basketball tryouts. NINE DAYS!!


Question Posted Saturday November 3 2007, 11:04 am

I have basketball tryouts in 9 days. what should i train in? ive done basketball most of my life (summer camps, rec, travel.. since i was 8) and im kinda good at far away shots I guess but as suprising as it is, im bad at lay ups and close shots. how can i get better? im not the best player but i have lots of determination and im not afraid to get agressive, which i guess has helped me since i don't have the best like, skills I think. i'm trying out for the A team since im in 8th grade and i cant make the B team since the B team is only 7th graders while the 7th graders can also make the A team. i didnt try out when i was in 7th cause i wanted to be in a diff club at the same time. i'll do that if i dont make bball but i really want to focus on making the team now. i guess i slacked off and i eat halloween candy regularly but how can i get off that habit for like a full chance to get in shape? i havent really been doing any sports (well gym doesnt count in school) since summer so i guess im kinda outta shape. what can i do to help me get better at bball in well.. 9 days? like what skills should i focus on and HOW should I? cause we dont have a bball court or hoop at my house so i practice in school in gym sometimes. or should i just run outside? so thanks for helping, it means A LOT to me and well i'll keep ya posted if i make the team too! :)))))

P.S. there are like 19 8th graders trying out and about 20-something 7th graders trying out. and like 22 people are on each team I believe.. something like that. -nervous-

i play basketball too. condition alot it helps..like running and crunches and push ups. but definitley running. practice the things you arent good at..adn when tryouts come along try to show all of your strong points and not do alot of of layups or those things your not too good at. just give it all youve got.
