Basketball Skills: Shooting Fundamentals - The fundamentals of shooting the basketball are covered here. The stance, shoulder and elbow position, and how to hold the basketball on your shooting hand with the wrist cocked are covered in a simple teaching progression. Great for youth league coaches, parents, and players.
Basketball Skills: Shooting Styles - Athletes aren't all the same. Some are left-handed, some right. Some are taller with longer arms. Others may have a wider stance or a straighter back. The important thing is for athletes to learn correct shooting skills, and then to develop a comfortable style that will allow for a good shot. In this video, Coach walks through shooting with players of various styles.
