Summary

Knee Up Shooting teaches players how to generate power by using their legs and driving their body through the shot.

Set Up

Start on one knee in a loaded shooting position, with the front foot planted. Explode backward off the front foot to get up onto the back leg, then step back toward the goal and shoot, transferring your weight forward through the release.

Coaching Points & principles

  • Emphasize being explosive off the ground, getting the feet underneath the body, and driving through the target rather than fading away.
  • The goal is to connect the legs, hips, and upper body to create a more powerful, athletic shot.
