The ball of the humerus seats in the "cup" (glenoid cavity) of the shoulder blade. It's held in place by ligaments from two places - the acromion and coracoid processes, which are finger-like projections from the blade. The former is actually a continuation of the spine of the blade; the latter pokes out from the front surface of the blade just behind the glenoid cavity. This part - the coracoid process - is conspicuously missing from the studies.
Sports related injuries really help the study of anatomy. (Oh! So that's what hurts.) Kung Fu will help you with this. XD. I am personally going deeper into the study of the knee, now! haha. oi.

lol @ knee study 
Thanks for the info on the shoulder, yeah I am still getting my head around the shape, even simple things like the width of the shoulders vs the width of the rib cage. Hopefully in time it will become more accurate, I see what you mean about the glenoid cavity, so I will try fix that.

LOL. Yes. Method based on experience.
And, yes. This is a complicated area of the body. There is a good art/anatomy book you can get online as a free PDF. I think I got mine via scribd.com, trading document for document (so, not exactly free). The author is Sarah Simblet with Photographer John Davis - Anatomy For the Artist, See page 102.

I just remembered that my first big advance in anatomy came with 3D anatomy models. At the time, when they first came out, they were free to view and even to download. The good thing about them, compared to photos, was that they could be rotated and studied from any angle - which eliminated misconceptions and bad guesses about how the body parts were composed. Studying the shoulder girdle in the round is the way to go, which is why I linked you to a 3D anatomy model site. (See the other post under this string.) I'm sure you can find better ones, but that one is as good a place as any to start.
