Learn to shoot

Shooting can be difficult for most people but it doesn't have to be the most important part of basketball.

Things you will need:

• Basketball
• Partner

1.Learn to shoot:

1. Half-bent your knees before shooting a basketball for more potential power
2. Your dominant hand should have its fingers spread out
3. Only the fingertips should be gripping onto the ball
4. Your other hand should support the ball on the side
5. The ball should be brought above the head in one motion
6. At this point, the angles at your armpit, elbow, and wrist is  at 90 degrees
7. While extending your knees, extend your forearm and snap your wrist
8. Make sure you follow through with your wrist movement.   If it feels natural to jump upon release, do so.

2. Our first drill will be fairly easy just stand where you do a layup but instead of doing a layup just shoot no need to jump. Practice on your flicking motion so you get that backspin.


3. Free throws. Free throws is almost the most important factor of shooting because if you do a layup and get fouled you will be able to get 2 free points. Do about 25 made free throws in a row before moving to the next step.


4. Quick release. Grab your partner and have him pass you the ball. Ounce you catch the ball immediately shoot the ball.


5. 3 pointers. Go to the 3 point line and shoot around so you can get a feel on how much power you need. Bending your legs will help a lot. Make 15 but you dont have to make them in a row.
