Highschool basket ball tips?

get penetration and cover the Tight End...

If you have access to a gym then I suggest doing your workouts in there. First things first, work on the basics. Practice dribbling with one hand and then switch to the other. After that, dribble two balls up and down the court for at least 5 minutes. Once your done with dribbling drills, then work on moves based on your position. If you're a point guard, shooting guard, or small foward, then work on your jump shot and passing the ball. You'll need to learn how expand your vision as a point guard since you are directing traffic. If you're a power foward or a center, work on rebounding the ball and post moves. For these lessons, I suggest looking at youtube videos based on your position here are a few videos.

I use these videos to help me (I play power foward so I look up drills based on my position) Also practice your defense. When you defend your arms need to be stretched out and you need to sit like you're sitting in a chair. Also shoot 100 jumpshots if you can a day. MAKE THE COMMITMENT. Especially when this is your first time playing basketball. Also look up videos on how to shoot a basketball. You will need to do a lot of homework over the summer. Also attend summer camps if the high school offers it. You will need to experience how the game works and play in games. Also get to know the coaches, that will help you tremendously.

As for tryouts, don't be afraid to show your talent. Also don't be selfish with the ball. I say when you get the ball, try to at least score when you can. The coaches will also hold drill sessions during tryouts. So this is where practicing drills makes a difference. Also before tryouts make sure you know what the coaches are looking for in a player from the position you play. GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!

1) Make sure you are in good shape for tryouts. Make sure your stretch before all conditioning.

2) Grab a basketball book or two to learn about techniques.

3) Playing pick up at your local gym.

4) Watching basketball games on tv or online. (learning by example)

5) If you make the team you will pick up on things if your coach is worth anything.

6) Go to local basketball camps and clinic!!

Make sure the coaches recognize u when trying out. Just practice the basic fundamentals. Go search some youtube videos. Good Luck!
