Abstract
In youth sports, specifically basketball, coaches tend to believe drills as the most effective way to develop skills and make their players more capable. An alternative way to do typical drills is to implement small-sided games. In this column, we elaborate on the benefits and suggest a practice plan for youth basketball coaches to better implement small-sided games into practice.
