lmao at the first answer, but that might be a little extreme. my suggestion would be take him with you to shooting range everytime you go, he will learn alot of it just by watching you handle the gun, next get him ready for the hunter education course (if available in your state) and i prefer to make my son's first gun a single shot, so he will learn to appreciate 1 shot at a time instead of going into the "rambo mode" just because he has a few rounds up in the mag. and be strict about gun safety he will only learn to repect firearms as much as you do.

Practice shots that you'd take in a game. Stand still, catch and shoot. Stand still, catch, dribble and shoot. Catch while on the move and shoot. Catch while on the move and fake or just go right into the dribble and then shoot. And, creating off of fakes (while a pivot foot is planted). Make sure you square up to the basket when shooting. Both feet should be pointing at the basket, and your body should square up to it. Make sure your power is coming from your legs, not your arms. Remember to follow-through on your shot. Practice like crazy. And be intense. Don't be lazy, work hard. If you half-heartedly practice getting shots off, they won't be very effective when a tough defender is near you in a real game

First, get your back to a wall. Play it defensively, protect your face. Watch for flying objects from the corners of the room, they can get ya unaware. Look for opportunities for low-risk cheap shots at those that are closest. Last one standing wins. Good luck!

The library, local gun club, gun store, or somebody from a Boy Scout or Girl Scout camp or YMCA Im sure can help. The internet can be a good place to start.

To get better you need to practice by your self everyday . You need to hit balls at least 2 to 3 hours every day. Do the L shape practice on the corners. Do the circle practice in the center of the table with out the cue ball leaving the circle.To give you a standard of what your up against. I played this guy nine ball. He ran 10 racks of nine ball on me. When I finally got a shot it was a  hard bank shot and missed then he ran 20 more racks of nine ball on me. These guy are out there. And hes not the best . Hope that helps

If you have your midrange game down, you're on the right path.  Just step back a few feet and practice, practice, practice.  I became a much better shooter after my school's basketball team set a personal goal one summer.  If we shot 20,000 shots over the summer, we got a T-shirt saying we did.  Although you won't get a T-shirt, you'll be on the team as a 3 point shooter and you'll feel very confident about your shooting ability.

Just how old are we talking about? If they're 6-9, teach them to dribble, and basic skills like shooting. If they dont have correct form, dont worry about it. It will come with time. Explain only basic rules of the game, such as, no pushing, no walking with the ball, and how to shoot in your own basket. DOnt go into very many details at firlst. If they semem to be understanding, then you might do into more, but just start with basics.

Play hard, Play with heart, Play smart. Try your hardest and never quit. Focus on your basics. Good kicks, good traps, good runs. Believe in yourself and you will do well.
