Shooting teaching points:

Lay-ups:

- Concentrate on target on backboard (Orange Box)

- Extend shooting arm toward target

- Inside shoulder drives towards basket

- Do not pull away from basket

- Jump off foot opposite the shooting hand

- Drive same leg as shooting hand up toward basket

Jump shot:

- Shooting side foot slightly in front of other foot for best balance

- Feet and body should be square with target

- Knees should be bent; flex legs for power and rhythm

- Eyes should be on target and not follow shot

- Ball should be held on fingers, palm off ball

- Shooting hand should be underneath ball

- Non-shooting hand must be on side of ball

- Follow through (arm looks like a swan)

Free throws:

- Get in position that is most comfortable

- Do the same thing every time

- Relax

- Bend knees, same form as jump shot
