Find your basketball trainer in Coquitlam

The fundamentals of basketball come down to seven essential skills.

• Ball handling: keeping control of the ball at different speeds and directions.
• Passing and receiving: choosing the right pass, chest, bounce or overhead, for each situation.
• Layups: finishing close to the basket and scoring from mid-range.
• Footwork, pivoting and defence: positioning the body to move, protect the ball and stop opponents.

A private tutor breaks down each skill step by step and speeds up your progress.

A private basketball lesson in Coquitlam costs approximately $20/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your skill level and training goals
• The instructor's credentials and track record
• The duration and frequency of lessons
• The lesson format (individual, small group, on-court, at home)

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

Rule 1 comes from the very first basketball rulebook, written in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith.

• The first rule allowed players to throw the ball in any direction, with one or both hands.
• Without dribbling as an option, this rule made passing the core of the early game.
• The rule pushed players to move and support each other instead of holding onto the ball.
• Modern rules like travelling and dribbling grew directly out of this original idea.

A tutor can explain how these original rules shaped the modern game, not just how to play it.
