Youth Basketball

So, recently we signed Alec up for youth basketball. He was super excited to play and be on a real basketball team. A few days before the first practice all the parents got a mass email requesting volunteers for more coahces or the season would be cancelled. Needless to say I volunteered. I didn't know what I was getting in to. We have had 2 practices, and I am struggling to come up with drills and games the kids can play and do to learn the fundamentals. Of course all the drills I remember are from high school, so they don't really work for 6,7, and 8 years olds. Our first game is next week, so I will let you know how the mighty mighy Purple Tigers do. (no, i did not get to pick the team name). Oh, and if any of you have any ideas please let me know.
