Summary: Basketball, b-ball, hoops—these are all names for one of the most popular games in America. Whether it’s professional play in the NBA, college games, the local high school team, a friendly one-on-one game, or outdoor at the playground, basketball is exciting and fast-paced, pitting player against player and skill against skill. Having strong fundamentals like dribbling, passing, and shooting is the key to the success of any aspiring player or team. Though flashy dunks, trick shots, and showy dribbling are fun to watch and have their place, they often create a “superstar” mentality that ultimately hurts the team if not put in check. What makes basketball great is the combination of individual talent and team strategy, ultimately producing a match that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

In this free basketball video series, you will get instruction how to properly warm-up and stretch before hitting the court. Get tips on warming up your upper body with torso twists, elbow stretches, arm rotations, arm crosses and the hook shot stretch. Learn how to warm-up your lower body with knee bends, toe touches, hurdler stretches, straddle toe touches, jumping rope and jogging.
