Best developmental program??

[asary]

If a young basketball player, say in middle school or as a freshman, could pick any area program to participate in, which would offer him the best opportunity to develop and maximize his skills as he progresses toward the varsity level....and why??

[BLUEDOVE3]

Depends on the players skill level. The problem I see is that many/most players don't have the fundamentals
(dribbling, shooting, & passing). I'm an advocate for kids that age playing a lot of 3v3 basketball.

[Team Game]

My original thought was Nederland or Hardin Jefferson for overall program. Both have seen the importance of working with the youth to build programs. However, with the changes the AD is making in Nederland, I have to think HJ has lots to offer with a full staff that knows and understands the game of basketball.

Its the extra "outside" work thats going to benefit the kids, not sending them to a program to play and learn their fundamentals. Coaches don't have the time to teach someone how to dribble, pass and shoot by time they enter high school. By high school its usually too late.  ;)

So, you are asking which "program" (aka high school) one should send their kids to be better basketball players? WOW!!!

Isn't there a UIL rule about transferring for "athletic" reasons? Clearly you are not suggesting that you send your kid to another school just for that purpose. Will you be moving to this "other" school's district?


Sadly, I agree with Dove, if a player hasn't got the fundamentals by high school, he/she is way behind.

[Coach Schrapps]

The three youth programs who are the most fundamentally sound in terms of player skills and team concepts are in no particular order Nederland (Central and C.O. Wilson) Hardin Jefferson or Henderson and St. Anne. I've seen alot of teams play and these are the teams that routinely have a system that their players execute.

Don't despair, Dove is you are finding things to be less confrontational than you wanted.  Just start a thread saying you are moving your kids for athletic purposes.  That ought to stir it up a little.

I was rolling my eyes at aaw.  Sorry

No reason for anyone to want to go to HJ for basketball.  Program has terrible history.  Coaches are incompetent and they dont get much out of the talent that they have.
