The Pros And Cons Of Yucca Valley Youth Basketball

851 Words4 Pages

Growing up, I have had the opportunity to experience what life is like in a town where playing sports is the main form of entertainment and excitement. Due to sports being such a major asset of this small-scale town, shouldn’t it be organized and well put-together? Throughout my life, I have endured all of the pros and cons of each and every one of Yucca Valley sports, whether I happen to be playing, refereeing, or just watching. Within my own experiences, there were numerous flaws throughout the structure of the Yucca Valley youth basketball program. However, just because these complications exist, doesn’t mean they are unable to be amended in a way that can benefit the outcome of success that the youth basketball program is trying to achieve. …show more content…

Based on my own experience, the referees usually have no prior involvement with officiating young children in the realm of development and learning. Due to the fact that the referees have minimal experience, the room for kids to understand their mistakes is slim, being that the refs aren’t teaching them the correct way to play. When people volunteer to referee youth basketball, they don’t take into account the expertise that needs to come with it, not just in the game itself, but the officiating side of it. The referees don’t receive enough training beforehand which can be noticed throughout the program through the lack of acceptable calls. When I started refereeing for this year's youth basketball, I received an unexpected text message asking if I’d be willing to help referee games, and the next day I was on the court officiating. Luckily, I know the game well enough considering I have been playing it my whole life, but without that I would have been clueless out there on the court. However, this can lead to unsafe situations where terrible calls can lead to kids getting hurt due to excessive roughness between the

    That is no one’s fault, yet there are several cases dealing with personal injuries because a kid was “too small” or “not coordinated enough”. Those are problems that should be addressed with the parents before letting their child play a contact sport. Overall, apart from just these case analysis’, I learned to CYO. Had these coaches, coached and trained as a reasonable person should there would be no cases to analyze. They should have covered their asses by not physically touching the players or put players into a game they shouldn’t have.

    The coach may be trying to make the child strong but the rules are made for the adults to practice because they are already physically strong. The growing bodies have a negative effect of it. I agree with Statsky that may children back out because of the stress and the constant degrading. When I used to take part in any sports I had to face the same problem. I was physically weak so my coach used to mock me in front of other players.

    All of which are methods used by referees and rule makers. The governing body of the sport is known as USA Lacrosse, and every year, seasoned officials, collegiate coaches, and USL staff come together to analyze trends from the past season and see if they can improve the game. Based on injury, scoring, and fouling statistics and personal in-game experience from refs, coaches, and players, rules are maintained and updated for all ages. With these statistics contributing as current research, officials acting as the clinicians, and players and coaches contributing their “patient” perspective, evidence-based practice is a necessity to the sport. Referees, including myself, need to embrace EBP to formulate and execute new rules to keep players safe and able to enjoy their sport.
