YMCA's teams are not select but you can build your way up from a starter's team, if you're better than those guys you'll go to intermediate, then advanced. Try the YMCA on 132nd and Center across the street from Millard Library.

Play team basketball with boys at your neighborhood court. Pratice everyday by working on both left and right hand lay ups, dribbling, free throws, and shot 500 or more shots a day and run for endurance.

Absolutely you can walk on Div2 and 3.\n\nDivision 1A you'll be competing against potentially hundreds of scholarship candidates.\n\nStart small, if you're that good you can look for scholarship to play later.

There might not be any courts set up yet at http://www.hoopsfinder.com , but you may want to register and list a few games there so that other people with the same question can find a game in the future.

The Euroleage has been thriving for some seasons now and basketball is very popular, particularly in Spain and some Eastern European countries. The standard of competition is very high indeed. One key thing to note is that the fundamentals in European teams are very very sound, some would say even more so than in the NBA, and every player will be expected to be able to set picks, do pick and rolls, shoot a decent mid range jump shot, set effective screens and so on. If you are with the air force, I would suggest trying to get a posting in Germany, where Basketball is getting increasingly popular, and perhaps seeing if you could play in a semi-professional league there first.

3 point shot never used to exist.\n\nBasketball used to be about 5 men working as a team. Now, the basics are lost and there is too much showboating.\n\nWhen did traveling cease to be a violation? Today, they allow 5,6,7,8,9 running steps while carrying the ball to the layup!\n\nYears ago, blacks never played Basketball. Today, whites rarely play basketball.\n\nYears ago, 6'4 was tall. Today, 6'4 will get you stepped on!

Well i agree i would watch some good college games on tv or ones that were recorded. The other thing that most kids want to do is go to a local "wall" brick preferably and just throw back and forth left and right. Or play with a friend!

You would have a better shot at getting an atheletic scholarship if you actually played at a better highschool.  If you play at an unknown school then the college scout teams wont even look at you.

13 plyrs/tm is probably too many. you wouldnt get enough teams to have a decent league, unless your school is massive or soccer-crazed. i would suggest play 5 v 5 or 6 v 6 games. this way each team would only require 6-8 players and you'd probably get mor e interest.
