Form Begets Function

This is a VERY basic video...but I think it illustrates what parents and players can look for:

• Good form begets good function
• Motor muscle memory (the ability to reproduce the motion)
• Proper foot position (not emphasized as much here...in a prior video the instructor noted feet are usually about six feet apart
• The ELBOW is IN
• follow-through

I prefer to stand behind the player when they shoot to watch the global form. Young players tend to lower the ball to generate power, which SHOULD come from the legs. Bringing the ball down slows the shooting down, gives the defenders more time to close out the shooter, AND makes a "bigger" shot. The more compact the motion (I'll call it the swing) the more reproducible.
