Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the type of content that was planned for youth basketball training at initiation stages as well as the factors that determine this planning. A case study of a novice mini-basketball coach (U12) was carried out Two basketball seasons were analyzed. All 856 training tasks were studied, as well as the pedagogical knowledge of the coach. The results indicate that during season 1 the tasks were aimed at improving technique, specifically content related to individual offensive skills, while during season 2 they were aimed at improving tactics. The results demonstrate a shift in the coach’s beliefs regarding training in the same way as the aims of the tasks. To work on technique, drills and unopposed training situations (1-on-0) were utilized. To work on tactics, games, training situations (1-on-1) and small-sided games (2-on-2, 3-on-3) were utilized. There is a discrepancy between the coach’s beliefs and his actions regarding the best training practices for working on technique. The characteristics of the players, their learning rate, their formative stage, and factors related to the basketball coach’s professional development (mentoring and experience level) affected his planning of the technical and tactical content.
