[quote=Anonymous]Your daughter should focus on getting rebounds and creating her own shot.

If your daughter gets good at crashing the offensive glass and making putbacks, she can probably get 4-8 points a game.  If she’s not boxed out, she should make offensive rebounds/putbacks on free throws.  From there, she can start bringing the ball down after getting a defensive rebound, then working on getting steals and scoring in transition.  On  a rec team there should be a lot of opportunity for stealing bad passes.

It’s a really good skill for any player to be able to create for themselves.  Basketball is a team sport, but when your kid goes to tryouts or a showcase or all star game, the other kids will all try to play hero ball to show off their skills.  However, a player’s effort in rebounding and stealing bad passes is always within their control and doesn’t depend on teammates, and the player can get shots by getting steals and rebounds.

Also, once she becomes a more aggressive rebounder and defender, she’ll get the ball more  because other kids will assume she’s a good player.  [/quote]
