If you are facing the ball as it is approaching you above waist height, form a triangle with your two hands, palms out, placing the tips of your thumbs on opposing hands together and the tips of your index fingers on opposing hands together

If the ball was thrown low and you will have to make the catch below waist height, your pinkies should go together, palms up, with your thumbs facing outward.

Reach your hands out towards the ball and catch it with your fingers away from your body. Be sure to use your fingers and not your palms. Keep your eye on the ball the entire time.

BASKETBALL

HOME

Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, with your shooting foot slightly ahead of your non-shooting foot.

If you're right-handed, your shooting foot is your right foot. If you're left-handed, then your shooting foot is your left foot.

Make sure your entire body is aligned jjjjjjjjjjjj at a square to the basket.

BALANCE

HOME

Cock your elbow back to a 90° angle and look at the back of your wrist. If you can see wrinkles, then you have your arm in the correct position.

Rest the ball on the pads of your fingers with the center of the ball on your index finger, then place your guide hand on the side of the ball and make sure that it doesn't slip underneath the it.

You will not be using that hand to help shoot the ball - it is there to make sure that the ball doesn't fall off of your hand before you shoot it and nothing more.

ELBOW

Choose a target - it could be the front of the rim, the center of the hoop, or the basket as a whole, and focus only on that. Don't watch the flight of the basketball, or your hand as you release the ball.

EYES

HOME

Straighten your elbow and release the ball by flicking your wrist, which gives the ball some backspin. You should look like you're reaching into a cookie jar that is on a shelf above your head.

Make sure your guide hand stays straight and doesn't help to push the ball.

To add distance to your shot, simply add a jump. Do not try to push the ball harder with your arms. All of your power should come from your legs.
