I volunteered to coach basketball for a 4th grade boys' team at my old elementary school. This is the first time I'm coaching. I have played basketball for a long time so I know a lot of drills and I know how to play the game. I just want to make this practice suited best for their age and make it fun. I also have an assistant coach to help out. I was just wondering from anyone who has coaching expertise or has advice- what should I start off the practice with? What are the best order to do drills in, etc. If anyone can help that would be great!

They need to learn the basics - dribbling, passing, and, of course, shooting. Find some cones - actually, chairs would work even better - around which they can dribble. Teach them how to bounce pass and chest pass. Teach them how to line up along the lane during free throws. Teach them how to shoot - not "throw" the ball - at the basket. The order of any drills you do should be the way that you did them in high school.

Sounds like you've got the experience and the desire, but don't forget to keep it fun (for the kids, not you!) At this age, fundamentals and a love for the game is the most important things to develop. Good luck!!
