Brown's Basketball Teaching System (BBTS) teaches basketball skill and the habits underneath it — attention, choice, recovery — at the same time, in the same drill.
Not a curriculum bolted onto basketball practice. The basketball practice itself is the classroom.
Dribbling, passing, footwork, shooting — taught through named drills with consistent cue language, not vague general instruction.
Attention, noticing, choice, and recovery after a mistake — taught through basketball moments already happening, not a separate lesson.
Progress is tracked by what a coach actually observes a child do — never by a label about who that child is.
Four levels, each building on the one before it. A child can point to exactly where they are.
Stationary dribbling, ball protection, receiving, jump stop.
Moving dribble, chest pass, bounce pass, pivoting.
Hopscotch Layup footwork, defensive stance and slide.
Full layup, shooting release, rebounding.
The current program is built for ages 7–9, run in small groups over an eight-week cycle, one session a week.
"What was your body's clue tonight?" — one of the questions parents get to ask on the ride home. No coaching from the sideline required.
