and spend some time talking to God about it. Because we can trust that He’s bigger and He understands exactly how we feel. In just a minute, I’ll close us in prayer.

(Give the kids a couple of minutes to pray on their own, then close with the prayer below.)

PrayerGod, it’s amazing to think that You are big enough to hear from each one of us, even as we all pray at the same time about so many different things. We know that You have everything under control and You already know how each of these problems will work out. Help us to trust You with our problems and believe that You are bigger than anything we might face. We love You, God. We ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Mid-Practice Huddle – Last Practice of the SeasonPractice Card Reminder: At the end of practice, remember to distribute the practice cards entitled “Last Practice.”

You are part of God’s Big Story!

› Scripture Verse: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NIV)

Bottom Line: God sent Jesus to forgive us of our sins.

Introduction:We’ve had a GREAT season! It’s been so much fun watching each of you become better basketball players and better friends with each other! We’ve learned a lot about basketball…but we’ve also learned a lot about ourselves and about others.Think about the things that we’ve learned during our huddle time this year. Do you remember the three virtues we’ve discussed? What were they? (Allow players to answer the question.)• First we learned about Respect. We learned that respect

is showing others they are important by what you say and do. It’s important to respect any person in authority but, even more importantly, we should respect God because He’s in charge of everything.

• Then we learned about Gratitude, which is letting others know you see how they’ve helped you. You know there’s always something to be thankful for in our lives. It just takes the right attitude to see it and to be grateful.

• Finally, we learned about Trust. We about three great reasons to trust God: He has a plan for your life, He’s bigger than your fears, and He’s bigger than your problems. Leaning on Him and putting your confidence in Him will allow you to hear what he has to say.

Listen to this week’s verse, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NIV)We have all made mistakes. The Bible tells us that because of sin, we are separated from God. But because God loves us so much, he provides a way back to him. Our verse teaches us that this way is through his son, Jesus. He sent His only Son, Jesus, to live a perfect life on earth and then pay the price for all of our sins on the cross. And because of that act of forgiveness, we can be with God forever.



I’ve got something else to tell you. Did you know that you are part of God’s BIG STORY? That’s right…he has a BIG STORY and each one of you are in it! You will learn more about that BIG STORY at the Award’s Celebration. It’s gonna be great! Let’s pray to God and thank him for all he’s done for us.Prayer:Dear God, thank you for an awesome season! Thank you for teaching us about Joy, Initiative and Forgiveness. Thank you for sending your son Jesus for each one of us. And thank you for reminding us today that You will always forgive us when we mess up. You are incredible! In Jesus’ name, we pray, amen.

Optional Last Practice Devotion – Gospel PresentationToday we’re going to talk about something very important. In fact, it’s the important thing you will ever hear. We’re going to talk about what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

The first thing you need to know is that God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. In fact, the whole reason he created us was to have a relationship with us. One of the most well-known verses in the Bible begins this way. “For God so loved the world”. God tells us that he loved the entire world…all of it…and everyone in it.

However, there is a big problem. We’ve all made a mistake. We’ve sinned. Does anyone know what sin is? Sin is anything we do, think or say that displeases God. This can come in a variety of ways. Lying, cheating, stealing, even being mean to a sibling or friend, intentionally disobeying your parents…



63



these are all examples of sin. I know that every one of us in here has sinned at least once.

There is a verse in the Bible that says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” When we sin, we are separated from God. Because God is perfect, there is no way to have a relationship with him until we are perfect as well.

Doesn’t sound good, does it? Well, it gets good…real good. Because God loves us so much he made a way to make us perfect again. He sent his son, Jesus, to live on earth over 2,000 years ago. Jesus lived a sinless life and was sacrificed on a cross for our sins. He died for us…so that we can be forgiven for our sins. And now the really amazing part…Jesus rose from the dead after three days! Now he’s living with God in heaven…but he promises that someday, he’s gonna come back. So the verse continues to say, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish… Does anyone know what “perish” means?

It means to die…but it’s not talking about perishing on earth…because one day we’ll all die and leave this earth. It’s talking about after that. It means that even though we will die on earth we can continue to live forever in Heaven with God…just like Jesus.

But in order to be forgiven of our sins, we have to believe that Jesus is God’s son and that he died on the cross for our sins, and that he rose from the dead and is waiting for us in heaven. The whole verse is John 3:16, and it says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

But what does it mean to believe? It simply means to have faith. Did you know we use faith every day? Let me show you what I mean. (Coach – have a chair in the gym. Ask a player to sit on the chair.) There you go. You just trusted the chair



65

would hold you up. You knew the chair was there, but it’s very different than putting your whole weight on it and trusting it would hold you up. Knowing it’s there and putting your trust in it is two very different things. It’s like when you believe in Jesus, you decide to trust him with your life. And when you do that, he makes us a huge promise! He promises to give us eternal life in heaven!

The bottom line is pretty simple. God wants you to be a part of his big story by believing his son, Jesus, died in your place for your sins... and then came back to life! If you believe in your heart that’s true, and are ready to trust

Jesus with your life, you can do that right now. There are no magic words that can put you in God’s family, only your faith in Jesus can do that. However, a simple prayer can kick off your relationship with God. If you’re ready to start living your life for God, simply say this prayer quietly in your own mind after me:

“Dear Jesus, I know that I’m a sinner and I need a savior. I believe you took my place and died the cross for my sins. I ask you to please forgive me for my sins. Come into my life and help me start living for you. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. “

If you just prayed that prayer, I’m so excited for you. I’d like to know who you are by asking you to tell me before practice is over. I want to know so I can follow up with you.




SECTION TWO

RULE LEVELS OF UPWARD BASKETBALL

SECTION TWO: RULE LEVELS

OF UPWARD BASKETBALL


The Levels of Upward BasketballUpward Basketball uses a four-level age appropriate format that grows with each young athlete. Each level of Upward Basketball is tailored to meet athletes where they are in their playing ability, allowing them to reach their full potential.

Each level of Upward Basketball includes a specific game format and rules. Levels 1-3 use a set of common rules with modifications designed for each level. However, Level 4 uses an exclusive set of rules that follow a traditional middle school format.

Basic Rules for Levels 1-3 *Note: These rules do NOT apply to Level 4. Except where the following rules apply, play is governed by the National Federation of State High School Associations’ (NFHS) Rules Book (www.nfhs.org )

Game Format1. Referees lead both teams in prayer at center court

before every game. This sets the tone and focus for the game.

LEVEL 4Implement middle school rules while competing at a high level


SECTION TWO: RULE LEVELS OF UPWARD BASKETBALL

69

2. A coin flip or other impartial method determines which team receives possession first. In jump ball situations, possessions will alternate. This promotes fairness for both teams while adhering to the NFHS rule for jump ball situations.

3. Clock format: Running clock throughout the game, stopping only for pre-determined substitutions at the end of each segment and halftime.

4. At the end of each segment, the team that receives the ball next is based upon the direction of the possession arrow. This avoids the offensive team that may have possession in the next segment from stalling at the end of a period.

5. All coaches will adhere to the substitution system as detailed in Guide 10. The substitution system allows for equal playing time for all players.

6. There are no timeouts. This allows more playing time and keeps the games on time.

7. Teams switch goals at halftime. This rule is in compliance with NFHS Rules. It also evens any advantage that may occur because of the court.

8. Any game ending in a tie should remain in a tie. No overtimes are played so games stay on schedule.

9. Standings add unneeded pressure to the game and therefore will not be maintained.




Rules for PlayDefense1. Man-to-man defense will be played at all times. Zone

defenses are not allowed in Levels 1-3. In a man-to-man defense, players are only guarding the opponent that closely matches their ability and height. This allows for a more competitive system for every player on the court while creating an equal opportunity for each player.

2. Defensive players must stay within arm’s reach of the player they are guarding. This prevents defenders from sagging or crowding an area of the court to gain a defensive advantage.

3. Double-teaming is not allowed. However, help defense is strongly encouraged in the following instances:

• Lane Area: If a defender is in the lane and the player he or she is guarding is within arm’s reach, the defender is allowed to provide help defense. Since many goals are scored in the lane, it provides the defense more opportunity to properly defend this area.

• Picks and Screens: Defensive switching is allowed on offensive picks or screens. The non-screened defender can help his or her teammate by temporarily switching until the teammate recovers to defend their offensive player. This is commonly referred to as ”help and recover.” This prevents the offense from continually setting screens to gain an advantage.



71

• Fast Breaks: When an offensive player has beaten their defender, another defensive player may help. Upon stopping the fast break, defenders should return to guarding their assigned players. This rule is meant to prevent the defenders from helplessly watching the offensive player score without being able to help.

4. At the beginning of each segment, players will line up at half court and “match up” with whom they are guarding. This act is performed to promote equal player match-ups. Equal match-ups combined with man-to-man defense create five competitive pairings on the court.

5. Full court presses are not allowed. Defensive players may not guard their opponents in the backcourt. This will allow for more play to occur in the front court and create an equal opportunity for each child to participate both on offense and defense.

6. Due to the shortness of the court, backcourt violations will not be called. If playing on a regulation-size court (84 feet) as opposed to cross-court, backcourt violations should be called.

7. A player committing two fouls in one segment must sit out the remainder of that segment. The next player in the rotation comes in as the substitute and is rewarded some extra game time. This does not change the normal rotation as the fouled-out player does not re-enter the game until he or she is scheduled to do so. This rule allows the offending player time to regroup during the remainder of the segment while realizing that there is a consequence for the violation.

Offense1. The offense must purposefully attack the defense in

every situation – no stalling. After a warning from the referee, a violation will be called resulting in a turnover. This will prevent a team with the lead from running the clock out by staying in the backcourt.

2. Isolation plays will not be a part of Levels 1-3 because they take away the opportunity for improvement for all players and contradict the spirit of the rules.

3. Non-shooting fouls will result in the ball being in-bounded from either the baseline or sideline. All shooting fouls will result in free throws. By not administering “bonus” situation free throws, all players on the court can contribute to consistent game action.

4. No score will be given for a basket in the wrong goal. It will be treated as a turnover. This will prevent further embarrassing a player for making this mistake.

All other rules have specific modifications for Levels 1-3. See the following charts for these modifications:




Level 1 Modifications

Rule Explanation/Comments

Goal Height 7 feet

Ball Size 25”

Games consist of six, 4-minute segments and an 8 minute halftime. One minute is allotted for substitutions between segments.

This keeps games to approximately a 45-minute time frame. It also allows each player to be in the game for shorter segments than older age divisions.

Score is NOT kept.The focus of this age is to learn fundamentals, not winning and losing.

3-second violation is NOT called.

Referees should advise players of this potential violation but not penalize.

Coaches are allowed on the floor with players.

The focus is for coaches to instruct and encourage players at all times.

Stealing the ball from the dribbler is NOT allowed.

To encourage the offensive player to dribble with correct form without the pressure of having the ball stolen.

Stealing the ball off a pass is NOT allowed.

To encourage the offensive player to pass with correct form without the pressure of having the ball stolen.

Violation is NOT called for having two hands on the ball while dribbling.

Due to limited hand-eye coordination, this allows a player to establish correct dribbling form through rhythm and pressure on the ball.



73

(Continued on next page)


Violation for double dribbling is called but does NOT result in a turnover.

Players should learn the concept of double dribble but should be allowed the opportunity to correct it without penalty.

Violation for traveling is called but does NOT result in a turnover.

Players should learn the concept of traveling but should be allowed the opportunity to correct it without penalty.

Violation for traveling is NOT called when a player shuffles feet when trying to set up for a shot.

Because this age group is single skill focused, players will tend to shuffle their feet when focusing on setting up for a shot. This is corrected as the player develops in skill as he gets older.

Fast breaks are NOT allowed in any transition situation.

This promotes a controlled game. Players at this age learn better when the pace is controlled.

Shooting fouls do NOT result in free throw attempts.

A player who gets fouled while shooting gets to retry his/her shot from the spot of the foul without being defended. Ball is live after shot is attempted. This allows a player to attempt a shot that he was trying to take prior to the foul from the same spot.




Level 1 Modifications (continued)



Goal Height 8 feet

Ball Size 25”


This keeps games to approximately an hour time frame.

Score is NOT kept.

Young athletes at this age should not focus on the score but rather the developmental skills being taught.

3-second violation is NOT called.

Young athletes at this age should focus on offensive basics (dribbling, passing, shooting, and rebounding).

Coaches are allowed to walk the sidelines to encourage and instruct players.


Free throws are awarded on all shooting fouls.

Two shots are attempted by the fouled player at the 10’ line. Coaches may quickly come onto the court to line up remaining players in proper free throw positions. After the second shot, the ball will be inbounded by the opposing team regardless of shot result.



75



Stealing the ball off a dribble or pass is allowed.

Players at this age should be taught and held to these basic basketball rules.

Double dribble violation is called in all circumstances.

Traveling violation is called in all circumstances.

Fast breaks are allowed in any transition situation.



Goal Height 9 feet

Ball Size 28.5”


This keeps games to approximately an hour time frame.

Score is kept.

Young athletes at this age should learn how to handle winning and losing after competition. This translates into life lessons.

3-second violation is called and results in a turnover.

At this age, young athletes should understand the concept of offensive movement by not allowing an offensive player to stay in the lane more than 3 seconds.




Level 2 Modifications (continued)

Continued on next page


Coaches allowed to walk the sidelines to encourage and instruct players.


Clock runs continuously with special rules in effect with fewer than two minutes remaining in the game:

› Non-shooting fouls result in the offensive team getting one point and the ball.

› Shooting fouls result in the offensive team scoring two points. The opposing team then takes possession.

› Players fouled in the act of shooting and making the basket are credited with the basket plus one point. The opposing team then takes possession.

Because the clock does not stop, this rule keeps the game moving without wasting the running game clock on lining up for free throw attempts.

Free throws are awarded on all shooting fouls.

Two shots are attempted by the fouled player at the 12’ line. Remaining players assume proper free throw positioning. Ball is live if second shot is missed.

Stealing the ball off a dribble or pass is allowed

Players at this age should be taught and held to these basic basketball rules.

Double dribble violation is called in all circumstances

Traveling violation is called in all circumstances

Fast breaks are allowed in any transition situation



77




Level 4 Rules*The following rules are exclusive to Level 4. They follow a more traditional middle school format and game play. Except where the following rules apply, play is governed by the National Federation of State High School Associations’ (NFHS) Rules Book (www.nfhs.org)

Game Format


Referees lead both team in prayer at center court before every game.

This sets the tone and focus for the game.

Goal Height 10 feet

Ball Size 28.5” (girls), 29.5’ (boys)

Games consist of 4, six-minute quarters.

Follows middle school rules and allows game to begin and end within an hour timeframe.

The clock stops at each whistle.Stoppage of play includes violations, fouls, out-of-bounds play, timeouts, and injury.

Overtimes are 2 minutes in length (regulation clock).

Gives both teams the opportunity to win the game with reasonable extended time. If still tied at the end of the overtime period, the game ends in a tie.

Teams are allowed one (1) 30-second timeout per half (1 per team per half).

This allows a coach to meet with players and adjust strategy during a game.

All games are played on a full-sized regulation court (no cross court).

This is appropriate floor size for players at this level.



79

Rules for Play


A jump ball is used to start the game and overtime period.

Athletes at this age have the physical ability to jump for the ball to obtain possession. It also follows the NFHS rules for starting a game or overtime.

Zone and man defenses are allowed (both should be used throughout the season).

Players at this level possess the ability to defend and attack both zone and man principles. Zone and man defenses are a part of the game of basketball and should be understood by players as they prepare for the next level.

Press defense is allowed in the backcourt at all times except if a team has a 15-point advantage.

To promote fairness and integrity of the game, teams with a 15-point advantage should drop into a basic half-court defense.

All players are allowed five (5) fouls each game. After the 5th foul is committed, the player is out for the remainder of the game.

After the seventh team foul in each half, bonus free throws are awarded to the fouled team (1 and 1).

This rule follows traditional middle school rules format.

Three point shots are allowed only if the court features a three-point arc.

Courts without a 3-point line should not award 3 points no matter the shot distance






Playing time requirements for each player in Level 4 are: • Each athlete plays a minimum of ¼ of each game. • Each athlete must play in both halves of each game.

Level 4 does not use the substitution system found in Levels 1-3. This allows flexibility in managing playing time for each coach based on the game situation while promoting fair game participation for all players.

End of season tournaments are highly encouraged for Level 4

End of season tournament play adds excitement to your league. A minimum of 2 games per team in tournament play.
