High School Basketball: “Jumping Rope is for Girls”

Youthbasketball123 is a website designed to provide ideas, drills by grade, books, teaching tools, basketball jokes, guest blogs, basketball quotes, and so much.

““It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.””

I worked a local high school youth basketball camp and saw a great interaction between a coach and underclassman. This player was a forward who was probably as slow as any high school player could be. He was a rising sophomore. The coach asked the player, “Do you ever jump rope?” His reply “Jumping rope is for girls.” You could see the look in the coach’s eyes.

“For girl athletes?” The coach was in utter disbelief.

“You think jumping rope is for girls. Are you kidding me?…

Jumping is for world-class boxers, Muhammad Ali, basketball players, wrestlers, and anyone elsewho considers themselves an athlete.”

As a freshman, this player had no idea what it would take to be a great high school basketball player. The player was called up in front of the camp, He was given a jump rope and was timed for a minute. He scored an impressive 43. (A good high school athlete can complete 175 – 190 repetitions in a minute with hard work.)

The coach challenged the young player to commit to jumping rope, telling him he would be a much better player.

The player committed himself to improving his quickness by jumping rope regularly. With hard work, he started his first varsity game as a sophomore. He replaced a player who did not start because of receiving a technical foul.* He played a tremendous game and ended up starting every game for the remainder of his HIGH SCHOOL career.

This player understood the importance of improving each day. I attended the same camp when the player was entering his senior year. The coach would never let the player forget the comment, “Jumping rope is for girls.”

The head coach jumped roped regularly as a high school and college athlete. He challenged the player to try to beat him. (The coach always held on to the Champion’s Rule that if the player ever defeated the coach, the coach had the right to a rematch.)

Throughout his entire career, he continued to improve. He improved so much that he MIGHT be able to beat the head coach. He got so good he was in striking distance. He improved his score to 175 repetitions.

Get a jump rope and time yourself. See how many reps you can get and you will understand how hard it is to reach 175.

Improving from 43 reps to 175 took a great deal of hard work and dedication!

This player worked his tail off to became a complete basketball player. He was 6’4 and could complete 19-20 Mikans regularly in 30 seconds. He also was able to dribble 2 balls going full speed. Lastly, he was a 3-point threat. He scored several 3-pointers during his career because he completed the 1 and 2 hand form shooting almost daily.

This player had a great high school career. His teams did well because he was a triple Impact player. You will be hearing more about this over the next few blogs. His example of  individual improvement is illustrates the first part of being a “Triple Threat Competitor” “Making Myself Better.” (Taken from Elevating Your Game by Jim Thompson of the Positive Coaching Alliance.)

That is every athlete’s goal this off-season – to make yourself better.

Be quicker – Take 10 minutes to jump rope several times a week. Do 3 – 5 sets of 1 minute. Record your score. Jump rope until you can improve on your score from the previous day. Being quicker will help you in any sport you play.

Jumping Rope is for girls……. and great athletes regardless of gender!

PS The former high school basketball player became a captain, 3 year-starter, 2 year league all-star, and local All-Scholastic.

  1. Author: Dave Hopla (@DaveHopla) Coach Hopla consistently makes over 98% of his shots. in our humble opinion he is the World’s Best Shooting Instructor. His instruction has been perfected after decades of studying the art of shooting. His book is amazingly detailed and breaks down the correct form of shooting mechanics. His BEEF technique will make any player a better shooter and will help coaches create better shooters. His shooting tips are easy to understand and remember.

  2. DVD: The book includes and incredible DVD that explains the concepts in the book. It shows the drills so players and coaches can have a complete understanding of how to shoot the basketball correctly. The DVD is and awesome compliment to the details in the book.
  3. Drills, Drills, Drills: The drills in the book are fantastic shooting drills for rookie and veteran players. Drills are explained clearly. The logic behind the drill is also shared, so coaches and players not only understand the “HOW” but alos the “WHY.” Players who apply these drills will see immediate results and will be on the way to becoming a better shooter.
  4. Pictures: The pictures do a great job of presenting a visual that might answer questions. There are plenty of pictures that all are very helpful. Coach Hopla stresses the “Footwork is the Foundation.” There are great pictures that show the proper stance for shooting the basketball. There also are images that show incorrect stances. Later on pictures are used to show correct and incorrect elbow positioning.
  5. Decades of Shooting Instruction in One Book: I do not think there is a person in the world who thinks more about shooting a basketball than Dave Hopla. He has instructed youth players just picking up a basketball to some of the best players the world has ever seen in the NBA. He knows about the KISS teaching philosophy and about the proper learning progression.

11 Player Youth Basketball Substitution Rotation

Youthbasketball123 is a website designed to provide ideas, drills, books, teaching tools, guest blogs and so much more for basketball coaches, players, and parents.

Google Search “11 Player Youth Basketball Substitution Rotation”


An 11 man rotation for youth basketball is a big challenge. As a youth coach it is always good to follow a substitution pattern that guarantees playing time for each player. Some leagues have minimum playing time requirements. This rotation is based on a league policy that requires a 25% minimum playing time for each player (8:00 out of 32:00).

Rank Each Player: It is helpful to rank each player: above average, average, and below average.Players will be given playing time that corresponds to their rank on the team.

Option #1 Number System / Equal Playing Time: A coach can assign a number system for his team 1 – 11. This makes substitutions really simple. Select the “shift” time and simply have the players sit on the bench by number. Players will rotate in the game. A coach should try to balance height and skill to have balance with each unit. (possible set up)

32 minute game: to keep it simple a coach can divide the quarter in half. The following is based on four 8-minute quarters.

1st Quarter:

Shift #1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Shift #2: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 

2nd Quarter:

Shift #3: 11, 1, 2, 3, 4

Shift #4: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

3rd quarter:

Shift #5: 10, 11, 1, 2, 3

Shift #6: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

4th Quarter

Shift #7:  9, 10, 11, 1, 2,

Shift #8:  3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Playing Time Breakdown

1 – 7 = 16:00 (50%)

8, 9, 10, 11 = 12:00 (37.5%)

Variation #1 Mix the number up: Create a new list each week. A coach can rotate the players in 1 – 7 so no one player is #1. Similarly rotate 8 – 11 so that no player is last all the time.

Variation #2 Pick up where you left off: If a coach is a believer in equal playing time, simply start the next game with the next rotation. This will be the fairest. It will keep most parents happy. And it will allow all players to develop. At the younger ages this is probably the best option (recommendation). 

Game #2 Shift #1: 8, 9, 10, 11, 1 

Variation #3: Use the number system for the 1st 3 quarters, then play the best players. Through 3 quarters the playing time would be the following: 

1 – 8 3 shifts = 12:00 (27.5)

9 – 11 2 shifts = 8:00 (25% if no additional time)

There will 40 minutes of playing time for the 4th quarter (8 minutes X 5 sports) #9 will have not played in 3rd quarter, so it would make sense to find him some time in the 4th or give him a little time in the 3rd.

Option #2 Even Units plus one (4-4-3}: Divide the top 8 players into two even groups based on height and position. Try to create as much balance as possible. With the bottom 3 players, have them rotate the 5th spot on the floor. A coach can switch the 3 rotating players each game to guarantee even playing time for all players if this fit his / her philosophy.

Unit #1 (1-4)

Unit #2 (4-8)

Players 9 – 11 will have 2:40 shifts x 4 quarters = 10 minutes per game

Player #9 8:00 – 5:20

Player #10 5:20 – 2:40

Player #11 2:40 – 0:00

Playing Time Breakdown

1 – 8 = 16:00 (50%)

9, 10, 11 = 10:00 (31.25%)
