Equiptment - Ball and basketball court
When learning to do a basketball free throw shot it is obviously very important to have a basketball and a court with a free throw line and a hoop. I will also need a camera so i can physically see my progress myself.
I have borrowed a basketball from a friend which is a regulation NBA basketball.
"The official ball is 29.5 inches in circumference, inflated to be between 7.5 and 8.5 psi, and weighs 22 oz.
These dimensions are typically referred to as a "Size 7" ball. NBA basketballs are constructed of orange
leather with black lettering" (basketball official size and weight, 2013).
The basketball court i will use is a brand new court at John Mcglashan college which has regulation free throw lines and basketball hoops.
"For all courts the “foul line” distance is 15 feet from the foul line to the front of the backboard" (Sports know how, 2012).
A basketball hoops dimensions:
"The regulation distance from the ground to the top of the rim is 10 feet for all levels of play. Regulation backboards are 6 feet wide (72 inches) by 42 inches tall. All basketball rims (hoops) are 18 inches in diameter. The inner square on the backboard is 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall" (Sports know how, 2012).
Camera:
The camera i will use is an iphone that i will get my friend to hold so he can take any videos or pictures while i am practising.
