Find your basketball trainer in Burnaby

Basketball rests on seven foundational skills that unlock the rest of the game.

• Dribbling: moving the ball with one hand while staying balanced and aware of the court.
• Passing and receiving: choosing the right pass, chest, bounce or overhead, for each situation.
• Shooting and layups: using proper form, follow-through and footwork to score.
• Defence and rebounding: staying low, tracking the ball and boxing out for position.

Working with a coach helps you fix technique early, before habits become hard to change.

A private basketball lesson in Burnaby costs approximately $25/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your skill level and training goals
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The package you choose (one-off or regular)
• The lesson format (individual, small group, on-court, at home)

Most coaches offer a free trial lesson so you can test their approach.

Long before dribbling existed, Naismith's rule 1 set the tone for how basketball would be played.

• According to rule 1, the ball could be sent in any direction using one hand or both.
• Without dribbling as an option, this rule made passing the core of the early game.
• This rule kept the game fast and team-focused, since no one could run with the ball.
• Today's dribbling and travelling rules trace their roots back to this first rule.

Understanding the game's history helps young players see why certain rules exist today.
