LEARNING TO BE A SHOOTER: ABOVE: Sheldon Wolf watches closely as BJ Mulder demonstrates with his son, Keegan Mulder, shooting techniques during the first day of a three-day shooting camp at the Rehoboth gymnasium. The youth made few shots the first day using the hoop, because proper techniques are necessary to make shooting beneficial. The Mulders are from Orange City, Iowa. They make one trip out of the Midwest each summer to teach youth basketball skills as part of the Basketball's Effective Shot Training company. BELOW: Wolf practices proper holding of the basketball after first watching demontratons of the technique during the first day of a three-day shooting camp at the Rehoboth gymnasium.
