I agree with the previous post but I would stress even more the endurance part. Run, everyday, run more, run run run.
it being the Junior varsity if you can demonstrate basic skill and have endurance you will look good, just practice a little with basic ball control enough to not look clumsy and run your butt off.

when tryouts start and the coach makes you run, lead the pack so that he/she notices you.

thank you :)
