My 8-year-old son has just taken up basketball, and I want to teach him the right way to shoot the basketball. What are the keys to having a good shot?

Just like Coach Thom covers in our segments on shooting, we want to make sure the player knows it is a one-handed shot, form an “L” with his shooting arm, put the ball on your finger pads and reach up and follow through, all while maintaining a good base with his feet. Just watch our segments and you will see all the building blocks of a good shot.
