Posture Shooting

Once correct technical posture is taught and mastered, a coach can begin with shooting technique. On average, passing and shooting should take up approximately 30% of the daily workout (can fluctuate depending on current preparation cycle).

Shooting fundamentals are TAUGHT- be sure to work on the following skills:

During vertical shooting - arm speed, release points (1-2-3-4-5), leg position, rotation of hips, position of both support leg and drive leg and timing
Movement posture will also require the players to use spider legs, so review the movement with cross face from behind
During horizontal shooting - elbow position reversed, driving leg , “L” leg trust, opposite hand, cervical swimming
In preparation for horizontal changes a high knee kick must be employed - add defense and ‘applying pressure from behind’ to drills
