closeBasketball Shooting: Shooting Basics
This video breaks down the essentials of basketball shooting from different angles. A youth basketball coach explains how a player can position the ball in his hands and work on developing a consistent shooting technique.
Basketball Shooting: Release and Follow-Through

Basketball Shooting: Basic Shooting Drill
