Improve Your Shooting
Repetition is the key to improving your shooting. There are many basketball shooting videos out there to help you with technique. But no basketball video can make you go outside and shoot 1,000 shots a day. If you need help with your technique, find a shooting video that can instruct you on how to fine-tune your shot. After honing your technique, get a ball and a hoop and shoot, shoot, shoot. Larry Bird said that when he was young, he would shoot over 1,000 shots a day, from all over the court. That worked pretty well for him, wouldn't you say? If you want to improve your shooting, practice, practice, practice.

Wanna Feel Mike? Try an Adjustable Basketball Hoop
Everyone wants to know what it feels like to slam dunk a basketball. For many of us, this is a far off dream. The closest most can get is by using an adjustable basketball hoop and lowering it from 10 feet to 9… okay maybe 8. All kidding aside, buying an adjustable basketball hoop is the smart way to go if you have children. From shoes to basketball hoops, kids grow out of everything. Most kids do not begin learning basketball on a full height hoop. By getting an adjustable basketball hoop for your children, you can start them with it lower and be sure you don't have to buy a new one every few years when they grow out of a size.

A History of Basketball
Since the broadcasting and taping of basketball games, there have been many great moments preserved on film. The advances in basketball over time can be clearly seen in how basketball videos have changed. In the 50s and 60s, basketball videos were strictly instructional - aside from the occasional spot on the Wide World of Sports. In the 70s, there were more basketball videos made focusing on great league matchups like Wilt vs. Russell. Since the 1980s however, basketball videos have been made chronicling every major event, league championship, and great player. If you are looking to learn the history of the game, get your hands on basketball videos from every era and break out the popcorn.

Penetrate Middle
On the offensive side, point guards and others should penetrate middle. I want them to get to the lane. If you can get into the lane, especially with a jump stop and are strong and solid with the ball, you are
pretty much unstoppable. You could shoot, use ball fakes and shoot or pass to the low post, or kick out for a ´3´

Agility Training for Speed
There are many ways to increase your speed through agility training. For the most effective workout, vary your exercises between classic sprint training, and more advanced agility training drills and equipment. Let's cover classic training with windsprints, which have always worked to increase speed and agility. Start from one baseline and sprint to the closest freethrow line and back. The move on to the halfcourt line and back. Next is the far free throw line and back. And finally the opposite baseline and back. Make sure you sprint at all times and that when you reach each line, you bend down and touch the line with both hands. Performing this speed agility training exercise correctly will definitely help your game.
Relative Motion

Along with all of the individual fundamentals, players need to understand the concept of "relative motion". That can best be described as realizing how one player fits into the space on the floor, given the "relative" positioning of the other players, both offense and defense. A player with this understanding will know how to move to get open, create proper spacing, passing angles, play good on ball defense, and give good team defensive help.
