The 4 strategies above depict the strategies our team came up with, as well as means to complete the strategy with a desired impact of scaling sports to better suit children and their biometric data This paper is pros and cons of  the three means to accomplish the strategies we felt were best. Note the + are pros and the - are cons. Ultimately we decided the best course of action would be to blend a mixture of strategies to best accomplish scaling a sports to better suite children and ensure they are playing in a safe manner with the proper form. The strategies we choose to blend are to better scale the ball of the desired sports circumference and change the internal gas to a Nitrogen or Helium to save weight. Additional data will be needed to see if the weight saved is negligible and what the impact would be on the trajectory of the ball. Moreover, we want to create a fully adjustable hoop were height, width, and width of the rim can be adjusted for the  sport of Basketball. ...

 Week 1: The Mechanics of a Basketball shot Preparation Phase: Toes pointing at the hoop Dominant foot slightly ahead Knees Bent Shooting Hand behind the ball Support Hand on the side of the ball Elbows under the ball Eyes on the target Execution Phase: Extension of the legs Elbow at 90 degrees with Shooting Hand under the ball Extension of arms Release the ball prior to reaching peak height Follow through Phase: Follow through with motion and hold until ball hits the target Information derived from: http://biomechanicsbasketballjumpshot.blogspot.com/2015/06/blog-post.html Above is a Biomechanical Analysis of a person shooting a Basketball Jump Shot. The video outlines the musculoskeletal systems angles and torque required to shoot a basketball.  Other common Injuries associated with Basketball are: Patellar Tendonitis Patellofemoral Pain Osgood-Schlatter Disease Hand, finger, wrist strains Small Fractures and contusions of the Hands, phalanges, metacarpals, and carpals Concu...
