Spacing, Passing & Off Ball Movement Is Key 2 Success

When playing solid basketball, it's very important that each player understands that proper spacing aligned with proper passing and effective off the ball movement is key to running a successful offense.

Players who must have the ball in their hands in addition to taking more than 2-3 dribbles without attacking the basket or passing the ball is called over dribbling.

Over dribbling stagnates the offense, reduces effective movement (causes teammates to stand), slows the game down and ultimately cause the offense to fail.

What's Next 4 Me, 4 You?

Building Believers Inc. & Hoop Hunter Basketball Inc. will be hosting "Champions for Christ Breakfast" Events

Sponsored by "Christ 4 Life"

The goal of these events is to spread the Gospel and love of Jesus Christ into the lives and hearts of students and student- athletes. Each week there will be a series of topics and subjects relative to growing up and living a responsible Christ-Centered Life.

I will speak at many of these events as well as bring in suitable guest speaker at times.

For starters, these series of events will only be offered to middle and high school students and student-athletes.

Most breakfast events will be held prior to the beginning of school (parents may drop off, car pool and/or stay). Some events will be scheduled for early Saturday mornings.

Stay tuned, as we are currently working on our game plan. We would love for you to become a part of this wonderful community event.

P.S. H.S. Musicians and singers wanted. If you're an adult and/or responsible youth and you would like to volunteer please send me an email at: hoophunter@hoophunter.com

Youth Personal Hygiene Check

Parents please check your kids personal hygiene. Once a child turns a certain age (and as their activity level increase) they start to perspire more than usual and because of it, they may need to start putting on deodorant and a little smell good.

Just saying!

Someday

Someday in this cold, cold world, when all God's children are on fire for the lord (at the same time), the heat that radiates from our love (for Jesus), our commitment and faithfulness will keep us all warm, like an old fashion blanket (sewn by hand).

Christian's are called by God to promote & spread the Gospel.

Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

What to do when you don't get the ball?

~If I were you & I never got the ball passed to me, what would I do? 

"I would become a Garbage Collector"~

The bible say's, "it's more of a blessing to give than it is to receive" so, I would take that to heart and try to apply it to my play on the court.

So, during games that I never get passed the ball or when I get it and I'm asked to pass it to someone else, I would gladly pass it to the person that the coach prefers to shoot and simply head to the basket to get the rebound (assuming that they are going to miss).

In theory, I would train my brain to think that almost every time my teammates shoot, the shot is going to be missed and become garbage. And I, (the garbage collector) would hustle towards the basket while anticipating where the missed shot is going to fall, get the rebound and recycle the missed shot (putting it back in the basket).

At the end of the game, my stats would look like this, (garbage collector) 20 rebounds and 40 points.

Not to shabby huh!
