Teaching young kids Basketball

@Anon, you appear to be on the right tack, make it fun first, last and always.

You have a 6 year old and from memory this is the age where they begin to catch and dribble, shooting still a bit of a challeng but encouragement on a very low ring is the key.

The 4 year old is obviously going to take a couple of year, but throwing and bouncing a ball, assisting him/her to put it through a hoop is all good fun stuff...

No need to go crazy, ease them into it with rubber, bouncy balls and if you have access to a pool try the old 'pool hoops', great fun and nothing like picking your kid up and throwing it down with them while you are both in the water, they love it, very cool...
