    Just work on your fundamentals. Do some dribbling skills, work on your jump shot. I don't know your size, but if you are a bigger kid do some moves down low. Up and unders, hook shots, work on your rebounding ability. If you are a guard work on ballhandling and jumpshot primarily. If you are really motivated run some sprints and do some plyos to improve your quicks and you hops. Hope this helps.

    Always Show Up For Practice. Give It Your Best. Pay Attention To The Coach And What He Has To Say. Try Your Best. Be Active. Take Advice. Improve.

    you're not gonna get better just by dribbling, and shooting around in your driveway or near by park. you need to join a team. join a park league over the summer. or join the YMCA basketball team. do you go to church.? some church have basketball leagues of their own. you need an actual coach and real experience on a team.

    i play high school girls basketball.

    goodluck[:

    buy the better basketball dvd and watch and learn. If you can pick up 1/2 of that stuuf you WILL make the team. If your not athletic be SMART in what you do and that will make up for it in the game GOOD LUCK

    What I did is go out there prepare to learn and you can always ask the coach for help any normal coach would be more than glad to help. Also you never ever give up.
