Join a sport.  Not a club. A sport.  You can join a club too but sports will ensure that you are not.  But not anything like golfing... unless that's cool at your school.  Do something common like track, volleyball, basketball, softball.  The things that EVERYONE talk about

Get involved in a summer league and/or camps. Go to all open gyms the coach holds!!! They want to see dedication! Run. Lift weights.

Make some friends there or bring a friend if you're allowed. It'll be more fun! Especially if you get competitive.You could race with people, or see who could swim the longest, I don't know. Just have fun with it.

Try doing long tackles...Take a running dive at a tackle dummy. Concentrate on hitting the dummy at the waist line. Do high jumps...take a run at a basketball goal try to hit the backboard in the same spot every time. With a fellow player do shuck and jive...have you friend do sudden cuts and turns while you try to stay within 3 ft. Have someone throw a ball over your head or off to one side while you attempt to either swat the ball away or catch it. I used these to make the varsity squad as a 140 pound 5 ft 4 inch freshman who only did the 100 in 12 sec.

your height has nothing to do with it. I'm 5'1" and believe me things work out. Libero would be a good position because of your height though. As far as drills, to work on your passing see if someone will throw you a few balls every night and just focus on that. Make sure your form is good. As for jumping, if you work your legs then your all set. Try doing 2 small jumps and the next as high as you can for about a minute at a time. It'll work your leg muscles and if you do it every day then it will help. Also  if you do squats and recently i've found if you give people piggy back rides, it improves your calf muscles. For backrow hits, work on jump serves. If you can back row hit you can jump serve. I guess that's the best I can do for ya..good luck

1. How can u have a small school if you are AAAA.\n2.It kinda depends how your school plays.  If you make it to the goal line a lot you should be able to get into teh endzone 4/5 times.  And it is hard for a D end cuz u can cover or blitz.  It could depend on what the team is like to.So your stats dont exactly matter your fourtenn you have a bright future ahead of you if you work really hard.

i know how hard it is to be short and play vball. i'm 5'4" and i've ALWAYS been a DS or libero. really work on your serve and quick feet. i spent a whole summer just perfecting all my serves (jump, floater, top spin, EVERYTHING) because i'm usually a DS so i always serve. my coaches always trust me when it comes to serving and if it's an important serve, they trust me to take it because they're confident in me. i served 97.2% on my last season. also, footwork and ALWAYS being low helps. if you're fast and you can get to any ball, they'll definitely think more of you. just keep working hard and work on rolls/dives too! and getting off the floor REALLY quickly. \ntheres a drill where you lay on the ground and someone slams the ball against the ground, making it bounce back up, and as soon as the ball contacts the floor, you get up as fast as you can, get to the ball and pass to a target.then right where you ended up, you get back on the ground and do it over and over and over. i LOVE that drill.

wow, you gotta be amazing if you took the PG spot and are slow. Here are some things to make you faster. Run long distance suchas 3 mile runs. Also in those runs (as another workout) do fartliks which are running like sprints then jogging the sprinting etc. Also stretch alot and do leg workouts in the weight room. A good sprinting workout on the court are doing up downs (up and down, up and down) under 22 seconds you should be working to. Im one of the fastet on my team and can do 5 laps up and down isa bout 20 seconds. Good luck!

well, james, how old are you? is there a chance you haven't fully developed?  also, there are lots of sports that don't require size, but are based more on speed and agility.  if you don't like those sports, even lacrosse can be a sport for you.  i once knew a kid who was your size but a bit taller and he was extremely good at faceoffs and earned a college scholarship based on the fact that he was so useful for that one skill.  just practice, practice, practice!

I would lean towards the sports were you were excellent enough to get scholarship with. Football, basketball, softball, etc. Some other sports that are great but have rare scholorships are Golf, volleyball, tennis, etc.

Hmmm...It is too late for soccer, you could try swimming if you are a good swimmer.  If dedicated you could try basketball (doubtful to make a team though), baseball requires too much skill and experience (sorry), and there are limited others.\nYou could try to start ultimate frisbee club in your school.  It would look good for college, you could use your speed, no contact, and it is a very fun game.  You should try it.

Play Fullback or tight end.  Next join the track team and work as hard as you can.  Next thing you know you'll get a little quicker and can be even better.

what's your height? chances are you're not over 7 feet so to improve your game, practice playing a smaller position (like the guard or forward position). Once you have the quickness of a guard and the skills of a forward, you will dominate the center position with your size and abilities (assuming that you are the tallest because you play the center position). How to practice for smaller positions: take time to improve ball handling, driblling between the legs, crossovers, backdowns, spinmoves, etc. Improve your jumper and shooting range so the other team's center will have to step outside to guard you. RUN RUN RUN to build your stamina and so your coach will be impressed that you can run the floor. Every center who runs the floor before the opposition usually gets rewarded.
