The elbow on the shooting arm must be close to the body and lined up with the target, If your arms moves or isn't lined up your shot could be off. The non shooting hand is placed on the side of the ball its really just to balance the ball. So make sure it's out of the way of the flight of the ball.…
The reason why I wanted to take a deeper biomechanical look into a jump shot and why I find it interesting is my love for basketball. From elementary and till now basketball has been a passion of mine. When I was first learning how to shoot, everyone that tried to teach me stressed that the form is very important. Now that I'm older I find myself curious as to exactly how I can improve the accuracy of my jump shot. Michael Jordan stated "You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting…

We worked on making her arm a perfect "L" shape when shooting. I also taught her to use her left hand as a guide hand to prevent from shootings one handed. I was once told in order to have the perfect shot you should follow the rules of "BEEF". These rules are known as balance, elbow, eyes, and follow through. My sister understood these rules and her form got dramatically better.…

The history of free-throw; James Naismith created by a game that was non-violent. He wrote 13 rules of his game and labeled it basketball while he prepared teaching a gym class at the YMCA in Springfield, Mass in 1891. However, understanding that free throw was not called in the original 13 rules, but it was almost the same as rule number 7, that stated “if either side makes consecutive fouls it shall count a goal for the opponents.” Today, we know it as free-throw was put into place for more than 115 years ago.…
Shooting Drills Shooting drills are also included during basketball damps. An example of a shooting drill is letting kids line up in the free throw lane area. Kids will get to shoot one at a time. However, if they miss to shoot a free throw, they will receive one point and get another one for each consecutive free throw shot ahead of them.

The off hand thumb should be in line with the middle of your nose and should end level with the middle of your forehead, remember elbow position. Bring your arm up and forward so it is about 45 degrees from your body, and let your elbow become straight as you release the ball toward the rim off of your finger tips. Rise up onto your tiptoes letting go with your off hand shortly before releasing the ball so you are not shooting with two hands. Your hand should not move to the left or right because this will put the wrong spin on the ball and alter the path of the ball. Finally, snap your wrist down so that your knuckles point to the ceiling and your pointer and middle finger are pointed to the ground.…
Within this paper, I recall and expand on my experience at the recreation center, where I observed the individuals who came to play basketball. The observations are primarily of the interactions occurring at the basketball court, but I touch on the weather and reasons for walking to the location as well. As an extremely antisocial person, it took me awhile to finally go, but I was willing to give it a shot. It was a saturday with fair skys and a nice breeze. I decided to walk to the recreation center, as it was a glorious day and not to far away.…
