Shooting Programs
The "Be a Shooter" Program
Yes, basketball is a skills sport. Just being a great athlete does not make someone a good basketball player. It is a sport that a player must master the skills required to become a good player.
Of all the skills requested by basketball coaches, shooting, is the number one they need and look to find. And of all the skills in basketball, shooting, is the most difficult to master.
Tall? A coach can find playing time for that player. Fast? A coach can find playing time for that player. Great Athlete? A coach can find playing time for that player.
If a player lacks the above mentioned attributes then shooting is the way to get noticed. If you can combine shooting with those attributes then coaches will be seeking that player.
Becoming a good shooter takes time, patience and proper shooting form. 10 or 12 sessions will not make a great shooter but it will give that player the basis and the understanding of what it takes to be a shooter.
A great golfer and great baseball hitter do not just step up and swing. They need many hours of practice and developing a perfect form.
That is what the “Be a Shooter” program is. Just throwing the ball at the rim hundreds of times a day will not do it.
A Player must know: proper weight distribution, pointing of right and left foot, knees, hips, shoulders, arms, on ball placement & off ball placement of hands, elbows, head, rotation, follow-thru, mental approach and more.
If it sounds like a lot, it is, but once a player learns these principles, practices them and uses them they will be a good or great shooter.
Don’t be confused with a player that takes a lot of shots with the player that makes a lot of shots. My son Joe tells players “Taking a lot of 3 point shots does not make a great 3 point shooter. Making a lot of 3 point shots does.”

"Just Shooting" Drop-In Program:
For years coaches and players have been fighting the battle of when can the players get time to practice their shooting. Practices are dedicated to coaches practicing offenses, defenses, press breaks, out of bound plays etc. There is never enough time for that let alone shooting practice. That is why I started “Just Shooting” many years ago. Players can get in hundreds of shots from different locations using many different drills. It is great for all level players. For High School players there is no competitive drills thus no injuries just as the program is called “Just Shooting”.
