Any advice on coaching Pee-Wee Basketball?

I've decided to take on the challenge of helping coach a team on our church league. The kids are all between 5 and 7, and it will be the first time playing for some of them. I played as a kid, but I've never coached. I'll be the assistant coach, and I'm trying to find some ways to get the kids to learn dribbling and passing skills while keeping them focused. Our first practice is next week. What would be some good drills or practice techniques? Thanks in advance!

    YA the main thing is have fun! make the kids feel wanted, and for them to want to go to practice. In kids that age, they need, i mean Absolutely need to use their non dominate hand. This is the most important thing of the game. Then teach the fundamentals of the game.. Most kids forget them, or are never taught them

    Let the kids know first and foremost winning isn't everything, they are young and remember that. Maybe start with running and bouncing at the same time

    try some free throws and teach them the rules for the game, and HAVE FUN! Good Luck
