Palubinskas Creates First-Ever Shooting Certification Program

World renowned shooting coach Ed Palubinskas and his Free Throw Master Academy have the ability to make you a MASTER shooter AND teacher.

The Free Throw Master Academy

The major goal of the FTMA certification program is to help you earn your stripes through new learning, motivation and personal desire in the pursuit of shooting perfection.

Who can benefit from the FTMA?

• Coaches looking to improve their teaching skills
• Parents looking to help their son or daughter improve their shooting skills
• Players of all levels looking to improve their shooting skills

We have broken down our system into three important sections:

• Desired - what you are looking to achieve from our program
• Required - what we need from you to complete the program
• Acquired - what you will receive from the FTMA

Our Program Is Designed For World-Wide Participation

The system created by the Free Throw Master Academy is all web based, which means all communication will be through your personal online "members only" area.  We use Youtube, e-mail, fax and an online e-course tool to present all of the material and information needed for shooting evaluation, education and certification.
