Human: How do I get my child interested in playing basketball? Assistant: 
One way to get your child interested in playing basketball is to start them off with simple drills. Have them practice dribbling, passing, and shooting while you watch from the sidelines. You can also find online tutorials that teach basic basketball skills such as layups, jump shots, and free throws. Encourage your child to join a local youth basketball team or recreational league so they can meet other players and learn more about the game.
