A lot of kids in Junior high and middle school (Like me). Are trying to find their jumper,because they now have enough power to make them. I'm a center, I had a horrible jumper, until just last week. When tryouts began for the school team, the coach tought me how to shoot a jumper, just with some simple things, and I can already shoot better. JUMP it's called a jumper for a reason, even if you have enough power to use only hands to get it there, still jump. Keep legs sholder's width apart. Bend your legs down and jump, use your hands only to guide the ball, make sure you use a follow through and get your wrist as far out as you can. Even if it makes you look gay, it works. Also, make sure your arms are up, to make it arch. Already I have a good jumper. Now I'm playing Power Forward instead of Center, and I'm not scared to shoot it in a game anymore.
Note to centers:
Learn how to shoot a jumper, if you're taller than kids in your school now, it won't stay that way, in junior high and highschool is when kids get bigger than you, aned you can't play center anymore, work on your jumper now, before it's too late.

That is so true. I know somebody who's all cocky and whatnot because he's extremely tall. His shot is a one handed lunge. I just tell myself people will catch up. We try to make them work to improve, but they already think they're the best.

Yeah, I'm tall for my age, sure, but already I went from tallest to 4th tallest on our basketball team, the only way I cans tart now is to become Power forward, and work on my jumper.
