This program is about "Active Start", learn fundamental movements and incorporate them into play, however, depending on individual physical development stage and maturing rates your child may be too early to begin developing basketball skills.
It is important to remember that a child's ability to master fundamental movement skills takes time and series of development stages is typically required. Despite children maturing at different rates, each one learns fundamental movement skills in the same phases:
When a child can learn a skill - Must wait until brain is mature and muscles are strong enough
The child is ready to learn the skill - Muscles and nerves have developed so the child now has to learn the skill under simple instruction and practice.
The optinum time to learn the skill - The best time to teach a skill varies based on the child and maturation.
Time for remedial work - The time to overcome learning deficits and develop the skills needed to gain confidence.
