Shooting 101

Beginner

Its is allways easier and better to shoot with a partner. so before you start to begin practice go out and grab a friend, your dad, or just anyone who will help you rebound.

To start, first you have to warm up your shot. Alot of players just go out there and start shooting from everywhere on the court with out working on thier form.

To do this start right in front of the rim and make 10. I know it sounds easy but this really helps to keep your form right so when you move out farther your form will stay the same. After you make 10 in the from make 10 from the sides. after that move a step back and do the same thing.

Now you are ready to pick it up a little. Now you are going to work on your 15 ft. jump shoot. Start in the corner about 15 ft. away from the basket and make 10. Do this for 7 spots on the court, make sure to make 10 from every spot. After this move out to a farther spot. i like to move back to a three point shot but if your not ready for that just take a step back.
