Small Gym Advice

[Dan_ref]

Here's some good advice:

Generally the T has much more room than the L. This means the T has to be very aggresive - don't be afraid to call into the leads area, be ready to help on out of bounds plays, etc.

There's going to be a lot more contact simply because there's not so much room. Be prepared either to let the extra contact go or to call it. Whatever you do be consistent.

Make sure on throw-in's you consistly enforce the 3 foot area where he defender must stay out of. I wouldn't worry about throwing T's, just make sure they undrstand how far they must be away from the line.

The little kids are more intense than the little-little kids and usually so are the parents. Closer quarters can make this unpleasant.

Usually the bench & table are right on the sidelines as well. Make the bench kids keep their feet off the floor. Keep the coaches off the court, they don't have to wander far before they're in the way on these small courts.
