If you even have to ask such a question, something is wrong... I suspect your opinion of your skills, size, or ability level is inflated\n...I coached high school ball for 8 yrs, and more than once I cut bigger, more talented players in favor of smaller, less skilled kids who ALWAYS tried hard...kids who always try hard are winners on and off the court

No, that is a VERY good weight for you height. If you lose any more, you will be underweight. Just keep eating healthy and excersizing, and you'll be fine!

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

I ran a 5 minute 9 second mile freshman year of HS and I was 5'4'' and 133lbs. Now I am 5'5.5'' and 150lbs and haven't timed my mile yet and think I will do bad. But in good shape. I'm going to be running it in a timed event in a couple days and nervous.

how in heavens name do you expect to be ready for tryouts if you were out of shape?....you shouldve been working out and training leading up to the tryouts if you want a sporting chance of making the team...my feeling is anyone who shows up out of shape for tryouts doesn't deserve to be on the team...and since you did it doesn't seem you are seriously committed to work hard for the team...i suggest you skip this year and prepare yourself in earnest for next year

You are not at all over-weight. Get ur BMI(Body to Mass Index) checked. If its 24 or less, I think you are just doin fine. You really dont want to be called skinny, do you?

Chill dude, my mate was like shortest dude in class at 15, now he is like 6'3. He shot up at 18. Be patient, and eat lots of protein and carbs.

Its good that you are in varsity ball. Keep on playing very good and keep the effort. Sooner or later when you have games you wont know but some of the coaches from colleges will be there. More likely they will wait until you are a senior. Good luck!

You should practice both positions and see where you are most comfortable, then tryout for that position. Bottom line is the coach will probable make the decision for you.

have fun with that. i live in america as a 6' sg/pg and shoot over 50% from 3. the most ive done is talk to a d2 coach or two. but fill out the ncaa clearinghouse info and just look on college websites and email coaches. that and make a video of yourself playing real games and send that to them.

If you really want to play and you're willing to dedicate yourself to it, then yes you should try out. Don't worry about your size (at least not at this point). Get yourself into shape before tryouts/summer practice. Obviously strength training is important, but you need to work on your stamina and agility. Work on both distance running (a mile or two a day, work your way up to it if you need to) and short and mid-length sprints. For sprints, you want to run about 100 yards with about 30 seconds in between sprints, and a total of about 8 - 10. Running up and down bleachers is also a great way to get your legs into shape. As far as agility, work on running backwards while making sure to keep your balance and not shifting your weight back. Other than that, the best thing I can suggest is to talk to one of the coaches. The vast majority of teams have a "voluntary" off-season training program. If you can get into the program, the coaches will be able to help show you what you need to work on. It's also good to get involved so your face gets seen and the coaches start to know you. Of course, that can work against you if you slack off and don't work hard while you're there. Good luck, work hard, and have fun.

there are always walkon tryouts, depending on the school that you go to.  if you go to a big time school, it will be alot harder than if you were trying to play at a smaller school.  if you have never played, then odds are you will have a hard time making a college team, as most of the players have played for all of their lives.  i would suggest trying out to find out where you athletically with your peers.  if you dont make the team, join or establish an intermural league at your school!  you could be a hero either way!
