How To Video Your Jump Shot 


What You Should Record: 
 
Stationary Jump Shot
Shoot your jump shot at the middle of the free throw line. Shoot the ball from your shooting position. Do not bounce the ball before your shot.
 
Catch and Shoot Jump Shot
Shoot your jump shot at the middle of the free throw line.
  • Catch and shoot off an inside out pass from the offensive left block
  • Catch and shoot off an inside out pass from the offensive right block
  • Catch and shoot off a pass from your shooting-hand side (wing area)
  • Catch and shoot off a pass from your weak-hand side (wing area)
 
Jump Shot Off the Dribble
You will start dribbling from the top of the free throw circle. Do not use more than two dribbles.
  • Shoot a jump shot off the dribble going right
  • Shoot a jump shot off the dribble going left
 
Record Two Views of Your Jump Shot 

Rear View
You will at the middle of the free throw line.
The camera should be set on a tripod at half-court and at an angle to see the position of your shooting hand set just over your shooting side shoulder. The recorder should zoom in so the view includes your whole body, each elbow (the intersection of the free throw line and lane line) and the top of the box on the backboard. This will allow you and the coach to view your stance, hand position on the ball, follow through and ball going through the net.
 
Front View
The camera should be set on a tripod behind the basket and baseline. The recorder should zoom in so the view includes your whole body, each elbow (the intersection of the free throw line and lane line). This will allow you and the coach to view your stance, hand position on the ball, and follow through. The recorder should keep the view on your total body and not move the camera to see the ball going through the net.
 
 
What Camera Should You Use
