In Season Weight Training for Basketball?
957222
I have a lot of experience with this. You do want to lift weights but i would recommend only one body part at a time when you lift and nothing too heavy. You want to maintain muscle you have without sacrificing your basketball game recovering from a hard workout. Make sure when you lift it is a couple days before a game so you have time to recover. Nothing is the worst than having your jumpshot fall a foot short evertime because your arms or back is tired from overtraining!

It depends on how into the game you are. If you're really serious about playing, all this may be right for you. It is for me. I spend my whole summers doing this:\n\nRunning will help get you ready but is not that important. If you are trying out for a team & your coach is making you run, run that amount (or more) every couple days up to tryouts. \nYou also should go to vb camps or something to freshen your skills before season. If you can't attend a camp, you can practice with someone outside, set/ pass against a wall, and stuff like that. \nAlso, work on your jumping ablilities. If you have a wall, do 100 block jumps a day (or every other). \nYou can also jump rope for 30 min each day (every other is fine too).\nYou could also do situps and pushups every other day too.\nYou can do wall-sits every day to help condition your legs.\n\nMAKE SURE YOU DRINK A LOT OF WATER!!!!! You don't want to get dehydrated (I did that and I regret not drinking enough- I got shin-splints).

I'm in the same position right now but i'm about ready, I've been doing interval sprints...thats were you sprint as far as you can then slow down till you catch your breath and your heart rate slows a little then repeat. Tons of jump shots, tons of lay-ups, and do plenty of ball handling drills. Also jumping lots of rope helps in getting your hops back. I've been doing this for about three months now while watching what I eat and I've dropped 22 lbs . I do alot of working out at the gym too but most of the running stuff you can just do at home.

resistance training, with some kind of weight or your body's own weight.

I'm not from NY but you should try asking around local gymnasiums and contact the local chapter off AAU (Amatuer Athletic League).  They will point you in the right direction.\n\nAlso, instead of looking closest to your house....look for quality coaching with  emphasis on sportsmanship, academic responsibility, and fundamental basketball skills.

for footballers, I would say an off-season diet would consist of focussing on protein mainly and not forget the fruits and veggies, since we lose lots of weight during the intense season.  I would recommend this for the thinner players who need that extra weight when going 1 on 1 with against that tight defense.  \nAn in-season diet would be a lean diet; making sure you store carbs after matches and eating white meat mainly to digest a little quicker than red meat.  Fruits and vegetables are necessary year round.  I wouldnt recommend fried foods or deli sandwiches(except for a lite snack) since they dont help your body at all.  Foods that contain high fiber should be eaten as a lite snack way before a training session/match or by consuming them at night.  High fiber snacks dont give you energy during intense moments, they do however digest very slowly and may keep your stomach full.\nLet me know if you need anything else.

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

he means that you should put mor effort in it. Maybe you should sign up in a summer league to get your game up. He probably sees alot of potential in you. Good luck with basketball

Try to anticipate what might be needed for practice sessions.  Listen to what the coaching staff asks you to get for them.  Always tote the basketballs for away games - that's the one item that players hate to carry.  Make sure the first-aid kit is always restocked after every game - your athletic director is the one to notify when you need more band-aids, athletic tape, safety gloves, and those chemical ice bags.  (YOU do this instead of the coach's - they already have enough on their minds having to deal with the players.   The coaching staff will appreciate it GREATLY.)   If your team's players are allowed to carry their own uniforms and shoes to away games, MAKE CERTAIN that everyone has packed what they need - uniform top, uniform shorts, warm-ups (pants and jersey), socks and shoes.  You may not be responsible for that - but you WILL get some of the blame.

Lots of things. Jump training, speed training, ball handling, and shooting. Run laps, Air Alert (you can find it online), dribble in your free time, and shoot hoops also.
