Targeted for high-caliber, self-motivated player,
By
This review is from: Basketball for Women (Paperback)
A really good book for a select audience. For younger players or those not motivated enough to focus their energy and effort at this level, I highly recommend the two companion VHS tapes on offense and defense/rebounding. However, if you are a middle or high-school player who really wants to raise your game, you can't go wrong here.

One of the best basketball books out there,
By
This review is from: Basketball for Women (Paperback)
I have been coaching girls basketball for the last severalyears and am often looking for suitable books to give my players to help them work on their own to further develop their skills. This is the best book I have seen for a junior high or high school player. I covers every aspect of the game, not just skills, but also physical training.

A Must for Coaches of Girls Basketball,
By David Heaukulani (Hilo, Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basketball for Women (Paperback)
When I started coaching girls basketball (3rd-9th graders) 3 years ago this was the second book I picked up. Now I have about 35 books and 20 videos but I use this as the central reference for my playbook and training manual in coaching fundamentals. Some of the skills may be too advanced for younger kids but they will grow up and adapt to it when they return to you a little older and better skilled thanks to this reference. It should be used in conjunction with the videos by the author (available also from Amazon). If Nancy Lieberman-Cline ever sponsors a clinic I will be on the first plane to get there. As a player-coach-teacher she is the best for girls basketball!
