Is making practice fun the same as making it competitive?


Many coaches think fun means chaos and competition means stress, but that balance is much trickier—and more rewarding—than you think. This week, Coach Steve Collins and Coach Bill Flitter, the minds behind Coaching Youth Hoops, break down how to blend fun and competition for lasting impact.


Are your players really looking forward to practice—or just waiting for it to end?


This episode unlocks:




  • How to finish practice so kids leave smiling (and learning)




  • Ways to sneak essential skills into ā€œfunā€ drills




  • The secret to letting kids own part of practice




Don’t miss future wisdom—there’s more game-changing content coming.
