How old are u? College or High School? The average height and weight for a Division 1 College center is 6'9 and 255pounds. I am 6'8 and 225pounds and I am still a little under sized to play center.\nAt 6'0 and 170 pounds, you better not only know how to shoot, but be fast, and a good passer cos a point guard will probably be the position most suited for you.\nI wouldn't hurt to get into the gym and put a couple more pounds of muscle on though. It will help you not get pushed around or posted up by taller guards.

Practice different things each day. One day work on conditioning running and things. Then work on dribbling with your left and right if you are strong with both hands and can drive and penetrate with strong and weak hand you can make a great point guard. Then two of the 7 days do shooting work on right and left hand layups close midrange and outside jumpers and freethrows. Then another day work on your defense and rebounding. Do Defensive Slides and do this rebounding drill shoot the ball and make sure the ball never hits the ground but dont shoot from really close. If it goes in you dont have to get it. But if it hits ground do a lap around your house. Then just play with your friends play at your school or after school. Join a travel or AAU team. Join a summer camp. Find your local park and just play with other people and use the stuff you practiced in those games. \n\nIts not just ok to practice. My teacher told me you can practice a million times and still do fail. You have to practice right to suceed. \n\n And your state's NBA team always has a Basketball Camp. I went to Sixers Camp because I live near philly.

Start running a lot. I mean like 2 miles like 5 times a week. You need conditioning first. Then between your runs you could do Mikan drills. http://www.hoopsu.com/files/mikan_drills.html These drills will help hone your offensive skills. Also practice mid range shots more than any other shot. Three point shots are fun to do, but limit practicing it. Your brother should be strict because coaches are that way. Also work on your side to side movement, the quicker your side to side movement is, the better defender you'll be. For tryouts though, endurance is critical, thats why you need to condition yourself with running. You should also lift weights a few times per week if you can. It is not imminent you do that, but it would help. Then you should also study offenses. Most teams run a variation of the Motion offense. There are so many sets for the motion offense though, just try to learn it before you get to the coaches.

Just listing stuff on what is most likely required to be on a team,...high school team....\n\nYou need to know how to play tennis. To know at least the basics, not all the special techniques, but like forehand, backhand, overhead smash, serve (two ways to do it), etc. You should know how to do it and when do it. Also, you can't just have the knowledge of tennis, you could study and read about all you want, but you need to know how to play it. Are you able to run for the balls, able to hit them back? You need to practice, practice, practice. \n\nAnd for you, since you are a beginner, you should be practicing. Especially if you want to get on a team. And yes, preferably, get a proffessional to help you, or some lessons from an experienced player. You could watch tennis matches and read about it to know about the moves and tatics, etc. \n\nIt's not guaranteed that you will make the team, but it's still a chance that you would get in. The time, now and before the tryouts, just keep practicing...\n\nIf you want any more tips, just ask. ^^

Make sure you have enough facilities. Create some sort of tournament format. Try to promote the kids as much as possible. Have a Public Address announcer. Make MVP's for games/tournaments. Keep obnoxious coaches under wraps. They're kids not pros so the more annoying Bobby Knight type fathers that are there, the more problems that you will have.

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.

Ask these questions!\nWhat are you academic requirements?\nWhat is you percentage of graduating players?\nWhat are you techniques during games?\nDoes any of your plays work for the most part when needed?\nWhat is your record for a basketball coach?\nDo you have disiplinary actions or do you cry with them when your team loses?\nThose questions will put them on the hot seat!

What I would do if I were starting a selective 14-15 yr. old team would first be to spread the word of a tryout. Talk to nearby High School coaches and ask them for any athlete contacts. Put an add in the newspaper. Make lots of phone calls. Next, hold a tryout and assemble a team. Hold practices. Sign up for games to be played and tournaments to be played in. I'm not sure of the overall cost, but you could potentially get some sponsors to help shoulder the load. Most baseball tournaments are at least 200$ per team. Next is uniforms, travel, overnight stay, etc. Good luck with your team!

You need to talk to owners and managers of local businesses and tell them you have a youth basketball league and see if they would sponsor a team.

Scouts come and watch games and stuff. If you're talented they'll offer a scholarship. When you get to highschool try out for the team all years and such. That's really the only way.

have fun with that. i live in america as a 6' sg/pg and shoot over 50% from 3. the most ive done is talk to a d2 coach or two. but fill out the ncaa clearinghouse info and just look on college websites and email coaches. that and make a video of yourself playing real games and send that to them.

Nice to see another Singaporean online!\n\nHave you thought of approaching the Singapore Sports Council to ask for help. If it is a school related team, you could ask the MOE Physical Education department for some expertise as to how to coach and train a team, and do it yourself.

You need to go straight to the power.  Talk to your principle and if that dont work go to the board of ed. in your town.  You need to have a lot of people interested(enough to make a team).

Well what's the question? Do you want to get really good or impress your coach at tryouts?  \n\nIf you want to get really, really good, the only way to do it is to practice (the right way...get guidance by good coaches)/work your butt off and play against the best players you can.  \n\nHow to impress your coaches? Well, if your tryouts are anything like the tryouts I used to go through when I was in junior high/high school (about 7-10 years ago) then most of the roster is probably already filled.  What people don't get is that tryouts (at least in my high school) are for the last few spots. So, you basically have not a lot of time to show that you stand out and the bitch of it is you don't know what kind of player the coaches are looking for or what needs they're trying to fill.  So, play to your strengths.  If you're skilled and versatile, show them that.  But, what you really need to do is go balls out on every drill in tryouts.  Play with nothing to lose. I'm guessing they want guys who want to play. I've had teammates who weren't the best players on the court, but they showed they wanted it more so they made the team. \n\nHope that helps. Good luck.

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.
