Abstract

In developing a successful basketball program there are certain components that must be present. Creating a philosophy based on the beliefs of the coach and the concept of expectations and goal setting are imperative to long-term success. Organization of the overall program including its philosophy, goals, and how to go about teaching the correct mechanics and ftmdamentals are essential in creating a handbook for women's high school basketball coaches. The purpose of this project was to create a handbook of activities and strategies to be used by individuals who are seeking to coach basketball at the high school level. A review of related literature was conducted. Information from other high school and college basketball programs was gathered, analyzed, and then presented in a high school basketball coaches handbook.
