Purpose: Develop proper shooting mechanics for improved accuracy and consistency.
Practice Routine
1. Warm-Up (5 minutes)
► Light jogging or dynamic stretches to loosen up your arms, shoulders, and legs.
2. Shooting Stance (2 minutes)
► Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
► Position your shooting foot slightly forward.
► Bend your knees slightly for balance.
3. Hand Placement (3 minutes)
► Hold the ball with your shooting hand under it and your non-shooting hand on the side for support.
► Practice the grip: Your shooting hand should form a “C” shape, and the ball should rest on your fingertips.
4. Shooting Motion (5 minutes)
► Set Position: Start with the ball at your waist.
► Elbow Alignment: Raise the ball to your shooting pocket (around chest level), ensuring your elbow is directly under the ball.
► Follow Through: Extend your arm upward and release the ball smoothly while snapping your wrist. Your fingers should point toward the basket.
5. Form Shooting (10 minutes)
► Stand close to the basket (about 5-7 feet away).
► Take 10 shots focusing solely on your form—emphasize follow-through and balance.
► Gradually move back to 10-15 feet while maintaining proper form. Take 10 shots from each distance.
6. Shooting Drills (5 minutes)
► Spot Shooting: Choose 3-5 spots around the key. Take 2 shots from each spot, focusing on your shooting form.
► Free Throws: Practice 5-10 free throws, concentrating on consistent form.
7. Cool Down (2 minutes)
► Light stretches for arms and legs to relax muscles.
Tips for Effective Practice
• Focus on Rhythm: Maintain a smooth shooting motion from start to finish.
• Keep Your Eyes on the Target: Aim for the back of the rim or the center of the hoop.
• Practice Consistently: Repetition is key to building muscle memory.
