Coaches, players, anyone! Try-outs?

Usually the coaches look at how hard you try. You will probably have a scrimage during tryouts. Try as hard as you can in these scrimages. It doesn't matter if you shots don't go in. As long as the coaches think that you are a willing player, they might just pick you for the team. Also, they will be looking for people with endurance and speed. They need players who can play for a long time and not get tired. Coaches also look for the areas that you are good in. You should be good in at least one area (3-point shooting, shot blocking, rebounds, etc). For the shorter people, coaches are looking to see if they can dribble good, if they can run, and if they can outmanuver the defense. If you are short, you have to have speed, agility, and good shooting. It would be good if you can steal too. The most important skills for you is dribbling and shooting. Pratice those. Also pratice sprinting. If you are tall, the most important skills for you are defense, in-the-paint-shots, and rebounding. Blocking shots are important too and they can have a good impression on the coaches.

Hey just go for it! The coaches will be impressed that you're trying. Just have confidence. It doesn't matter what the older girls think. They'll be way impressed if you make the team and won't give you any trouble any more. So just try out! If you don't make it, you just practice and try out again next year. And that's the worst that could happen. So it's not so bad! I played soccer in high school too and I loved it!

Every coach conducts tryouts differently, don't be worried though.  They usually want to see how you field the ball, the way you bat, how fast you are and if your a team player.  Just keep a positive attitude and don't get discouraged.  I'm sure you'll do fine.  Best of luck!

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!

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.

I think there are some "walk on" tryouts during spring training.  I am going to be practicing my knuckle ball all winter and show up and sign a 10 million dollar a year contract with some very lucky team.

Contact the coach and he/she will help you! It depends on what team.

Show up early, or stay late after a game or practice.  Some teams have open practices, so thats also a good chance to catch some autographs.

NFL teams don't give tryouts to walk-ons.  You would need some insider to get you in for your existence to even be acknowledged.\n\nNot like college football or even those occasional baseball cattle calls.

for what do u mean? the mls? because if ur talking about the MLS then the Columbus Crew holds open tryouts almost every year. IF u r talking about a local league, then u need to figure that out for yourself

during the tryouts, just play your game.  the coach is gonna want someone with talent and someone is a good team player\nu pass the ball and if they dont pass the ball back, dont yell at them just play good defense and every time one of the players makes a good shot or play, give them a high five\nthey might think youre stupid but the coach wont\nonce you get on the team theyll start passing the ball to you and then you show them ow the game is played\nthen everybody will want you to play on their team at school

My best advice for you is to get the backing of a local field and find a teacher who would be willing to be a coach or at least an adviser.  If you're not already a frequent visitor of www.pbnation.com go there.  There are lots of threads on there from people who have started up teams at their schools and there's lots of info on how they did it.

Hehe.  Yeah, I practice twice a week, sometimes even Sunday.\n\nAnd, my team is the best.  "God Squad".  We're always ready, because we've got the best coach.  He has good vision, and can really influence the outcome of the Game.\n\nIts not a really silly question, but you still get a silly answer.  :)

Contact the office of the team that you are looking to hook up with and tell them you are interested in trying out.  Most teams have a couple open tryouts during a scheduled time in the offseason.  Find out when that is, and show up.  Worked for me.

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
