Tip of the Day

Shooting Tip:
When you are shooting there is one simple thing to remember BEEF.

Balance: Make sure your feet are about shoulder with the part, this allows you to have good balance opposed to if your feet were too far apart or too close together.

Eyes: Keep your eyes on the rim. If you keep your eyes on the rim it will give you a good target when shooting the ball. Most likely if you don't look at the rim it will hit the front of the rim and bounce back. You want it to arch over the rim and into the net.

Elbow: You want you elbow to be at about a 90 degree angle. A lot of players don't do this which can affect your shot. The most common things coaches catch is the "Chicken Wing". This is when you have your elbow pointed outwards instead of tucked in at 9 degrees.

Follow-through: After you release the ball you want to have a nice follow-through. There are multiple references you could use such as "Reach your hand into the cookie drawer" or "Make it look like a goose head". This references allow you to remember to keep your hand pointed down and straight, instead of to the side which will affect the direction of the ball.
