If you want great information on shooting check out STACK Magazine. They had an article a couple months back written by one of the greatest shooting coaches of all time (he name is escaping me right now).  They also have a lot of articles on how to build strength, speed, agility, JUMPING, and other things. Great magazine. Give it a try.  (they have a website and i think is www.stackmag.com but i'm not 100% sure of that)

If you have an 8 foot vertical jump (highly unlikely) then you needn't worry about improvement. It thats an error then you could try walking around on the balls of your feet all day and also calf lifts.

For determining your correct wieght, your height is a lot more important than your age. There is a good test here: http://www.teenhealthfx.com/answers/Sports-18.htm

what i would recommend is to do skipping coz it works the calfs which is important in jumping. i would also say put weights while going about your current daily exercise routine. at first you will feel like crap, but after a month, you'll get used to it. when you take it off, you'll achieve your desired result.

Generally as a wing i would hug the sideline but you may want to try and fient a lead into the centre. hand signals are handy to, becuase you can run one way and signal another then shake off defenders by snapping back in the other direction (signalled direction) I cant really help you with centre forward because i never really got that position but i can say that strong stick skills and maybe a few deflections will get you some goals. Go for gold.

Do uphill biking exercises, this will improve not only your jumping ability but also your quick step acceleration.  By attacking uphill on my bike, I was able to jump about 6" higher and my speed was mostly unmatched on most courts I've walked on to.  You want to do 1-2 hour uphill biking for about 3 or 4 times a week.  You'll definitely see an improvement in your ups.  \n\nA side note: To dunk a ball, you've also got to be able to get a good grip the ball.  Its much harder to dunk if you can't palm the ball.  Dunking takes a lot of energy, I find that layups are just as effective even though it isn't as flashy, but you'll stay in the game for much longer.

At 6 foot 1 inch...stick to dribbling and shooting...dunking just isn't in your cards.

Deffinatly play!  Number one it shows great detication, which will help for next year.  Also it will help you improve, you can't get any better if you just give up because your friends arn't on the team.  In my middle school for modified basketball we have an A and  B team and I was put onto the B team, and I hated it!  But I stuck thought it and played, and now I'm a starting point guard on my Highschool Varsity team.  So deffinatly stick with it no matter what, if you love the sport just practice a lot.

the only way to get a better jump shot is to shoot them constantly for hours.  Remember to snap your wrist, point your arm high into the air for a better arc, and just practice!

try working on your abs, this will allow you to get your legs up higher...maybe try jumping on a trampoline also. it doesnt have to be big, i have a small one and my jumps have improved a lot! also work on arm strength for the back handspring..just work hard at it! and once you get it you'll have it. just practice. trust me! :) k well i hope it helps.

You didn't mention what position you play, or if you or your coach sent out highlight videos. I'm assuming they were sent. My suggestion is go to a University that is lacking in your position and try out as a walk on. Or, go to a Junior College and show your skills. I think that should be your last choice. Good luck on what happens.

with someone your size the biggest thing is going to be footwork and quickness. find someone who really knows what there talking about and have him help you on your footwork. its gonna make a huge difference. pretty soon you will be shooting nothing but point blank layups and free throws.  also work on your quickness. there are millions of drills that will help you with this. here are some:  http://www.basketball-plays-and-tips.com/basketball-agility-drills.html

When I was in high school, several of the best players on the varsity teams were short. My sister was one of them - she's only 5 ft 1 inch tall and she was a great player. Some of the other short players were notable for their speed and three point shots. \n\nIf I get a vote, I'd say go for it, but have a back-up plan. It's awful tough to make it as a pro-athlete, and whether or not you do, you'll still have to eat! (If you're wondering how to come up with a back-up plan, I'll tell this - the people I know who are most happy are the ones who are doing something they enjoy. Develop hobbies you love - you'll be suprised at how often they can turn into careers!)

like you said, your still a kid. Micheal Jordan wasn't able to dunk as kid either, just keep working on it and it will come. do squats and calf raises, by the summer you'll be able to jump alot higher.

start by practicing your approach to the basket without a ball. timing and movement are more important than anything else at this point. you need to time your foot work with your layup. after about a couple days or so use the ball. this will help you judge more accurately the timing you need to let go of the ball on the height of your jump toward the basket. of course doing this with your left hand if you are right handed will take some time to master but it will help. good luck
