Basketball clinic

My "one shot" gym-class library visit went well. As the students entered the library, I had a classic basketball video going that I had created some years ago of a great Afton player. I talked about his many skills: shooting, passing, defense, and ball-handling - and how they would frame our activities today.



Using 4 available cameras, plus a range of players and camera-operators, we filmed still and moving images of proper basketball techniques. These images have been files in our shared Photo folder so that students can create tutorials from them.





We finished up the class with everyone using regulation "4-sheet New York Times masking tape baskeballs" to shoot ten foul shots from the free throw lines. Seven out of ten was the winning percentage!
