Coach Drawing Up a Play Coloring Page

A coach crouches down on the gym floor to get level with two young players, holding a clipboard out where both of them can see it, and the play drawn on it is a loop of arrows with no text. That blank board is deliberate and useful, since a child can fill in their own play. Both players stand listening in sleeveless jerseys and shorts, one slightly shorter than the other, and a ball rests on the floor in the foreground. Behind them the gym opens up: wooden floorboards running in long strips, a backboard and hoop mounted high on the wall, and a row of wall bars along the left. This is one of the busiest sheets in the basketball group and it rewards planning. Give both players matching kit so they read as teammates, put the coach in a different color entirely, and keep the floor light so the three figures stay the focus of the page.
