You might think its too hard, or not effective training to use a tennis ball, but it teaches your mind the physiological and physical side of the way the ball moves. If your mind is completely aware of the way a ball will bounce if it is directed at the ground from a particular angle, then your dribbling becomes autonomous.

Practicing constantly with any kind of bouncable ball teaches not only physics and the way IT moves, but also the way you should move. Your brain will get used to moving into the right position to bounce the ball again. The point of doing it with a tennis ball is it is a lot harder (but easier to carry around) than doing it with a basketball, so you get the hand coordination down real well.

At my peak I was able to bounce the tennis ball through my legs, behind my back, with my left hand, from hand to hand.. etc. As a result, I never fumbled the ball in a game.

For your jumpshot, just get your coach to make sure your technique is correct, and then practice. The only tip I can give you is to try and make the angle of the shot a high arc. Low arc balls have higher kinetic energy on impact with the backboard or ring, and have less of a chance of going in except in special circumstances.

Im a bball coach btw, so if you have any questions just ask.

And can you dunk?
