unless you got an amazing shot or are very very quick/sneaky I doubt it.

i am a girl in high school, now a senior, in my 10th grade year i was the first girl on the wrestling team. i was considered the light weight, 112, during weigh ins i know the guys stripped down to there boxers/breifs, i was the only girl and of course my coach was a guy, i kept my clothes on, lol. but dont be embarrased! go out and win, like i never did, lol

Good luck.  I was 6'1" 225 lbs and played OLB at a division 2 college and I was on the small side but I was quick (4.5 40 time).  Whatever position the coaches decide on for you I'm sure they'll want you to hit the weights hard the next 2 years, add a good 35 to 40 lbs at least, your options are limited.

Go for it!!!  That would be pretty cool!  You may be small, but that does not mean that you are weak!

nope you are fine! !!!! \nKeep up a healthy life style and take care of yourself now or you will regret it when you are my age.\n\nThe chart I am looking at says you can go up to 155 lbs if you are larger boned and not be cinsidered over weigght... \n\nbut I would be no more than 141 if I was you!

I think you will be alright.  You might talk to a Dr. about it, but I think you pretty much are stuck with whatever nature gives you.  \nI know there are orthopedic surgery solutions to being a dwarf, but I don't believe anyone having surgery like that could ever play basketball.  Besides at your height, no decent Dr. would operate on your legs anyway!\nBut do not despair!  When I got my learner's permit at age 16, I was 6 foot 1 inch.  By age 18 years, I was 6 foot 3 inches.  I grew 2 inches between ages 16 and 18.  AND you are two years younger than that!\nI think it will be close, but you might not make it.  Take up Baseball as well, just in case.  Fast athletes are in demand in that sport as well.

It depends if your are tall, probally other 13 year olds weigh more or less than you so there is no normal weight

What do you weigh at the moment? At 5ft6 and 13, you shouldn't really weigh more than about 140lb-145lb, but as your goal has to be realistic, aim to be at least 155lb. Good luck : )

Sure\n\nTalk to the Coach.  I have a friend who started his senior year.  You'll need to train and get in shape but talk to the coach.  He'll tell you what to do.

Unfortunatly my friend you can't gain height, you are only 15 so that means you may still be growing, you can strenghthen your bones by drinking milk, Vitamin D promotes bone health and that is the only thing I can think of to help you reach your maximum height potential....also since you are still young you should be working on your game instead of your height, I would work on my off hand as much as I could, and your handles, you are ideal height for a point guard right now but you may grow into a shooting guard and maybe fwd. Just concentrate on your game and the rest will take care of itself.

Well, it's going to vary greatly from team to team, especially from small schools to larger ones.\nBut if you're at a larger school, I'd say a LB could go about 180-190.\n\nAnd if you can bench about 225 or more, you should be able to get the job done. \nDon't be a bench-monkey and neglect your legs, though. Squats and the hip sled are what really build explosiveness.\nAnd make sure you're working your shoulders and back so you don't bench too much and pull your shoulders out of joint (it happens).

Hardly. I'm 5'8'' and 135 pounds and I think my weight is just right. Don't pay attention to the Mary-Kates and Lindseys of the world honey. You are probably going to grow to 5'10'' and be hot supermodel!

I wish I was 128 again sweetie! I know how you feel though...when I was in highschool I swore I was overweight at 125 lbs and the same height as you. Now...after having a child I have gained and am 150lbs. I know I am overweight now. I would give anything to once again be that skinny 125! You are fine the way you are!

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!!

I am 15 years old and 5'3 and i weigh 115. You are underweight.  I just went to my doctor yesterday actually. They told me im right under where I should be. So Your weight should be between 115-125.
