First and foremost fuck a hallmark holiday, much love and respect to all the real brothers who stepped up and are real dads.

I just have a few questions to ask, I was raised by my mom cuz my dad was a bitch so some things are new to me concerning certain things.

I wanna teach my lil man to hoop, not to be the next Kobe but more to give him a way to use all that energy he has in a positive way. He's bigger than most kids his age (he's 3 but he's almost 3 1/2 feet, about 50 lbs) He always wants to hoop but he doesn't have the arm strength to shoot yet, he shoots and it's nowhere near the rim. He keeps trying so I keep lettin him do his thing?

Should I just wait a lil for his body to develop the strength or is there a way to help him shoot higher?
 
Work on the things that he can develop at this age, like his left hand and general coordination.


When he get's a little older he can start to practice driving the lane and layups.

I think they say kids can't shoot the ball with proper form until they're about 8 or 9, so no sense in him picking up bad mechanical habits by practicing that at this age.

Again, developing dexterity in both hands will go a long way in him picking up every sport; not just basketball.


But you said you're not looking to raise the next Kobe, so this advice may not apply.



 
He is way to young to start teaching him anything. At this age it is all about having fun. All you need to do at this age is be out there with him.

You generally start teaching techniques when he shows a love for the sport or any other sport. This happens at about the age 7. Until then just allow him to continue his natrual motor development unaided.
 
^^^^^

What he said. Develop his dribbling, and at 50 lbs his footwork. Hand eye coordination now, and don't sweat the buckets yet. 10 foot pole is going to be out of his reach for a couple more years. Get a smaller court for him to shoot on, but work on the rest of his game. Don't limit him to basketball alone though, let him try more sports, and activities to get rid of that energy too. My 3 year old plays the drums, soccer, tee ball and football now. Drums are his favorite, got his coordination right, and he's learning how to read music.

Other than a toy hoop, basketball is probably going to be frustrating til he's about 6.

I would get him in soccer if you want him to be in something organized. There's a lot of common skills that he can pick up in soccer that translate to basketball or football.

Props I say get him a small hoop he can reach and teaxh him the intangibles of the game.. But realize hes only 3
 
Soccer is better at that age....and for his physical and mental development too.

buy a rim that has adjustable height. Most rec center that have pee wee ball also have rims that can be let down.

you can teach him fundamentals and he can shoot on the reduced height.

I started with my son a little before age 5

This is a very good series to give you some ideas and drills for little man

Here are a couple sites to help you with fundamentals as well..

Good luck with your dude.
 
Been there bruh and still teaching..and trust me he is too small to play on a 10ft goal and he may get frustrated he cant get the ball to reach the goal and dislike basketball. What I did is get a smaller ball could be a kids ball or a female regulated ball and I let my son play with that instead of the ball i use. I mostly play dribbling and passing games for the time being and he enjoys that. Kids will start off with terrible form just to reach the hoop when shooting and its cool because I thought back to when i was a kid and I did the same thing until I was about 10. You can teach proper form when he gets stronger and older what is important know is hand eye coordination and letting him see others play and he will learn. Like someone else said soccer and all other sports are good because you may not even have a basketball player. See what HE likes and go from there let him be his own person and support him in what ever sport he enjoys
 
Props to the real fathers!!!! My opinion......both of my parents were university lecturers...so....education is as important if not more than athletic development. Start out by trying to read at least a book a day to your son. Play with your son as much as possible....wait a few more years before trying to get him to learn how to shoot a basketball....soccer is great for kids as it only involves kicking and a lot of running around.

Kicking the ball.
Playing catch
Running around
Flying kites.

That will help his coordination naturally.

let me ask you something that many parents dont think about... how do you know that your kid will be into hooping??? as much as it hurts me my nephew is not into sports two jumpers and he is tired and it is not like he is one of those fat kids either. i think part of being a good parent is being able to relate to your kids and learning to excel at and do things they like
 
GET HIM A CHESS BOARD AND DEVELOP HIS MIND, THEN WHEN HE'S READY FOR ANY SPORT, HE WILL HAVE DEVELOPED STRATEGY WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PHYSICALITY...

For right now keep it simple. His desires can change from moment to moment so don't invest too much now until you know for sure he enjoys basketball. As others have said buy him a lower rim. You don't want him getting so frustrated he wants to quit. Remember at single didgit she kids are just balls of emotions.

Finally as a just in case get one of these.

Please just dnt limit him to one sport, teach him basketball football baseball even soccer. Sometimes we forget their r more than one sport. Many that we can just have fun with..

my point is that it's a little kid. talking about dribbling with off hands and shit is stupid.
Click to expand...

but dribbling drills are not.... starting him with simple shit like passing is not....they can use something like a volleyball since his hands are small.

and those dumb ass playschool hoops won't last till he is 4...they are a waste of money just like those damn easy bake ovens.

a five foot rim using a smaller ball isn't out of the questions... dude said the child is already 3 1/2 feet tall.

Exactly. I gave my son a basketball and a football cause he wanted them and I thought those were great sports for him. This summer I got him a wiffle ball and bat just for the hell of it and saw that he actually has some skill with hitting. It was a throwaway bullshit $4 investment and its given little man a whole summer of fun.

Yeah but come on. You recommending a $1000 rim to a guy with a 3 yr old kid who may not even want to play next year.
 
This is the best post I have seen in a long time. I know its just about basketball but its crazy that there is more mentoring done during this post that is done some Black communities, homes or families right now.

Maybe because I am a female I am getting too emotional but I enjoyed reading this post.

Props to all the real dads on the board! :yes::yes::yes:

Forget any sport. Teach him to enjoy athletics as a whole. Teach him structure. Play roughly then stop immediately and make him calm down. Teach him to be active for short bursts and then to be s till and calm. Control his emotions and his physicality. Pushups and situps and 6 inches and the like. Develop his muscles WITHOUT weights. Make it so that he has a physical advantage over everyone else his age. Make it fun. Reward him for doing exercise but reward him with praise and smiles and hugs. Withhold praise then he isn't compliant. Be effusive with praise when you give it. The point is to make him a physical specimen and used to being in physical stress. Emotional control and physical control are the foundations of any sport and in large degree the foundation of life.

What does this have to do with the OP's question? So as a father you aren't allowed to play with your son?

OP, if you are playing on full size hoops there is no way that little man is going to be able to get the ball up unless he's throwing it underhanded. But at this point it really doesn't even matter. If you ever watch any small kids games of any sport it is straight comedy. Just spend quality time with your son and he will turn out fine. At this age, the fact that you're showing him attention and allowing him to be a kid at the same time is more important than any fundamentals that he will be able to develop at this age. The fact that you even asked the question leads me to beleive that you're probably doing better than you may be giving yourself credit for.

don't push him into anything, if he really likes hoops then let him decide. he's 3 so he isn't gonna do anything and he isn't gonna understand all that stuff just have fun for 3 years then when he's 6 start teaching him for now its just play time.

my dad was a hooper but i wanted to play baseball
so he learned baseball then taught/coached it with me.

long as you put the time in it doesn't matter what he wants to play just be there
