Five-Star Basketball Drills

Five-Star Basketball Drills Review

The Five Star Basketball Camps are legendary for helping players develop basic and advanced skills. Many of the same drills used at the camps are explained in this book.

It is a great source of information and ideas for youth basketball coaches, middle school/junior high coaches, sub-varsity coaches and varsity coaches.

It includes details about how to get the finer points of a given skill across to players.

A solid resource for coaches.
