You want to make the team boy?  Hustle hustle hustle baby, thats how you do it!  I want to see you the first man back when running lines.  I want you sliding  your feet on D. I want you diving for loose balls.  I want you running down the court getting back on D even when you know your beat!  Make your coach notice you and be like"this kids got enthusiaism!"  remember energy baby!  let me know how it goes

Be in shape before the season.  That means interval work (sprint/jog/spring/jog) and distance work.  You will have an edge over all the other players because your skill level will not drop off due to fatigue.  Be open minded because your coach may have a different approach to the game than your previous coaches.  \n\nLastly, work on your skills, dribbling, juggling, and if you can find someone to work with, passing and shooting.  And do not forget to work on your weak foot.  Coaches look for players with the ability to play multiple positions and capable with both feet.

First of all u should talk to one of the players in the team and ask them how the tryouts were and how physically fit do u really need to be. Then u should really build up your stamina and start working out. Also, work on the things that one of the players said u need to tryout.

The first guy who answered was retarded. If you want to get better you must\nA.)Practice your jump shot. Copy Jordan's. You must be able to jump in the air then shoot. That will enable you to do more difficult things like turn arounds, and fade aways.\nB.)Practice your ball handling. It may not always be fun, but unless you are 6 foot 8 you will need superior ball handling skills. You need a crossover and to be able to dribble with both hands.\nC.)Your inside game. The left handed lay-up will give you an edge because you will be able to go left or right. Work on hook shots, and floaters as well. \nD.)You must play people better than you and be willing to get your butt spanked for a while before you will learn little tricks they do and eventually surpass them through practice and hard work.\nE.)You must be in great cardio shape. Which means running a lot. Sprinting makes you faster.\n\n*Here's a little trick. Notice which foot your defender has closest to you and drive in that direction. They have less time to adjust that way. It's less effective to drive the other way unless you're gonna pull up and fade away, or your defender is slower than you.

Well get a rope ladder and lay it on the ground, then go down the ladder stepping in and out of the holes. do this up and down 5 times, 3 sets. Lunges will help ur power to the rim and in itself will surprise defenders. dribbling, just dribble around ur block and do one arm dribbling drills like going around each leg with one arm for 5 minutes a piece. these alone should greatly improve ur foot work and agility. shooting, shoot free throws after ur tired, this will better prepare u for free throws during a game. goodluck!

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.

my girlfriend has played ball almost all of her life. she said that the biggest thing you should work on is running. you run springts like crazy. and you are timed. most coaches give 10-20 seconds to run full court twice. even if you suck at shooting or anything else, if your fast, coach will at least use you to get the ball down the court. after that comes shooting and layups. you dont have to have perfect handling on the ball because they will prolly keep whateva pt guard they have. just make sure you are a good runner, and can shoot jump shots and layups

work on your stick skills and make sure that you can pass and catch pretty good with both hands and shooting with both hands wouldn't hurt to be good at for attackmen

have the other big man set you pics, or go high low have the other big man set up out by the free throw line and you guys can rotate, also the guards need to do thier job of swinging the ball to get the defense moving, id say have one guard be in the corner and pass it to him and hopefully that will bring one of the guys playing d downlow out to cover him and open things up. other then that id just say work on your short jumper.

Hey, that's great you are trying out for cheerleading! And you sound very prepared, but just some tips for tryouts...\n\nBe fit, on time and enthusiastic. Be prepared and alert to follow instructions. Keep a \npositive attitude. Always have a smile on your face! \n\nListen to your captain/instructor. Don't play around with other people too much, I mean, be friendly, but this is serious work. Pay attention to steps you will be asked to follow, because you will learn something and then you have to preform it on the spot!\n\nDon't be late for ANYTHING. Show up 3 hours early if you have to! 3 hours LATE will piss them off for sure!\n\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\nNEVER be afraid to ask a question (it's better than not knowing and making a fool of yourself), but don't say something like "I can't do this", no one needs - nor likes - a quitter, and that will send you packing SO fast.\n\nIf you make a mistake, move on and don't cause attention. Have tight moves and high jumps, and cheer LOUD!\n\nGet lots of rest the night before, don't try and do too much physical activity the day before besides stretching or practicing a rountine, bring snacks and lots of water, don't wear jewlery, don't wear makeup, don't chew gum, keep your hair puled back, and most importantly keep that smile and passion!\n\nI hope you have fun and make the squad! Good luck!

as a freshman i totally understand where you are coming from, i've got swimming tryouts this week and we'll see what happens i guess. but back to you: okay sounds like you've just got nervous jitters. all that you need to do is practice. that and endurance running b/c i've never played basketball but i know enough to know that it's just one long game of suicide. just do some extra endurance training, train the way you've been training and just do your best because that's all that you can do. best of luck to you with basketball and i hope that you make the team!!

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.

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!
