Guidance

Shots should be “game type” or “game speed” shots - take shots off the dribble, ball/pump fake - and really focus on using good form
~10% of shots should be free throws
<25% should be layups (for younger players a higher percentage of shots made can and should be layups)
Warm up with some ball handling and form shooting
SHOT TRACKER form is posted below; this form MUST be downloaded, completed, signed by a parent/guardian and turned in before September 10th to be eligible (email completed form to mahtomedi.basketball@gmail.com)
Please note, if you downloaded the form earlier, it was missing the dot in the email address. It has been corrected. Note the email address above for submission.

HAVE FUN with this over the summer! Challenge your teammates and encourage all of them to participate!
