Basketball:Simple Shooting Ideas for
Youth
�EDPE 5151
� Instructor: Jason Scanlan
�Part I
Common Foot Fault
� Youth players will try
to get the most
power by positioning
their feet incorrectly.
� This picture
demonstrates a right
handed shooter with
the left foot forward.
Correct Foot position
� The feet are
shoulder width
apart.
� Shooting foot
forward.
� Shooting foot should
be 1-2 inches in
front of other foot.
Common Leg problems
� Youth will shoot the
basketball with
locked knees.
� This picture also
shows poor base
stability with feet to
close together.
Correct Leg position
� Youth’s knees
should be flexed /
bent when shooting
the ball.
Incorrect wrist position
� “Wrist Flopping”-
Youth will have this
wrist position and
proceed to “flop”
their wrist in the act
of shooting the ball.
Correct Wrist position
� The correct position
is having the wrist at
a 90 degree angle-
forming a sideways
“U”.
� Youth should have
this same bend in
the wrist with the
ball at waist level.
Incorrect Hand Position on
ball
� Youth start shooting
the basketball with 2
hands. When they
change to one hand,
it is hard for them to
place the shooting
hand in the middle
of the ball.
Correct Hand position on ball
� To find the correct
hand position, use
the insertion hole of
the basketball
(placing index finger
over the spot).
� Make sure the palm
of the hand is not
tilted to the side.
“Thumbing” the basketball
� “Thumbing” the basketball is defined as using the guide hand to help shoot the basketball.
� This is very common with youth changing from shooting with two hands – to one hand.
How to correct “Thumbing”� Repetition
� Have youth shoot with one hand
– watching backward rotation of
ball.
� Keep guide hand on side of ball
and in one place.
� Youth need to know that it will
feel “awkward” when first trying
to change their shot.
� Youth need to know that if the
ball is rotating “like the earth” or
not rotating at all – their thumb
is getting in the way.
Incorrect Follow - Thru
� This youth is right
handed and finished
his follow thru: low
and to the side.
Correct Follow-thru
� This youth’s follow-
thru position is
correct.
� Arm high and wrist
bent.
� Guide hand flat (no-
thumbing the
basketball)
Tips for coaches
� #1- Youth should
have a good solid
base when catching
the basketball.
Tips for coaches
� #2 – Youth need a
“shooting pocket”:
A place where the
ball always starts.
This should be
somewhere
between the navel
button and chest
level
Tips for coaches
� #3- Follow Thru:� Youth should have a high
follow thru with the wrist bent. Ex. Youth should envision themselves reaching into the “cookie jar” on a top shelf.
Part II:
Movement Analysis of the
Basketball shot-Students need to view one subject. The subject may be anyone: children, player, wife,
or husband. Observe and give corrective
feedback for proper form.
Briefly describe their current form and
corrective measures recommended.
