For Basketball Parents

SUPPORT THE PLAYER. UNDERSTAND THE JOURNEY.

Basketball development can bring a lot of questions. LYGS helps families better understand training, development and the opportunities available to their athlete.

The Parent's Role

DEVELOPMENT IS A JOURNEY.

Parents are an important part of a young athlete's basketball experience. The decisions families make about training, competition and development can shape how an athlete experiences the game.

At LYGS, we want parents to understand that development is not defined by one workout, one game or one season. Players grow through consistent work, appropriate challenges, learning and time.

Understanding Development

LOOK BEYOND THE BOX SCORE.

Player development involves more than points scored or games won. LYGS approaches development through multiple areas that contribute to a more complete basketball player.

01

Mind

Confidence, discipline, resilience and the mentality required to keep developing.

02

Skill

Building basketball fundamentals and improving the ability to execute them consistently.

03

IQ

Learning to read the game, make decisions and understand what is happening on the court.

04

Body

Developing movement and physical qualities that support basketball performance.

05

Pathway

Helping athletes and families understand the opportunities and next steps in their journey.

Making Decisions

ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.

The right basketball environment should make sense for where the athlete is now and where they are trying to go next.

01

What does my athlete need to improve right now?

02

Is the training appropriate for their age, experience and current level?

03

Are they learning how to understand and play the game, not simply completing drills?

04

Are training and competition being used together in a way that supports development?

05

What should the next stage of their basketball development look like?
