If you’re a student interested in playing basketball, you can choose a school that has a team. Although making the squad may seem impossible at first, there are several things you can do to improve your chances of making the team before trying out.
Do your best to set yourself out from the other hopefuls at the tryout. Learn to distinguish yourself in a good way.
You can count on the vast majority of auditionees to play at a snail’s pace, to exhibit horrible body language, to over-dribble the ball, and to jack up awful shots (in an apparent attempt to “get theirs”). Consequently, refrain from doing those things.
11 Tips for “Make The Basketball Team”
You may set yourself apart from the rest of the pack in eleven key ways, as outlined here.
1) Raise your voice and show more energy than anyone else in the gym. Exude positive energy.
2) Two, hurry up! Get in front of the pack for every practise. Seek to triumph in each sprint. Move at the speed of the game.
3) Go the distance. Help others while everyone else is looking out for number one.
4) Map out each play and practise session in advance.
5) Look the coach in the eye when they are talking.
6) Scoop up loose balls and charge the opposing team. Teams benefit from having a player who can perform both of those things.
7) Work well with others. Never forget that “us” are more important than “me.”
8) Eight, come in early, and stay late to put in extra hours. The phrase “waiting and preparing” refers to two different states of mind.
9) The ninth tip is to be aware of your capabilities and limitations. Avoid taking threes unless you are confident in your ability to make them. Do what you can to put the spotlight on your own strengths.
10) Talk to your trainer. Find out from the coach what you need to do to EARN a spot on the team if you are unsure. The word “EARN” is crucial.
11) If you mess up, forget about it and concentrate on the next play. You can only control your effort and your attitude, so focus on them.

Not everyone is LeBron or Kobe, so it may be a really tough endeavour, especially if you reside in a big city or attend a prominent school.
