ADVICE

Youth Basketball Shooting

Don't overcoach shooting form with very young players. Let them explore and develop their natural shooting motion.
Focus on basic principles like avoiding travels (stopping or jump-stopping before shooting) and generating power from the legs.
Use age-appropriate equipment (size 5 ball and lowered hoops of 7-8 feet for this age group).
Only offer minimal guidance on form if a child is using a completely ineffective technique (e.g., underhand scooping or baseball throwing). In such cases, gently suggest they generate power from in front or underneath, bend their knees, and jump.
