when should teen train for basketball

Teenagers first develop a love for basketball and cultivate their interest in it through games. At the age of 3-4, we can stimulate children’s interest in basketball by playing ball. At the age of 5-6, one can receive the most basic basketball training.
The NBA and American basketball have the world’s top basketball leagues and the most developed and mature basketball systems. In school training, there are many experiences that we can learn from. However, in 2016, the NBA Youth Basketball Guidelines strongly recommended delaying the professionalization of youth basketball until the age of 14. The article clearly points out that so far, there is a lack of healthy and consistent competition standard guidelines for youth basketball. Although this does not mean reducing or even canceling youth basketball games, it also clearly indicates that the early professionalization and industrialization of youth basketball is not a necessary condition for the output of elite players, and may even have adverse effects. So parents should also be aware that letting their children “practice basketball” too early is not a good choice for their long-term development, and emphasizing competition and success too early is a major problem in youth sports.

 

 

To this end, NBA Youth Basketball Guidelines have customized professional training, rest, and game time for players aged 4-14, ensuring their health, positivity, and enjoyment while allowing them to enjoy the fun of basketball and increase their competition experience. NBA and American basketball are committed to shaping the youth basketball environment, prioritizing the health and happiness of young athletes over enjoying the competition and development of the game.
In addition, the well-known news channel Foxnews has also published a series of articles on the content of Guidelines, including “Injuries and Fatigue Caused by Overspecialization and Overtraining in Children’s Sports,” “More and More Teenage Baseball Players Undergo Elbow Surgery,” and “Emergency Pediatric Sports Injuries on the Rise.” Multiple articles have discussed phenomena such as “high-density competition,” prompting grassroots coaches to re-examine training courses and competition arrangements.
So, at what age is it appropriate to start learning basketball? The answer given by JrNBA is 4-6 years old. Therefore, the Tiancheng Shuanglong Youth Sports Development Alliance has drawn on excellent foreign experience and combined it with the actual situation of basketball in China to create the only advanced teaching system in China. It is the first to divide youth basketball teaching into four advanced modes, integrate advanced experience with local details, and cultivate interest in “learning basketball” as the first stage, and “practicing basketball” in competitive competitions as the second stage. It has further refined and divided it into four advanced modes, thus creating the most suitable basketball teaching system for Chinese children.

Unlike other domestic early childhood basketball education institutions, “Dynamic Basketball” fully integrates music, basketball, and fitness exercises for children under 6 years old. Through actions such as tapping, dribbling, passing, and throwing the ball, it cultivates children’s ball skills while also exercising their sense of rhythm and physical coordination. Through this fun mode, it cultivates basketball interest and basic basketball skills for preschool children, achieving the goal of “learning basketball” and avoiding children losing interest due to boring “basketball practice” and utilitarian competition at an early age.
When children grow up to 6-8 years old, the transition to “playing basketball” becomes particularly important. How to help children transition from interests and hobbies to systematic and targeted training is the focus of this part. From a physiological age perspective, this age group is also an important period for children from infancy to adolescence. Training in sports and basketball is not only about stabilizing and strengthening their skills, but also a key training for their psychological growth.
Children over the age of 9 are already considered to have entered the youth training stage, and it is this age group that truly begins to ‘practice basketball’. Like campus basketball in the United States, “Shiyao Youth Training” has created a local Chinese primary and secondary school campus basketball through co building schools, and has drawn on the excellent team structure of the Spanish youth training system. As one of the strongest basketball teams in the world, apart from the United States, Spain’s developed club youth training system is the key to their success. The Spanish youth training almost includes all outstanding talents aged 12-22 in Spain, who are trained and promoted step by step. The method with a strong football youth training imprint has provided generations of excellent players for bullfighters.

The impact on the intelligence of adolescents

During adolescence, children are at the peak of their growth and development, and their intelligence also enters the mature stage of development at this time. Basketball has a certain beneficial impact on the intellectual development of teenagers. When playing basketball, children are in a highly active stage of thinking, and being constantly changing, fast, and highly unstable on the basketball court can stimulate their ability to adapt on the spot.
Motor skills are mainly achieved through the coordination of the nervous system and skeletal muscle tissue. Memory, thinking, perception, and imagination are not only manifestations of the nervous system, but also ways of developing intelligence. As teenagers engage in basketball, with the continuous strengthening and proficiency of their skills, their thinking will also become more developed and agile.
Some parents may believe that basketball can affect their children’s grades, but this is a one-sided idea. As long as it can help children understand the balance between work and rest, it can actually better promote their intellectual development and improve their focus.

The physical impact on teenagers

Basketball requires high physical fitness from athletes. Adolescence is the stage of children’s skeletal development, and practicing flexibility and elasticity in basketball can greatly help children grow their bodies. Basketball can also exercise children’s endurance and explosive power.
Some children may experience fatigue, lower back pain, and a series of physical problems after studying for a long time. Engaging in appropriate basketball activities has a beneficial and harmless impact on the health of teenagers.

The impact on the personality of teenagers

Basketball is a competitive sport. In basketball games, children will face competition, success or failure, which can help them develop strong personality traits, firm will, and fearlessness of difficulties.
At the same time, basketball is also a sport that requires teamwork. Children can cultivate a sense of collective honor, learn unity, and emphasize cohesion. It can be seen that basketball has a significant impact on the personality of teenagers.
