Five Basketball Pointers
1. Follow Through
Make sure that when you shoot you follow through and hold
your hands up in the air pointing toward the basket. You'll be
surprised how much more accurate your shot will be.

2. Perfect the Bounce Pass
Teams with great passers win games. They put their best
shooters in position to shoot. The bounce pass is a great
way to whiz the ball past a defender and into the hands
of your teammate.

3. Give and Go
After you make your wonderful pass, cut to the basket.
This move gives your teammate the option of shooting or passing
the ball to you for an open layup if your defender sags off of you.

4. Set Some Great Picks
Help your teammate out by planting yourself so you
screen off his or her defender. Learn to see where the
defender will be in a few seconds and put yourself in
his or her path. Let the defender run into you, don't
slam into him or her.

5. Be a Leader
Have a strong presence on the court, but don't hog
the ball. Lead your team to a victory with encouragement
and confidence. Talk it up on the court. Call out picks.
Give high fives to your teammates after they make a good play.
If you have good team chemistry, you are going to win games!
