So some people in our group had already done basketball. Twice. The first time was just more of a pick-up game in a park and the second time was with a youth coach. Both times, a couple of people weren't able to make it for one reason or another. We decided we'd try once more, getting some instruction from a student from R's church, who holds basketball clinics for kids.
We met as his house one nice Saturday morning and got to work on warming up and stretching, then we went straight into some dribbling drills. We made sure to work with both hands, both standing and sitting. Then we moved on to some passing and shooting drills, just between two of us, no basket. Next up was jump shots, then layups. We wrapped up with a couple of games. The first was where two people would shoot at the same time and the first to get a basket would knock out the other, only for the next person up to join in. The second was everyone with their own ball in a small square. We had to maintain a dribble and control of our own ball, while trying to knock the balls of the opponents out of the square.
We had a fun time and finally all got to work on basketball together.
