At what age/skill level can a committed parent no longer train their own kids?
I have three kids who are all super into basketball (aged 9, 7, and 6). I have to pull them away to play other sports in the offseason otherwise they'd want to play year-round (and still do in our driveway with neighborhood kids).
Up to this point, I've always just trained them in our driveway. I'll look up training drills online and have purchased a few books/online training apps that have dribbling, shooting, and fundamentals programs. Focus is on keeping it fun and spending time together as a family.
Recently, there was a former WNBA player who was offering private training in our area. I hired her for weekly sessions and found that she was basically doing the same stuff that we were already doing. Basic dribbling, shooting, passing, defensive drills that we've all seen on IG/YouTube.
It's been a month and I'm thinking about stopping the lessons. Obviously this WNBA player is MUCH better than me at basketball. But I'm thinking that the kids aren't at an age where they can take advantage of this resource? Maybe they can get more out of it when they're jr high/HS age?
For context, I played HS basketball at a small state school and went pro in a different sport (not one of the super popular ones). I love getting to pass on some of that knowledge to my kids and am willing to hire a trainer if it helps them and if they continue to love a sport. Just not sure when the right time is to actually spend that money.
