for career wins as his 5 year-old St. John Bosco Eagles defeated St. Paul's 12 to 2 on Sunday afternoon!
It was funny... kids running the wrong way... shooting at the wrong basket... My 2-3 Zone defense seemed to work... and the kids displayed pretty damm good foot work!
Thanks to all who gave me the advice earlier!
Don't look back Pop.... I'm a gaining!

You betcha!
I taught them to "stay home".... At practice, I put a small cone at their spot... had them follow the ball around the wings, and trap inside... if they
"wander", which they do of course... I just yell "Soandso... go home"... and they do....
A zone keeps them from all converging on the ball.... :)

That's why I was laughing. At that age/level, you are usually coaching "bunch-ball". Everyone wants to be near the ball.
Good luck with that. :lol
You got 5 year olds playing Zone?
I had enough trouble gettin 10 year olds to do it :lol
