Abstract

Forming a truly effective jump shot is a difficult task for many female athletes at all age levels in the sport of basketball. Although it requires patience and hard work, effective jump shooting may significantly increase individual athlete scoring in contests. The researcher, as a coach, believed this to be true; therefore, the researcher developed an original ten point, 100 shot, Star Jump Shooting Drill for seventh and eighth grade female athletes in the sport of basketball. This study tested the effectiveness of the Star Jump Shooting Drill using an experimental design with the participants' mean individual shooting percentages from three contests serving as the pretest and posttest data.
