Impact Of Skill Training To Develop Coordination And Some Offensive Skills Ending With Shooting Among Youth Basketball

Abstract

Primary responsibility of a basketball coach is to maintain a dynamic connection between a player's skill performance and specific vocabulary of game, including required skills and precise movements, to reach a high level. This study aims to identify impact of skill training on developing basketball coordination and its effect on improving specific offensive skills culminating in basketball shooting.  researchers defined research community as Hilla Sports Club, specifically youth category.  participants, numbering (16) players, were classified into two groups: a control and an experimental which consisting of (8) players for each one.  Researchers used an experimental method with two groups, employing a pre-test followed by application of training program, and then a post-test. This was achieved through presentation and analysis.  results show differences in performance of the research sample. Researchers attributes these differences to  effectiveness of  specific physical and skill-based exercises implemented by coach and support staff on participants. Study concluded that skill-based training improves coordination and shooting accuracy among young basketball players, enhances long-range shooting accuracy with jump shots, and develops offensive shooting skills among young basketball players.  researchers recommend widespread adoption of specialized training programs that prioritize physical conditioning before skill-based exercises, practical application of skill-based training in various sporting events for young basketball players to improve their shooting skills.
