With this book, we aim to provide information to coaches of developmental ages, as well as to young athletes, regarding the categories we distinguish in the various ages of the developmental phase, how we allocate training time depending on each specific age, and how we plan the training, enriched with many tables.

With a large and specialized exercise program, consisting of 279 exercises, from the simplest to the most complex, 60 supplementary exercises, and 127 variations, better explained by 304 diagrams. Which exercises coaches should use, how to perform them, for each technical and partial tactical subject separately, to function better in the challenging task of training young athletes. All exercises are described: with the purpose, the number of athletes, the equipment to be used, the procedure of the exercise, any supplementary exercises or variations, the duration of the exercise, the coaching points to pay attention to, and the age group that can use them.

We believe that this book will greatly assist the efforts of coaches, as well as young basketball players, and will contribute to enriching the scarce literature on the sport of basketball.

It concerns our behavior towards these athletes, the improvement of their technique, as well as the way these young athletes should train.
