As coaches, we all know parents can be your greatest supporters—or your biggest challenge. When managed well, they’re powerful allies in building team culture, supporting athletes, and enhancing the overall experience.

Drawing a charge is one of the most selfless—and underrated—plays in basketball. It doesn’t show up on many highlight reels, but it’s a momentum-shifting play that energizes the bench, frustrates opponents, and builds your team’s defensive identity. Teaching players how to draw charges the right way requires proper technique, courage, timing, and basketball IQ.

Teaching proper shooting mechanics is essential for helping players become consistent scorers and confident athletes. Whether you’re coaching youth players or seasoned high school athletes, focusing on the fundamentals of shooting can make a significant difference in performance.

Team meetings are more than just a calendar obligation—they’re an opportunity to build unity, strategize, and drive your program forward.
