Basketball Drills: B.E.E.F. - The Proper Way to Shoot a Basketball

# data[].attributes.body
Show students proper hand positioning: shooting hand behind the ball, guide hand on the side. Practice the 'cookie jar' motion for follow-through without a ball first.

# data[].attributes.body
Students work in pairs to practice shooting form without basketballs. One student demonstrates while their partner mirrors the movement, focusing on proper stance and arm motion.

# data[].attributes.body
Students practice shooting motion against a wall to develop muscle memory. Focus on arc and rotation of the ball. This allows for individual correction and feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
Set up stations at varying distances from the basket (3 feet, 6 feet, free throw line). Students rotate through stations, applying proper technique at each distance.

# data[].attributes.body
For students struggling with technique, provide a visual checklist they can use to self-assess their form. Include pictures for each step of the shooting motion.

Students demonstrate proper shooting technique in a one-on-one assessment with the teacher. Graded on form rather than accuracy to emphasize technique development.

# data[].attributes.body
Gather students in a circle to discuss what they learned about proper shooting technique. Have students share one thing they discovered about their own shooting form.

# data[].attributes.body
Students answer: 1) What does B.E.E.F. stand for? 2) Which part of shooting technique do you need to practice most? 3) How will proper form help you become a better shooter?

# data[].attributes.body
Each student sets one specific goal for improving their shooting technique to work on before the next class. Goals should be specific and measurable.

# data[].attributes.body
Practice shooting form at home for 10 minutes using a tennis ball or soft ball against a wall, focusing on proper hand placement and follow-through motion.

# data[].attributes.body
Watch a professional basketball player's shooting technique video and identify the B.E.E.F. components in their form. Write down three observations.

# data[].attributes.body
