How to MAKE the Varsity Basketball Team (4 ELITE TIPS/ADVICE)

[@bentschida4957]

As a varsity starter as a sophomore I would say just put in work during the off-season. I averaged 3 a game on JV the year before and I grinded 4-5 hours 6 days a week. Also show coaches that you want it and ur willing to work on defense

[@jqbasketballtraining]

Working hard is key!

[@jio15]

I’m going to be a freshman and I’m trying to make varsity but I honestly need to work more on my shot. I think I’m a really good dribbler and I just need to improve my speed

[@mere8593]

@@jio15 being honest unless your showing out fr the chances are low to make varsity, but keep working it’s always possible

Playmaking and defense (passing and defense in general)

[@BlaiseProduction]

Show of your defensive and playmaking skills. Get smart assist. Get block, steals, and intimidate the person your defending

[@hiitsmorgan5431]

Playmaking, good defense, making smart plays, hustle, good body language, communicate on defense, desire to wim

I am starting my sophomore year this year. and everyone says "I got the handles" and my handles are good. i am really thinking about trying out for varsity basketball this year as a sophomore. But idk why I am very nervous about not making the team, i always feel like im not that good, idk why. Do you guys got any tips for me? btw I'm 5'7 and 110 pounds. (yea ik im really skinny)

[@DiscipleofJesusFr]

keep working bro, train and be consistent with it. Doesn’t have to be long, eat, watch college film, watch drills, get good sleep, and Trust Jesus ✝️🤞🏾

[@Stark36164]

Just be as confident as possible, half of basketball is mental, don't overthink it, breathing exercises with a pregame workout really help!

[@rippleoxes328]

@@Stark36164 hey thanks but even if i do breathing exercises im like hella nervous

[@Stark36164]

@rippleoxes328 Ik, I'm a sophomore too,and everytime I used to play I would freeze, and mess up the whole play, but I was really good at 1v1s, so I started to imagine I'm playing in a 1v1 or 1v2 or 3 or whatever, and then once I got used to it, until it just felt like second nature, so find something that you are good at, and apply it to the game, also a good handle drill is closing your eyes, and listening to music while dribbling to the beat, the more you lose it, the more you learning.

[@xtrl.tensai]

I appreciate it I’m class of 2027 I’m gonna try to make varsity but I’m probably not gonna but my main goal is to not be on C team

[@rippleoxes328]

Hey there. There is no C team in high school. its just Freshman, Junior Varsity, and Varsity.
