First of all, you need the talent and the body. If you don't have that, you're almost screwed. Next comes the work ethic. If you have time, go practice dribble moves, shots (not just jump shots, but catch and shoot too), cuts, etc (all the fundamentals for basketball). If you don't have the time, find time. Then play against people who are better than you. Ask them for help too.

overall: after every game, ask your coach bout your mistakes and how you can improve. shooting: you have to do a lot to improve..oh, ask your coach/friends on how to bend your hand too.(different people, different positions so try all of them then use the one that you think is best!)  talking to your coach: write what you want to say somewhere that you can see, then give it to her or read it out.\ni hope it helps!!

It takes a lot.  You need to shoot tons of jumpers, work on your handles, know when to pass and when to shoot, when to go to the hole and when to stop and pop.  You gotta watch a lot and play a lot.  You always need to try new things as soon as you are good at what you have.  Ball is about getting better all the time and the best thing for it is practice and play.

alright ive played basketball all my life and ive learned alot from my family and going to basketball camps and all that. soo i will help you out k . first with your shooting the best way to improve is practice keeping your arm at a 90 degree angle and follow through. just practice . play with someone better then you cuz one day you will be able to beat them. Also going to basketball camps in your area help you alot.

Catch the defense offguard and take advantage of what they leave open for you. Use the shot clock and time outs to your advantage. Try pressing on the inside to draw the foul or taking a hook shot.

2 suggestions:\n1) when you are looking down and doing your dribbles, pick out a small dent or mark on the floor and try to hit it all 3 times. This action of "aiming small" will make the hoop an easier target.\n2) Do some free-throws in your head when you find the time( when you wake up, when you are about to fall asleep, and before a game ) studies have shown that ppl who practice free-throws in their head before actually shooting shot 20% higher than those who did not  ;)

shoot the ball 1000 times every day, work on your passing.  also you got to be smart, if your a shooting guard your probably smaller than most other players so you have to make up for your size by shooting and being smarter than the other players.

I don't know how old you are but you really need to practice.  If you feel embarrassed doing it in front of your team, stay after and just stand close the basket with the ball in your left hand.  Don't use your right hand, just concentrate on your form.  If you're good with your right hand you should know the proper form so I won't bother to explain it to you here.  Shoot 5 times from the left side, 5 times from the center, and 5 times from the right side-all with your left hand.  Then practice hitting the backboard on the left side with your left hand.  You can eventually start practicing left handed layups.  You'll be a left hand shooter in no time!

Lots of things. Jump training, speed training, ball handling, and shooting. Run laps, Air Alert (you can find it online), dribble in your free time, and shoot hoops also.

Try to call someone advance to practice with you and learn how to intercept pass and stuff,and also try shooting from a close range at first and gradually get futher and futher as u improve

first, strive to be ambidextrous (ability to dribble with both hands). then learn the Spin Move, Pivoting, Thru The Legs, Windmill, Butterfly, Spider, Etc. Basics are all the same. Juz Pass the ball more often & avoid too much body contact with opponents. we're not professionals anyway. Let the Centre or Forwards do the scoring job.

If you do not possess skill, concentrate on improving the accuracy of your pass, increase your fitness, play as a back, how to cut the ball without committing a foul, ho to shoot from all angels and positions. some skills you could gain by persistence and good training.

well most of the nab's best shooters spend hours shooting so spend around like 2 hours just shooting. Throw the ball off the backboard and try rebounding it. also practice layups like around for 30 min layups are so easy but people tend to missem\nTRY this link it has drills and many great ways to practice and has videos to show you how to do them\nhttp://www.coachesclipboard.net/VideoClips.html\n\nalso try this link it has everything from teaching you how to jump higher to shooting\nhttp://insidehoops.com/gym/

First of all...congrats on trying out for the team! That's great that you're willing to try something new.\n1) you have to dribble the ball when walking (bounce the ball) if you take more than to steps without dribbling then its a travel\n2) get the round thing through the round thing! \n3) there are 2 hoops. one is for your team and the other hoop is for the other team. make sure you know which direction you're going.\n4) you can't stop dribbling and then start dribbling again...its called a double dribble\n5) There are five people from your team on the court at a time. ask your coach what the different positions are that he would want you to play.\n6) Each shot is worth 2 points, unless it's outside the three point line which means its worth three points. Free-throws are worth 1 point.\n7) there are four quarters in a game. The different times of them vary a little.\n\nThere are a lot more rules, but it would take me a long time to explain all of them. I hope you make your team. Remember, coaches like it when you show them that you work hard and do what they tell you to. Just work hard and have fun!! DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

work hard always move at full speed never give up. stay in front of your man on defense keep your eye on his midsection instead of his head stay on the balls of your feet when on defense. always have your hands out on defense. when pushing the ball up court always have your head up. Dont dribble so much and make strong passes shoot when your open dont wait. Be aware on the court look for mismatches smaller guy defending bigger guy or slower guy gaurding faster guy. If a guy is shooting good that day try to give him the ball until he starts missing then start driving to the hoop.

depends how good you are  i would have enjoyed giving you a precise and complete answer had you given a bit more information as to your level of play now.\nbeing good at basketball is the same as being good at anything else: you work at it, you practice, you observe carefully those who do it better, you enjoy yourself when you play, you react when its time to react, you think when its time to think, etc.\nthe ball should be part of your hand...and you should be part of your team
