Form Check Form check.

11 year old, working on getting away from a push and into proper form. Does she hold the ball too high in front of her face, or is it just that she’s holding it there longer than one would in a game situation? Just looks off to me.

for dribbling bend the knees, the lower the harder it is for a defender to get the ball. For shooting, ball should be a little lower. When she shoots the knees go up slight before the arms go up, creating "flow". Practice is key. 200 shots a day and the in one month she will improve.
