I'll give you tips for preparing and for the actual tryouts if you decide to try out!\n\nAsk cheerleaders on the team for tips.\nFind a good gymnastics center in your area, and have skills such as back-hand-springs, aerials, front tucks, back tucks...\nUnless you are really tiny and are going to be a flyer, you need to get some muscle and lift some weights at least 3 times a week. Your going to be lifting PEOPLE and WEIGHT for every stunt. \nHave a solid jump.\nRUN. Fun a few miles every week. Start off at 1/2 a mile and work your way up. You need to train yourself or else you will get exhausted real fast. It may seem like a lot, but to keep up in cheerleading YOU NEED THIS.\nStrengthen your core. Sit ups help, but healthy eating does wonders. The core helps with good jumps and stunts.\n\nBe fit, on time and enthusiastic. Be prepared and alert to follow instructions. \nKeep a positive attitude. Always have a smile on your face! \nListen to your captain/instructor.\nDon't be late for ANYTHING.\nBe sure to stretch real good before and after tryouts. Don't attempt moves unless you already know them or have trained for them. It will cause injury and annoy other team mates. \n\nGood luck and have fun in cheerleading!

Are you talking about what the judges like to see for tryouts? \n\nOh, Hun, I can help.\n\n-Hair, always pulled back away from face in a neat tight ponytail.\n-Clothes, no baggy clothes, tight but reasonable, not trampy tight. Wear your school colors.\n- Don't wear jewlery, makeup, and NEVER chew gum!\n- Skills like splits, all jumps like toe-touches, herkies..., carwheels, roundoffs, backhandsprings, fronthandsprings, backtucks...\n- Personality should be peppy, enthusiastic, punctual (on time), prepared, and always pay attention and give it your all! \n\nGood luck in making the squad!

A freshman basketball team coach is probably looking for a few things, but the most important ones would be:\n\n1. Current Level of Skill\n2. Potential (Because eventually freshman play senior ball)\n3. Athleticism\n4. Teamwork!\n5. Attitude\n\nBasically, be humble, and do what the coach says.....and let your abilities talk for you. Something that seems to be overlooked so far is that the easiest way to make a basketball team is to absolutely lock people down with your defense. Defense requires much less skill than Offense, and therefore opens the door for hustle players to make the team as well. \n\nGood luck in tryouts.

This subject is very dear to me actually.\n\nYou must represent competition correctly.  Use it if you have the personality type that enjoys competition, but don't let it put you down. \n\nYou must remember it is fun, not that it is exercise.  If you are not having fun, you will not do well.\n\nFinally remember that people will be better than you.  But don't let that deter you from trying.  Even the worst basketball players can make a shot off Michael Jordan.  And Michael Jordan sucks at baseball, you could be much better than him.

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.

Make sure you have the proper, comfortable stance and balance.\nSee the rim.\nExtend your wrist backwards.\nThe basketball should rest on your fingerpads.\nTry to keep your elbow in and under the ball\nUse your legs... the longer the shot, the more you use your legs.\nRaise the ball smoothly and in one, fluid motion.\nFinish high with your arm to get good "arc" on the shot.\nFlop your wrist with a constant, relaxed follow through to get that backspin for a "shooter´s touch".

Make your coach notice you and be like"this kids got enthusiaism!"  remember energy baby!  let me know how it goes

You should do plenty of layups, make sure you can do it both right handed and left handed.  Do lateral side skips (as if you were defending someone)...actually, here's what you should do:  rent "Hoosiers" and you will see all the classic basketball drills when he's whipping the team into shape.  Those drills are still relevent today...if you do them, you will be better prepared for tryouts.  Or you could order the instructional videos at www.betterbasketball.com\n\nAs for endurance, if it's too cold to run, you could do jumping jacks for 20 minutes or more indoors.  Or skip rope.  Or you could get to the basketball gym early and run laps, or stay late and run laps.

About a week before tryouts the coaches will usually have a clinic where they'll teach you all of the material. Make sure that you pay close attention to everything they tell you. When it comes time for the actual tryouts make sure that your hair is up, shoes double knotted, and you make a great outward empression. When it comes to the technical aspects you should be sharp and tight with every move you make. Make sure you smile and if you have to perform a dance work it! After you finish a cheer or chant make sure that you spirit and keep a big smile on your face. Overall you should give off a sharp empression that is ofcourse peppy and outgoing. The coaches might also require you to do jumps, stunts, or tumbling, so tone up those skills by finding a local cheerleading gym. Hope this helps, and good luck at tryouts!

If you want to get your coaches attention then do all the dirty work that nobody else wants to do. Like diving on loose balls, rebounding, swinging the ball to the open man, and playing defense. Be the first one to practice and the last player to leave. Show the coach you are willing to do extra work to get your chance. If you are as good as you write then all you need is an opportunity.

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.

dont worry about what you can't do because you won't be able to learn how to do a lay-up  by tommorw. So concentrate on what  your best skills are, like if your really fast or if you have a good shootling touch. Have confidence in what you can do and don't worry about what you can't.
