MEET THE TRAINERS
SHOOTING TECHNIQUE
Good basketball shooting technique doesn't develop overnight. It takes years to complete the number of repetitions required to embed the proper shot mechanics into the body's muscle memory. It also takes feedback.
Feedback lets you know what you're doing right, so you can repeat it. And it lets you know what you're doing wrong, so you can correct it. Each shot players take is a learning opportunity. Every shot provides feedback. Was the shot long? Short? Flat? Pushed to the left or right? Was it blocked? Did it swish through the bottom of the net? All of these outcomes provide feedback. Learning how the shot feels as it rolls off the hand and observing the outcome each time helps players learn what feels right and what needs to be corrected.
BALL HANDLING
Ball-handling and dribbling are of paramount importance. These two skills allow the basketball to be advanced legally throughout the court of play.
At the Introductory Level, ball- handling and dribbling take on the most basic form, allowing players to become familiar with the basketball. At more advanced levels, our elite players will refine technique with more complex drills.
EXAMPLE: Introduction Basketball Familiarization
In this skill, the young player will become acquainted with the basketball by moving it from hand to hand, controlling it through all movements.
It is important to ensure that the player is confident handling the basketball while remaining stationary.
Once players become consistent with this movement, they can begin to move the basketball with greater speed from hand to hand.
