I'm your host, Bill Flitter, joined by co-host Steve Collins, and in today's episode, we tackle the crucial topic of End of Game Management—how to effectively prepare your team to handle the final moments of a close game. We start by discussing the necessity of simplifying instructions for young players, employing methods like the red light, yellow light, green light strategy to help them understand when to hold the ball, take a high-percentage shot, or play freely within the offense. We also delve into practical drills and scenarios to make these concepts second nature to the players, emphasizing the importance of practicing both offensive and defensive end-of-game situations. Additionally, we share real-life coaching experiences and simple but effective strategies like the "hot potato" drill, designed to maintain ball control and run out the clock. This episode is packed with actionable insights and tips tailored for youth coaches.
