This course is about developing basketball skills. I will teach you about shooting, ball handling, shooting footwork, layup footwork, and post moves. Everything can be done by any player with or without athleticism. It’s the effort you put in that counts. Not everyone is born with the genetic privilege of being tall, strong, fast, or bouncy (able to jump high), but everyone can improve their game by practicing ways to score over better competition. This course will be based around skill, and ways to maximize your scoring ability.
