[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It is rec and they are 8. Your job is to teach basketball and make sure the kids want to continue to learn and play. Spend more time teaching the fundamentals of the skill aspect and worry less about tactics.[/quote][/quote] That's naïve. Kids at ages 8 and 9 know full well who wins and loses. Some are even veterans of travel baseball and soccer, so they get it. What you really need to do is figure out how to get your good kids time as a unit so they know how to play in travel, while not completely hosing yourself otherwise. So play the last quarter with your four good kids plus one other one--maybe the fastest of the remaining kids so he can get in the way on defense. Go with your two good kids together in the third quarter as well, so they can run pick-and-rolls, give and go's, and other two-man games. That means in the first half you'll split your two good players, so each sits the required quarter.[/quote]
