To 3th-8th Grade Bengal Youth Boys Basketball Players:

After each basketball season, we will be challenging players to join our 10,000 shot club.     To become a member of our 10,000 shot club, you will need to take and record 10,000 MADE basketball game shots during the time period of this program.    Recording your attempts and makes gives you the opportunity to see if you are improving your efficiency.

 When shooting:

• Write down long term goals- ex. Out of my 10,000 made shots, I will Make 500 FT’s, 40% from 3 point area, etc.
• Set a daily goal- ex. 50 Free Throws, 25 made 3’s, 25 Post moves, etc. and record them.
• Use the correct form when taking your shots -- 100 quality shots is better than 1000 sloppy shots!
  • Eye on Target
  • Stance and Balance- Square up
  • Shot pocket
  • Grip
  • Balance Hand
  • Delivery
  • High release
  • Follow through
• Shoot a variety of shots-  Always start closer to the basket where you are most comfortable and move out when ready!
• Go full (game) speed- maximize your shooting session.
• Enjoy the process!  The results will come.

Be Great everyday!
