Sports help!?

Question

I'm just starting basketball this year. I feel the need to improve grately to catch up with my other team mates. How can I improve if there is no basketball court or gym near my house?

Answer 1

First, you could just get a basketball and work on dribbling skills most of the time. So, you could be a better ball handler than anyone on your team and that could earn you a starting point guard spot. Also, start practicinggetting a good shooting form and then getting better at that at practices.

You should though try and get to some courts so you can get better at all your skills.

Answer 2

If you don't have a hoop where you live, there are still lots of things you can do with or without a ball in your driveway/sidewalk/backyard.

Shooting is only a small part of the game, practice dribbling with both hands, practice chest and bounce passes to yourself against a wall, work on your conditioning, etc.

Work on the fundamentals of the game if you can't practice your shot, you'll be surprised how much better they alone will make you.

Answer 3

handle a ball wherever you go, if you have a road just go dribble up and down it for a while, that will help your handles. Lay on your bed and just work on keepin your elbow in and just get that shooting stroke down, it will help when u get on a real goal. Finally jump rope or do some sort of calistenics to get your feet coordinated and get some hops. That will help you on D

Answer 4

buy a hoop, n pactice ur shots in ur driveway, but 4 the time bein practice dribbling n crossovers

Answer 5

imho shooting is overrated. most players get fame because they score. well what about defense and ball handling. huh? that's what matters not shooting
