A practice device for improving the shooting skills of basketball players is provided which effectively trains players in proper arm movement and follow-through for free throws and provides a realistic shooting "feel". The practice device advantageously includes a basketball rotationally coupled to an elongated support arm, the latter being pivotally mounted to an upright, adjustable frame. A shooting arm guide is also provided adjacent and generally below the basketball in the form of a pair of laterally spaced apart upright plates. In use, the shooter positions himself with his shooting arm within the guide and his hands in engagement with the ball in the normal shooting fashion. The ball is then pushed upwardly as in free throw shooting with the shooter's arm being maintained in a desirable upright orientation. The rotational mounting of the basketball also permits the shooter to practice the proper follow through as the ball leaves his hands.
