Free throws are an excellent skill to practice in your spare time. This seemingly simple shot can be difficult to execute under game conditions. Practice frequently using these techniques. Put your weaker hand in front of the ball and center your stronger hand over the air valve in the basketball. Concentrate on the basket and visualize the basketball going in. Then try shooting the ball along the trajectory that was in your mind.
When dribbling, make sure that you look forward and keep your head up. If you have to look at the ball while dribbling, that means you need to practice more. Take you ball with you everywhere. Dribble the ball as you go about your day doing errands like walking the dog. Remember, if you are directly staring at the ball, there's no way for you to see what's happening on the court.
Pay attention to what you are good at. Your strengths might not make you a star player, but you'll be contributing a lot to your team. Knowing what you excel at and then practicing that can help you become perfect at it!
Be sure to get lots of practice on layups. You should expect layups to represent about 80% of all the shots you take in a game. When you practice, be sure to run at the goal with full speed, jumping and shooting in a smooth series of motions. Practicing the running and jumping method will help you shoot better this way in a game.
Bounce passes are extremely efficient when done properly. This means your pass should be aimed towards the receiving player at the level of his waist. One good rule is for you to bounce the basketball most of the way toward the other player. But, a series of other considerations can require you to make adjustments.
Do not restrict your practices to zone defenses alone. Most of the game is played in zone, but your opponent may try to switch things up to do man-to-man coverage. If you haven't prepared yourself for that, you might lose your game very quickly.
Hand signals will help you avoid those errant passes. It's frustrating to pass to your teammate at the very moment they're heading toward the basket. Avoid this using hand signals to see if they can get the pass. If you don't see a signal, you shouldn't pass the ball.
The key for controlling the ball well is to spread your fingers. This makes sure that it does not escape away from your grip. Also, keep your palm off the ball. Don't let anything but your fingers touch the ball during passing or shooting.
Maybe you didn't know that much about the details of the sport despite having a strong love for the game. However, with the tips above, you can now step out on the court with more confidence. Use this advice the next time you're playing a game of basketball.
