Serving underhand, crouch your body down as if you were going to bump. Have your right foot slightly in front of left. Make sure you're not standing up straight. Say you are right handed. Hold the ball out in front of you in your left hand. Pick a patch on the ball to hit. Make your right hand into a fist. Swing your arm back to shoulder height, and propel it forward like a pendulum. Some people prefer to hit it on the part of their arm where they bump it, because it can give more control, but it doesn't give as much power. Do what works best for you. Crouch, aim, and propel. That was easy, right? Make sure you don't bounce, throw the ball before, then hit it (you'll take out a ceiling light). You just need to hold onto it.

Summary: Position. Hands and arms. Do this move.

Though you don't need much to create a the basket, it will come together very quickly if you find all the parts before you start. You will need: A wire hanger. It cannot be a partially metal hanger made substantially of wood or plastic. A large, flat piece of cardboard. The tape of your choosing. Marking tape may be the easiest to work with; duct tape would certainly make the hoop durable. Markers or paint. Scissors. String (optional). You do not even have to dismantle the hanger, but just reshape it into a hoop. Do not cut away the hook, as it still can be of some use. Standard high school, college, and NBA backboards are rectangular, if you are looking to replicate that appearance. Try to make sure the relative scare of the hoop and backboard seem reasonable. For comparative purposes, an NBA backboard is 6 feet wide, while the basket opening is 18 inches (1.5 feet). That means the basket width is 1/4 (or 25%) as wide. Traditional hoops are painted red, but you can certainly customize it to fit whatever you desire. The backboard of most high schools, colleges, and all NBA franchises are now made of transparent glass; as there is no transparent cardboard, you can really be as creative as you want. You can attach the hook (which you bent up earlier) to lower back side of the backboard. Make sure the rim is as close to the backboard as possible. You can make make a net out of string, or even out of twisted tape. Masking tape will work well for this purpose, as it will not leave a sticky mess behind like duct tape would. There are two different taping methods you can employ. You can tape along the front perimeter of the backboard and extend the tape onto the wall to secure it. Alternatively, you can make tape hoops (by attaching a single piece of tape to itself, end-to-end with the sticky side out) and use these to attach the backboard to the selected surface.

Summary: Obtain the necessary materials. Bend the wire hanger into a circle. Bend the hook of the hanger so that it is at a 90 degree angle with the hoop. Cut the cardboard to the size and shape of your liking. Decorate the hoop and backboard to your liking. Tape the hoop to the backboard. Attach a net to the basketball rim (optional). Hang the completed basket to a wall or door.

The decision comes down to your budget and what you're comfortable working with. There are professionally made rests available for purchase that will secure your rifle, or you can use sandbags to create a firm rest. It is essential that the rifle does not move during the sighting process. Whichever rest method you use is fine as long as there is no movement. Depending on the rest you use, you may need to prop the front or the rear of the rifle with sandbags. Depending on the location that you're shooting, you may have access to different options. Comfort is not especially necessary since you won't be firing much from this position. If you are using a firing range, you may be able to use a bench at the facility. If you are shooting in the wild, you can either set a bench or table up yourself, or assemble the rest on the hood of a car. If you are prepared to lie down, you can set your rest up on the ground, provided that there is enough clearance to safely shoot. If you are using a gun vise as a rest, make sure that it is fastened securely. Wedge the butt securely into sandbags and rest the stock on another. Make sure that the rifle is as stable and secure as possible. The only thing moving should be the trigger when you squeeze it.

Summary: Decide between a dedicated rest or sandbags. Determine where you want to set the rest up. Place the rifle securely in the rest.

Be respectful to your teachers as well as your peers. Don't talk back to a teacher, just listen to them and understand that they are trying to help you, even if seems otherwise. Avoid calling your classmates names, teasing them, or spreading gossip and rumors. For example, if a group of your peers is making fun of the way someone dresses, don't join in with jokes. Instead, walk away or say something like, "Lay off, man. She's got her own sense of style." If a teacher pulls you aside to discuss your behavior, listen carefully to what they have to say. Don't roll your eyes or get defensive, just say "I understand, Mr. Roberts. It won't happen again," or something similar. You should admit when you have done something wrong, and tell the truth rather than lying. Not only are you likely to be caught in a lie, but then your teachers and parents won't trust you moving forward. Own up to your mistakes and find a way to fix them. Never, ever cheat. You won't learn what you are supposed to, and you'll get in a ton of trouble when you get caught. If you are struggling to the point where you are tempted to cheat, talk to the teacher or a tutor. Explain to them that you don't understand the subject at all. Many kids get in trouble for using curse words or speaking inappropriately. Avoid talking like that at school or in front of teachers and parents. Think of other ways to express yourself in a mature manner. For example, if a teacher assigns a 3-page paper, don't say "This is BS! What a waste of time." Instead, keep your thoughts to yourself or say something like "Wow, it's going to be a long night." Fighting will certainly get you in trouble at school, so you need to avoid it at all costs. If someone tries to pick a fight with you, simply laugh it off or walk away. It can be difficult to control your emotions in the moment, but it's a far better solution than wailing on someone and getting suspended. If you feel like the situation is getting out of control, talk to a teacher or counselor. For example, if someone says something rude to you, respond with "Hey, man, that was rude. Don't talk to me like that. Look out for your classmates. If you notice someone getting bullied, you could tell the bullies to stop or to knock if off. . Just because your peers think something is a good idea doesn't mean it actually is. Think the situation through and trust your gut instinct. If you have a feeling you could get into trouble for doing something, don't do it. Say your friends want to steal a rival school's mascot costume. Rather than going along with the plan, say "Nah, I don't want to get in trouble. I'll see you guys later," and walk away.
Summary: Show respect. Be honest. Use appropriate language. Avoid fights. Stand up to peer pressure
