Answer 1

Just practice dribbling and a little bit of shooting. Some layups will help. I have gotten advice from college coaches on how to really stand out (in a good way) at tryouts. You have to hustle. You will be doing a lot of running, so try to beat the other girls and show that you really want a spot on that team. 2: Never show that you are upset after failing. Coaches love to see kids on their worst days just to see how they react to it. If you miss shots, keep shooting. It shows confidence and coaches take notice of that. 3: Be a good sport and dont complain. If coach is gonna make you run a little more, then you be the first to the line. Just show that you want to be there and that you would do anything to be on the team.

Running around your block, and just living with a basketball in your hand will help you be a better basketball player, but it is extremely hard to make a team on your 1st year playing, because you are against kids that have been playing for 5-6 years depending on the age. Never give up though and always keep going after that team, the coaches will take notice.

Answer 2

Your ID says everything about you.

If you know you are going to be humiliated in front of your friends and everyone else, why even go out ? Having a negative attitude manifests a self-fulfilled prophecy. You will get what you thought. Why don't you go out with the attitude that it will be a learning experience for you. Do your best (100%) at every drill and exercise. When it's all over, you will know how many areas you need to focus on. Then go to work. Get instruction. Learn and practice fundamentals. You could surprise a lot of people next year if you don't make it now.

Answer 3

Go to Conditioning. Show that you want to be there. Start lifting weights. Work out. Practice. Its not much you can do. If you show you want to be there, and work hard. Be there every day. Don't give up. The coach is either a) going to feal like crap for cutting you or b) Keep you as an example to the slackers. Just give it your all. Plus it is highschool basketball. And Im sure you can make the team.

Answer 4

first find a gym where there's a basketball court and weight facilities. then you want to schedule what drills or practice you want to do or if your not playing you can lift weights for strength so you wont get injured plus it can make you stronger on the court. strength training is very important for basketball so find somebody who can assist you with what you need to do. a lot of people dont want to strength train because they think it'll only make them slow and big but the truth is it will only enhance your skills on the court. do this search on "strength training for basketball" and it'll tell you some basic stuff about it.

Answer 5

Pasta is nice, anything with a lot of protein and carbohydrates. Always get well hyrdated the night before the game/tryout.

Answer 6

well i have had years of basketball and to make the tryouts just practice as much as you can and if your not that good noboy will laugh at you everyones bad at something when they first try it, when i did i look liked a spaz, and even if u dont make it ust keep practicing and theres always next year.

Answer 7

hit the gym, practice playing basketball with people who know how to play, and if you do get humiliated tell the people to get a life and stop judging you.

Answer 8

Go to the playground and shoot hoops for an hour each day. What you need now is to practice some basic skills....you will have a better chance to make the team by doing this.

Answer 9

tell everybody ur very good and they will be scared of you and put the black stuff thing under ur eyes that football players wear to scare them off and wear a helmet too just for dramatic effect
