It's going to take a lot of practice before you are consistent. Just keep that in mind. \nLine up a little farther away from the service line to give yourself room for the jump. You can either toss one handed or two handed. The trick is to toss high and a little in front so that you have time to do an approach and meet the ball. The approach is almost the same as a hitting approach except you stay facing straight ahead. So toss, do the approach and hit. Good luck!

i like to do jump shots

The best way of practicing before a game is to shoot around and do calf raises to make you faster and jump higher. All so do lay ups and practice your 3 pointers and jump shots

first of all, your position needs a left leg player but also you should use the right leg in shooting.i mean when you are running dribble with your left and shoot by the right.in corner kicks and wide crosses from the right , try to be in the 18 yard area if you are a header or you can wait for the ball outside the area to shoot directly, first time or dribble and shoot without neglecting your duty in defense.

BEEF!! \nBalance: stand with your feet shoulder width apart\nEyes: keep your eyes on the target\nElbow: make sure your elbow isn't sticking out but instead at a 90angle\nFollow-through: it's like a downward snap of your wrist\n\nsome pointers...\n-make sure you're squared up to the basket\n-shoot with your strong hand, balance with the other\n-start close and work on your consistency\n-lay down & practice shooting your form\n\nGOOD LUCK!

do either a fake shot pass dribble and or maybe even do a hesitation dribble....that works evertime and then after doing it bust you butt down the court to get a good shot!!!!

Assuming your talking about Basketball...\nLay on your back and "shoot" the basketball up in the air with little or no bend of your arm. Try to make the shot as straight as possible and have the ball land back in your hands without moving. I did this when I was playing B-ball back in High School. Did the trick with strengthening my wrist as well as control.

For digging....Make sure you are not swinging at the ball. If you have your hands in the right place and the hit is hard enough, the ball will pop right off your platform. (also....have your hands positioned to the setter so your ball won't go right in front of you) \n\nFor serve receive....Before a game...try to know what types of serves your opponent has. Float serves will tend to change direction at the last second, so be ready to move your feet. For top spin, getting to the right place is half the battle. Then just stick out your hands and angle to the target. (might require slight movement of the platform) For jump serve, it is likedigging, stick tyour hands out and angle because it is coming hard. \n\nFor passing...stay low (Good tip someone told me: if you can touch the ground without having to really extend your arm...you are low enough.) Also, have your feet spread out a little more than shoulder's length so you can move quickly and not easily fall over. IF you are over-passing, take a little off and aim behind to the ten foot line and maybe then the pass will land past what you aimed for and to the correct  spot.

Here are a couple simple drills using simple household items for each basic aspect of the game:\n\nHitting:\n     Using a paddle or an oar like you might find on a boat, have the hitter hold the paddle against his lower back with the large part of the paddle pointed in the direction of the cather. Toss wiffle or tennis balls over the middle of the plate about shin to knee high, no higher.  The player should stride and then swing the paddle using only his legs, his hands are there only to hold the paddle not to help.    This drill helps players to understand the concept of hip rotation (which is that the straightening of the front knee pushes the front hip back, and the bending of the back knee pushes the back hip around the corner).  This is where the majority of a hitter's speed and power comes from.  As the players get more advanced you canthrow overhand put some more speed on the ball.  (make sure the players stride forward when you release the ball as any good hitter would do)\n       Another good hitting drill is as simple as swinging into a heavy bag, rolled up rug, or a tire of some sort, as long as its heavy and hitable.  If possible lean whichever tool you use slightly towards the hitter.  This will demonstrate proper swing plane technique (slightly up to match the slightly downward plane of the pitched ball), good hand position at contact, and understanding the triangle of the eyes, hands, and sweet spot of the bat.\n        Contrary to popular belief, drills like soft toss and short toss lead to techincal and mental problems in a hitter's swing leading to hitters being early, chopping down, and rolling over their wrists. Coincidentally try to focus on mechanics leading up to the contact point.  Once the ball makes contact with the bat, Newton takes over.  It constantly amazes me how hitters focus on their follow through like it helps their hitting.  You follow through whether you practice it or not and it does not affect the hitter's ability to hit.\n\nFielding:\n     Take your players and a basketball to a court or someplace with a hard level surface.  Because basketballs have good bounce to them, it is easy to teach players the fundamentals of playing the hop.  There are three hops long, short, and middle. The long hop is from the time the ball starts to come down until it is about an inch or two off the ground.  This is where the short hop takes over until the ball has come about two inches off the ground.  And the middle hop is between the two.  Stay away from the middle hop.  The short hop is acceptable but should only be played about 10% of the time.  The long hop is the best place to field a ball.  Bounce the basketball to your players and have them field the ball in the middle of their body and play the long or short hop.  You can do this with or without gloves, just make sure that their glove hand is under the ball and palm-up.\n         A fun game/drill you can use with your players is one that teaches them to block balls and lose their fear of being hit.  Take two cones or a section of fence to use as a "goal".  Have them line up outside of the area and enter one at a time.  You will pepper tennis balls or wiffleballs at them in an attempt to get the ball past them in the goal area (By pepper I mean like the drill, with an open stance and pushing the ball lightly back at them, with a little mustard on it depending on the ability level).  \n\nPitching:\n          I think that Tom House's theory of pitching is the best and most logical approach to pitching that there is out there.  A simple overview would be this for a motion.  Both feet on the rubber pretty close together.  Have your pitcher point their throwing arm straight ahead and have them move on the rubber so that arm is now right down the middle of the plate.  Now your pitcher is in a good position to pitch.  Glove foot should go straight back no longer than the length of his foot.  The other foot will pivot 90 degrees so

Depends on what the ref saw.  Techincally, if you jump and raise the rock to shoot  - but don't shoot - then you have commited a up & down and must turn over the ball.  It doesn't make a difference weather you jump forward, backward, sideways, or vertical.  The key is that you are looking to shoot and not pass.

Shooting skeet and clay pigions is probly the best way to gain accuracy.....also....practice, practice, practice....you can have someone tell you how to shoot all they want, but you will not gain anything until you shoot....its going to take time and lots of shells....you will also find a day and the shooting range a good way to have a good time and also spend time with your family(if they shoot also)\n\n1.  Make sure you are using the same gun everytime....each gun will shoot just a little differant.\n\n2.  Make sure to shoot the same way every time....practice rasing the gun to the same position on your shoulder and holding the gun the same way every time you pull the trigger....this will keep you consistant, which is very important when shooting accurate....\n\n3.  Try to use the same type of shells....different types of shells will have different speeds and loads....affecting the way they shoot.....also remember dove loads will usually be 7 or 8 shot....and they will shoot differant than say a 4-5 shot you would use for pheasant....\n\n4.  Do not get frustrated if you miss....that will only make things worse....enjoy shooting, and practice, you will get better with time..\n\nThey answer before mine also makes a good point....flying birds are a lot different that targets....so once you have the basics at the range you will still need practice at the real thing so do not get discouraged if you hit 9 out of 10 clay targets and then only hit 3 out of 10 birds....you will get better with time...\n\nand don't listen to all those anti-hunters....dove is great on the table and fun to hunt....just eat what you shoot or make sure you know someone who will take the meat if you don't like it.....most of all enjoy the time outdoors and respect the game laws and ethics of hunting....and GOOD LUCK on a great hunting season.

The lay up shot is a very common type of shot used in basketball.  You never get much of a chance to take a shot at the net from a standing still position.  You usually have to find an opening and move in quickly.  If you do the lay up shot correctly it almost always scores.  It is a very difficult shot to learn because you have to dribble, know when to jump and aim for the sweet spot on the backboard.\n\nTrust me, it is almost always an effective shot.  Try standing still, and throw the ball at that sweet spot.  The ball always goes in.

driving on a fast break its best to pick up and get the goalie up then shoot when they fall. if you've got heavy d from behind a quick screw or t shot is perfect. but experiment with what feels best for you. i know a few people that cant make a traditional wet shot to save their life, but have created their own versions that work well for them.

Easy, use your toe. Punch your toe directly in the center (middle) of the ball.\n\nYou get a knuckle ball effect, as an old keeper, I hated those shots more than anything else.\n\nAlso place your plant foot a little (3 or 4 inches most) behind the ball for an airborn kick, don't lean back or the ball will go too high.

I used to have the same problem. Except my master hand is the right. You need to practise shooting with your right at a close range first to control your strength. Do some lay up with you right too.(foot work must be left leg take off though). If you have master your right hand and if you can really do some hang time, it will really be advantages when people wanna block your shots from the left but you switch right. This is extremely hard to block in a lay up or a close range shot.

Practice shots that you'd take in a game. Stand still, catch and shoot. Stand still, catch, dribble and shoot. Catch while on the move and shoot. Catch while on the move and fake or just go right into the dribble and then shoot. And, creating off of fakes (while a pivot foot is planted). Make sure you square up to the basket when shooting. Both feet should be pointing at the basket, and your body should square up to it. Make sure your power is coming from your legs, not your arms. Remember to follow-through on your shot. Practice like crazy. And be intense. Don't be lazy, work hard. If you half-heartedly practice getting shots off, they won't be very effective when a tough defender is near you in a real game
