Freshman Basketball tryouts?
sounds like your not a basketball guy but the height does not matter its on what you know the game and how to play it... if you do not know how to play it then you need to get trained and tryout next year... but anyways... coaches mostly tells you to do lots of running and they look for people who hustle like diving for loose balls especially the big man. they also look for guys who still seem confident after a missed jump shot. When you are being guarded dont worry bout the defender. players will cut to the basket so pass it or shoot it but do not travel with it. Dont just run around the court... when you play basketball just find your comfortable jump shot or stay in the post because it is in your favor with your height. You want to screen when your teammate is just standing in a spot or when they are about to make a move because then the defender will get stuck in your screen giving your man the open shot. hope this helped
Should I tryout for the girls basketball team?
I'm a ninth grader, and I want to tryout for the JV girls basketball team at my high school. But I have a few problems. First, I'm slightly over-weight and probably way too self conscience about it. I did lose weight over the summer (50lbs) on the Lean Cuisine diet, well that and cutting out soft drinks. But I need to lose another 15-20lbs to be healthy. Second, last year my best friend suggested we tryout for softball. I was against it but did it anyway because she was too scared to do it by herself. She made the team, I didn't. Of course I felt bad. So I am a little terrified of embarrassing myself (This is not the only reason I feel like I would embarrass myself, I have been teased about my height and weight my entire life.) Third, I have never actually played the game before. And these other girls... Well they've all played for at least three years! I just don't think I'll be able to keep up. And I am not sure about how dangerous it is. I have watched my fair share of basketball games and some of those players can be brutal. I just don't really know whats best to do. Tryouts are two months away so of course I have plenty of time to think about it, but I need someones opinion. My parents, stepparents, friends, other family members, they are too biased to actually give me good advice and I can't talk to the guidance counselor face to face (self esteem issues) and well I NEED someones help. Thank you for listening to me ramble on about the trials and tribulations of my teenage life- Caren.
Freshman Basketball Tryouts?
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/av1f7 Man...Freshman tryouts were, for me, about five years ago. I was scared, too. I'll go over the first day: Get in at 8 AM in the morning on the first Saturday. Every boy wanting to tryout for any boy's team had to show up. So we had about 80 boys for three teams in one gym. We stretched for about ten minutes. Then, we ran. Everyone got in 16 lines, so five people in each, and we ran suicides for over an hour. Then, we did lay up lines. Followed by jumpshots. Followed by defensive slides. Followed by one on one. Followed by suicides. Then, if you were selected by the coaches, you'd stay for a couple scrimmages. They told about fifty kids to leave and come back Monday after school. Thirty of us stayed and we scrimmaged til one. Basically...I was tired. Lots and lots of running. They didn't actually care about anyone's basketball skills that day. All they cared about was seeing if you could handle the running. BTW...on the following Monday, 40 kids showed up to the tryouts. The team's were pretty much set. EDIT: You go into any tryout with the attitude that you are the team, the coach will expect a player to knock your *** out for one on one. If a kid is on the line to make a team and you start showboating, he'll take up the role of goon and knock your head off. So do not enter all cocky. Play hard and hustle.
Basketball tryouts for JV?
First off you need to learn to separate speed and quickness they are two different things and have to be trained differently. Suicides will help you with basketball endurance but will not improve your speed unless you are a beginner who has never done any type of physical training or are badly out of shape. Intervals of sprints will help you increase your speed but it may not translate into basketball speed. This is not football or track and field, a basketball court in not 100 yards or 100 meters long. You need to work on being able to get up to full speed in 3 steps. Players with good speed, stride length and footwork should be able to get from the hash at 28 feet to the basket for a lay-up or dunk in one dribble and from baseline to baseline in 5 dribbles. Players with Elite speed should be able to get from half court to the basket for a dunk or lay-up in one dribble and from baseline to baseline in 4 dribbles or less. Falling starts push-up sprints, linear and lateral reaction sprint progressions, swing through single dribble drills from the right and left wing, Full court 4 shot 4 pass point guard drill progressions will all work either basketball functional speed or quickness. Looking at some of these answers... If you guys can't answer the kids question correctly don't answer the question. http://www.program51.com
HIGHSCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL TRYOUTS!?
First of all, basketball shoes doesn't matter especially if your mom doesn't like to buy you. NOT A PROBLEM, you actually have the advantage when you use running shoes because while you do the tryouts your footwork will be quicker and better because its light and your foot can move freely. That is exactly what happened to me, last month, and now I have tryouts. Wear long socks, ankle brace which is a good support (its actually good) , basketball shorts(do not wear running shorts it looks like your not playing basketball) Keep on running in tryouts, do not stop, while the coach is talking do not look anywhere else but look on his/her eyes. try practicing your ball handling..always remember shooting the is the last thing,,defense is the most important!! BTW....your name is ondraya,,are u the one who's in the Trinity western basketball camp?
Jv girls basketball team?
basketball tryouts started two weeks ago. im a freshmen so i tried out for the freshmen team. i made the team and the coach is the best coach i have ever had. but then we find out jv and varsity are running low on numbers so they bump up some people from jv to varsity and then they decide to bump up some freshmen to jv. my friend carly got bumped up right away. then my two other friends got bumped up a week and a half ago. now the other day my coach tells me i have to move up, i asked if i really had to and he said yes. so i dont even have a choice. i really hate jv, i go from being the best on freshmen to the worst on jv. the coach on jv is a jack. as.s too. plus i dont have any friends really on this team and im not having fun at all. today is going to be my 2nd practice. and its not even an honor that i got moved up because they only moved me up cause they needed numbers. so what should i do? should i stick it out, or should i ask to get moved back down?
Should you tryout for the freshman basketball high school team, to have a higher chance to go to a division 1 college?
You're putting the cart way ahead of the horse.Look, try out for the freshman team if you want to play basketball now.But not everyone that makes the freshman team goes on to play JV.Not every one that makes that JV team goes on to play varsity.And only a sliver of high school players go on to play D1 basketball. Most high school teams don't have a single player that will play in college.There are about 350 D1 teams, each taking on 4–5 new players each year. Though it's not quite as simple as “all the best players play D1”, you basically need to be one of the top 2,000 players for your respective gender and graduating class to make a D1 team. (See: Nature vs Nurture: The Odds of Playing College Basketball.)Essentially, you need to be in the top 1% of players to make a D1 team. Most players that do it put in 2+ hours of training every day in high school, and tend to already be very, very good before entering. And tall. Tall helps.(You can certainly attend a D1 college without playing basketball, but something makes me think that's not what you're asking about.)Playing for a freshman team might help you get that good. But getting that good is an incredibly difficult goal, one most players won't reach.Try out for your freshman team if you want to play. It's one of many great activities to be involved with!But know that there's much, much more that goes into making a D1 team.
Should I tryout for JV or Varsity Basketball?
Your friends would want Lebron James to play for their JV squad too. The only way I would consider playing JV over varsity is playing time, but even then you're cheating yourself. Really, in my opinion, you're cheating the JV league as well. That's like how the NBA made this “one year out” rule, you see Anthony Davis straight up take tournaments over. Or when a player takes a pay cut to play with another elite player, it's not really fair. Tell your friends if they want to play with you, all they have to do is up their game, hit the weight room, hit them sprints, hit them jumpers, but if and when they do come to varsity to play with you, don't come in with all that sissy “let's all play with each other” attitude, and making you feel bad because you're better. The court is the battle field. There is no time to be holding hands and singing songs.Wow. That went a little dramatic fast. For real though, tell them sissy punks to put their big girl panties on. Basketball isn't a game; its life. The only people that your loyal to are on the court or the bench with you. In the trenches. Lace up. Go to work.
A freshman on varsity basketball.?
when i was a freshmen in high school i played both i was the star of the jv team then after the game i wouldnt change and just stay on tthe locker room and wait for the varsity team then i would go sit the bench on the varsity team i dont know if ur school will allow that but it was pretty fun to me really depends on the person - like me i needed to be the star of the JV team to get my confidence up - like if i had just been thrown in to the varsity as a freshman i think i may have broken down because of sitting the bench and may never have became a good player
If I am cut from my basketball tryout should I quit or keep playing?
Keep playing. That will always be my answer. If you lose your legs in a war, join the wheelchair league. Don't ever stop. I saw a guy on YouTube shooting free-throws better than Andre Drummond with no hands. I'll tell you this though:It's possible the coach and/or team feel they cannot utilize you, ask the varsity coach what he needs from you in order to play ball there. Then work on that.It's possible the coach isn't seeing your potential or has a bias against you. I hate to say it, but at that level it's possible your coach doesn't know what he is talking about. I'm laughing as I write that because the coach is the general and always right, but I have seen it happen more than a few times, guys that end up playing ball at huge universities (maybe not D1) make their basketball team for 1 year and not even play.That being said, have you joined any other leagues? I've witnessed in AAU, MYAB, so on, highschool basketball coaches begging the good players to play for their own highschool team. Most recruiters, scouts, etc. go to those leagues more than academic ones. Of course if your dream is to play for school and contribute to that team, you may think this won't help. But you're wrong, this will provide you with a lots of experience.Instead of asking “should I quit?” Ask “how can I keep going?”You heard the stories. Michael Jordan got cut. Sam Bowie was drafted before him. You've never even heard of Earl “The Goat” Manigault. Failure is the best motivator. Who cares anyway? Screw the coach and all them sissies on that team! Get your big girl panties on. Play ball! How are you even on this website? How can you type with a basketball in your hand??? Get out there. Dribble, shoot, pass, rebound. Go, now. That's a pep talk.
