The Best Way To Get Cut From Your Basketball Team

[@saltsalted1528]

im not a basketball player, but i have huge respect for those who do play basketball. The competitiveness for basketball and soccer tryouts are insane.

I’m trying out for the 8th grade basketball team this year I started playing basketball in spring of 2022 and have not made the team for 2 straight years. I joined a rec team this past winter and averaged 12 pts a game and won the championship. I’ve been watching your videos for about 9-10 months now. You’ve helped me become more confident. Hopefully I make my school team this year. Thank you.

[@road2league]

i have a older brother which is very very successful in his hobby and he is only 1 year older than me. hes always made me his shadow and i never got the chance to be in the spotlight. this is my year. i work rlly hard and i havent seen any results yet. thank you for this video ❤

[@TuckerRichardson]

Let's go, that is a great mentality. And it is cool you have someone to compete with as well as motivate you!

[@Rtueii]

For me it was the Same. I live overseas, so it's not the Same with tryouts, and getting cut and senior year,etc. but basically I got cut from a Team last year, and now I am playing in this team, and a better Team at the Same time. I just worked really hard and much last year, and even tho I made many mistakes, and did unnecessary things, I still got so much better. I didn't notice this until the off season started, and they told me that I could play in both teams. It will take its time, but if you stay consistent, you will get better, and eventually your dreams will come true. Wish you the best🏀

[@road2league]

@@Rtueii thank you. I'll remember this!

[@jiahe4590]

[@TuckerRichardson]

@@Rtueii thanks for sharing. I think it is important to remember for younger players that a year is soooo much time to make big improvements in your game. And your body is changing, your mind is changing, basically there is a ton of room for growth if you are willing to put in the work.

[@Mzn_is_]

I’ve been cut the past 2 years due to my inexperience and recent exposure to basketball. This year I’ve finally started to get good but hilariously this year there are basically zero varsity spots. It’s used to be 2 but we had another transfer and one of my boys is already on the varsity practice squad. Ima tryout regardless but I know the reality but I won’t be disappointed about it.

You still never know! Maybe the coach can make an extra spot if you really prove yourself this year, so give it your all…

[@jicalzad]

I’d add also suggest trying to be the best defender & rebounder because those seem to be underrated skills by a lot of kids, but not coaches, especially if you’re not a great shooter.

[@TuckerRichardson]

For sure, that usually just takes effort and coaches are always looking for high effort kids. And effort is always in your control while scoring and shooting aren’t.

[@chioma3725]

How was it?

[@Shingo_Aoi]

I'm Italian and for me it's an interesting video because here (and I think in most of Europe) we instaed don't have tryouts in high school. Basically everybody can find a team, the selection happens only for high level teams (like the youth sector of a professional team). So what happens when somebody gets cut from a tryout? Can he still somehow keep playing in that year?

[@TuckerRichardson]

Yeah in Europe it is more run by clubs instead of high school sports if I am not mistaken. If you get cut, there aren't many other options. You could play for a rec team, which is basically a low stakes league that is just for fun. Or you could spend that time trying to get better and go out for the team again the next year.

[@Shingo_Aoi]

@@TuckerRichardson thanks for the answer. I think US system puts high school players in a competitive and tougher situation sooner. There are pros and cons in my opinion

[@TuckerRichardson]

Probably true, although I think the way European clubs develop skills and basketball IQ is much better than in the US where there is more of a focus on completion and games. So you are right, pros and cons.

[@RaleighKindsfater]

I'm a freshman in the biggest high school in MT (510 kids in the freshman class) and Im coming from a very small private middle school where none of the coaches or players know me. If i were to guess, id say I have a 35-45% chance of making the team, because i think there will be 2 freshman teams.

[@TuckerRichardson]

Really gonna need to find away to stand out, but I think it is definitely possible. Good luck!

[@kayla-yf4sm]

My tryouts are right after conditioning, I've been to every conditioning, but I haven't done so well in them except the running being loud and motivating players and hustling. Every day I go to conditioning I mess up and try to do better the next time. I practice every day and hit the gym 2-3 times a week. Any tips? (12 people make the team and 30-35 people are trying out)

Yeah, don't worry about the makes or misses. Especially at tryouts, you don't have enough time to worry about if your last shot went in or not, you just have to move on to the next play. So no matter how you are shooting, continue to stay aggressive because if you don't, you are wasting your time at tryouts.

[@TuckerRichardson]

I’ve made a bunch of videos about confidence issues, so check those out. But I would say keeping it in perspective, realize no one is really worried about you except yourself. When you miss a shot or make a mistake and make a big deal out of it, you are just doing yourself a disservice because no one else really cares. So move on from mistakes and keep an aggressive mentality no matter the result of a play!

[@bloob1223]

yo should i try be more of onball scorer instead of a offball scorer in my league im 15

[@TuckerRichardson]

Well it depends on your role and the level of your team. In most cases, if you want to play in college you are going to have to be a high level scorer in high school, so in that case you would be an on the ball guy.

Hmmm. That is tough. You get to decide which tryouts you go to? It is hard for me to advise you because I don’t know the type of player you are or the level of your team.

My brother has interest from Lehigh and American University and is playing this upcoming year at a post grad called AIA prep. I wanted to know if you have advice. If you want to watch his highlights his youtube channel is called Isaac Dye. Thank you and I love your videos.

Very cool he is getting D1 interest! Sounds like he doesn’t need my advice, he is doing something right. I would say for him to be very respectful when talking to the coaches, but also ask a ton of questions about the school to show your interest. Coaches aren’t just looking at who you are as a player, they also want to know if you are a good person!

[@stero.c.n.d9662]

you don't really need to be good at basketball in my school you just need good grades its so stupid

[@lancastergerard]

If you’re not a first or second scoring option kind of player, you’d better be a try hard or taller than 6’6”. Old heads are coaching, not your snowflake friends.

[@TuckerRichardson]

I think I see what you are saying. Basically if you aren’t gonna score, you gotta be really good at doing all the little things, like a dirty work kind of player. I pretty much agree, you have to bring some value to the table.
