The summer months will have a HUGE impact on your next season. Hit the driveway, the parks, the gym, wherever you can find a regulation height 10 foot basket. Use a regulation size ball (28.5), and start hitting your shots!!

The board of directors of the Hopkins Girls Basketball Association, in conjunction with the Hopkins high school varsity basketball program, is pleased to announce the third year of our summer shooting program, the HGBA 3000 Shot Club. The program is available to all players that participate in the HGBA travel program during the upcoming 2011-2012 season.

All members of the 3000 shot club will receive a specially designed t-shirt, and will be recognized at the HGBA opening night and at the halftime of a Hopkins girls’ varsity basketball game. For 2011, all players that make 6500 shots will also receive an additional award to commemorate their achievement.

To become a member of the HGBA 3000 shot club you must make and record 3000 shots during the summer of 2011, from June 3 through Labor Day. Forms to record your shooting activity will be posted on the HGBA website in the handouts section. WWW.HOPKINSGBA.ORG. There is also a shot chart posted on the website to help you with developing and working on a wide variety of shots in your practice routine.

It is very important that you practice with proper shooting form.

Your success at making shots is directly connected to using and developing proper form and shooting mechanics. We have links posted on the HGBA website for online resources that can show you how to develop a consistent shot.

You are on your honor to keep track and record your made shots. When you have completed your summer shooting, have one of your parents sign your shot record. Mail your signed and completed shot record – including your t-shirt size – to:
