Our Philosophy

An easy way to teach shooting is to remember the word BEEF.

B- Balance; make sure the shooter has his/her feet flat on the floor shoulder length apart with knees bent. Just like a boxer would have in the ring.

E- Elbow under the ball. The shooting arm (usually the dominant hand) looks like a V with the ball balanced in the palm of their hand resting on the fingertips. The off hand goes on the side of the ball to help balance the ball.

E-- Eyes on the target. Many shooters make the mistake of watching the ball after they shoot. The eyes should stay on the target. The target is the front or the back of the rim (what ever works best for the shooter.)

F- Follow through on the shot. This week, we taught the shooter to put their hand in the basket. Wave at the basket and the ball will have good backspin.

The only way to be a great shooter, is to shoot, shoot, shoot…with BEEF
