Basketball Tryouts

So your kiddo has tryouts coming up in a few weeks and you’re not sure how to help. Well, I’m here for you as long as you keep reading.

If your mini-me is a straight-up baller, then you’ll be okay skimming the rest of this masterpiece. But if ole’ junior doesn’t know right from left and can’t hit the side of a gate, then you may want to pay attention. Here is a step by step guide to make the coaches running the tryouts notice your baby.

1. Tell your mini-me to hustle the entire tryout. If they give the kids a water break, hustle to the water. If they have to run the bleachers, try to finish first. Any running drills, try to be first and or run as hard as humanly possible. HUSTLE, HUSTLE. and then more HUSTLE.

2. Learn how to use their left hand. The other left. This is true for layups and dribbling mostly. They do need to be able to pass with their left hand, but that’ll come later.

3. This is the last one for today(this a blog, not a novel). Make sure your kiddo has decent form on their jump-shot. Form shooting helps a bunch with this. If little Johnny throws the ball at the rim with two hands behind his head with one eye open, then you should definitely Google “form shooting” and head out to the nearest gate and fix that jump-shot.

Thanks for checking out my blog and good luck to little Susie at tryouts!
