Lenny Wilkens Legacy Basketball Clinic Series - The Basics

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Individual Offensive and Defensive Instruction
Review: These two videos offer excellent instruction in basic individual offensive and defensive techniques. The videos are well made and clear, but not highly entertaining. While I think they could be used for young kids, the viewing time would have to be limited or their attention would quickly drift.

Rating:
Summary: Not for kids!
Review: This instruction is not kid-friendly. It's very complicated and dry. Probably much better for high-school-aged kids. My 9 year old tuned out after 10 minutes of the Defense video and doesn't want to go back. Recommend "Pistol Pete's Homework Video" series for youngsters and leave Lennie Wilkens to the established players.

Summary: Outstanding video for the right age group
Review: This is an outstanding video. The pace is right and the voice over is the right speed. I bought it for my 7 and 8 year old daughters, but realized that they would only be able to digest the large amount of information in small bites. So we watch and then break to practice. You may wish to sit thru each video in one sitting, but spread it out for your kids. Like the Chinese say (my kids are half Chinese) Hear and forget, see and remember, do and understand. Excellent pair of videos.

Review: We watched the first tape tonight (offensive basics) and we were delighted with it. As some reviewers have noted, it is not entertaining; but, that's not why I got the tape. We have many tapes and DVDs that ARE entertaining. This one does one thing and does it well: it teaches kids the fundamentals of roundball and gives them great drills. I had to stop the tape so they could go to bed--they loved it. Highly recommended.
