Answer 2

At the freshman level most guys have definable tendencies.Watch the ones that you are worried about play as much as you can and see what they are strong or weak in. Some have no left hand dribble, some let the ball bounce too high when they try to change directions or cross over.A guy with no left hand dribble you play against his right hand strength and cut him off to force him into his weak hand where you have a better chance to steal the ball or make him pick up the dribble early and have to give the ball up.The ones that get the ball too high above the waist are easy to disrupt the dribble and force a turnover.
Most of all stay between him and the goal,keep your feet moving,head up, hands out and your body low. Remember a good coach values desire and effort even if you get beat sometimes so never give up and don't be shy about complementing a player that makes a good move or play. That shows the coach that you can be a team player and makes that player want you on his team.

Answer 4

Practice your free throws all day every day. 100 shots a day and watch your average improve. This is the most important thing in ur tryouts and it will be noticed.

Answer 5

Practice until then. See if you can get someone to practice with you and give you pointers about your game. When tryouts come, just do your best. That's all you can do. Good luck!

Answer 6

act smart, play your heart out, and hustle. even if you are not that good and the coach sees you hustle on the court he might put u on team and pass on some other guys cuz he would know that you are not going to give up on a play.

Answer 7
