Coaches Tips and Drills

The purpose of this information is to assist EPWBA coaches with their training programs.   Of course, content of training at the novice level will be more basic than training at the senior level.   For instance, novice training needs to start at the beginning - like there are 5 players on each team on the court at any one time.

The following material was developed by Vince Kush.   If you have specific questions or comments about it, you can email him from the home page or give him a call.
