Free Throws

The Free Throw is very important to winning games and in the future; Championships.  When you set up for a free throw, you will se a straight line or a nail in the center of the free throw line.  That is where you should set up your right foot for right handers or left foot for left handers.  Before you shoot you have to bend your knees.  Your legs are where your strength comes from.  After you bend your knees, stay in the position you are with your knees bent for balance.  For the perspective of where you should be looking at, you should be looking at the front of the rim.  Looking at anything beyond  the front of the rim, the shot will likely be strong.  finally raise your arms while keeping your balance, push your legs up and flick your elbow.


Balance and eyes are a key to making your free throws.


Elbow is still straight, eyes focused on the basket.  (If you are not strong enough to shoot with your arms above your head, just lower them to your chest.  But it is still the same form.)



Follow through...  Arm straight, legs no longer bent wrist curled over.
