This is what I've tried to teach my daughter's team that I am coaching....they are only 7-8 year olds and really don't get the screen concept or what it does for them but I introduced it (with much frustration ). It's not the screener I'm having trouble with...the girls will stand still...it's the dribblers that like to work sideline to sideline in stead of driving to the cup!!

The times I coached my son's team or helped out at the Dad's club or travel teams, or my nephews' teams...that's the way I always presented it to them. Shoulder to shoulder is the best means for teaching.

Easier to teach the older kids for sure!
