"An excellent video geared to the youth basketball parent/coach and public school coach, 48 Championship Basketball Drills, created by Marty Schupak and the Youth Sports Club (producers of The 59 Minute Baseball Practice), offers a straightforward, no nonsense presentation of 48 drills clearly and effectively illustrated by a coach and his team. The exercises include shooting drills, passing drills, and ball handling drills, and the program also features "ten valuable tips" for coaches and sample practices. Coaches will find this video easy to use, either in their own regimens or in simply showing the film to the players themselves. Age recommendations are presented for each drill, and are presented so clearly and concisely. This valuable tool is highly recommended.

"An excellent teaching tool for the parent/coach"
-National Youth Coaches Association (NYSCA)
"I coach my son’s recreational team and the shooting drills in this video are some of the best I've seen."
- Jack C. (Youth Coach) Dallas, Texas
"This video is a must for first time coaches who want to run an effective practice"
- Tony B. (Junior High School Coach) Paramus, NJ
"Aimed at coaches of players age 7 to 18, this basic, straightforward video shows male teenage players demonstrating drills used in practice: conditioning, defense, ball handling, passing, shooting and rebounding. Before each drill a diagram appears on the screen. All drills are shown very clearly, so the diagrams aren't essential. Also the narrator recommends the age group for each drill ( e.g., "ages 12 and up"). The tape ends with four Sample Practices, with suggested times for each drill to compromise one or two hour sessions. The production values are excellent. Youth coaches always need new ideas; 48 Championship Basketball Drills fulfills this need."
- Kathy Ruffle of the "Library Journal" April 2001
"I have faithfully used this video over the course of a CYO basketball season consisting of 12 year old boys and saw visible results. This has been my third year coaching and I have taken bits & pieces from books and videos through the course of each season to help me in organizing the offense, defense and practices. This has become my favorite resource for practices and some individual skills. Out of the 48 drills, I rotated using about five or six at each of our practices. The results were positive. Toward the middle of the season, I knew which of the drills worked best for my team and which ones they enjoyed most. There are also numerous tips that coaches wil find useful. Our team's favorite drills were the creative shooting drills. There were probably 20-22 of them. All in all I would say this is very worthwhile to the following: parents, youth coaches with kids ages 8-16,and middle school coaches. What this video may lack is absolute perfect basketball technique, but it makes up two fold in overall creativity and usefulness. Great value!"
