Re: BTZ (Basketball Training Zone)

This is a really great idea. I need some drills for passing that I can work on by myself. I have a warm-up drill for shooting. Start shooting about 30 minutes before you have a game and just shoot from the same spot, over and over again. You should probably get your touch and you won't lose it quickly. It's best used if you shoot from 3.

Re: Who are the top 3 smartest players in the NBA?

Shane Battier is by far the smartest NBA player. I agree with adanny, Tony Parker is pretty smart. I would probably place Kevin Garnett last because of his experience.

Re: good snacks for before basketball games

Eat things with potassium in them because potassium helps prevent cramps. Before you go to a game eat mashed potatoes (pota- = potassium), or potato salad. Also, bananas are the largest source of potassium in a fruit, so eat bananas. Don't forget that banana shakes are really good. Also, all the professional basketball players drink banana shake and protein shakes before and after games. try to get some sort of a thermos if you want to bring some mashed potatoes to eat.

Re: AAU?

guest — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 12:22:29 GMT

The AAU (or Amateur Athletic Union) is an organization that sponsors amateur sporting events.The sports sponsored are: Athletics/Track and Field, Baseball, Basketball, Diving, Football, Gymnastics, Hockey, Martial Arts, Swimming, Trampoline/Tumbling, Volleyball, and Wrestling. In basketball, they sponsor spring, summer, and fall tournaments in multiple age groups. The age brackets are usually 19 and Under, 17 and Under, 15 and Under, and so on (except for the National Championship, which is every age group). It is possible to play up an age group (so if you are 15 you can play with the 17 year olds), but can not play down an age group ( so if your 15 you cant play with the 13 year olds). The tournaments are usually during "live" collge recruiting periods, so college recruiters heavily attend them. If you can find an AAU basketball team in your area, and it is an appropriate age group, it would be well worth your effort to try out for the program. But be careful and train a lot before you try out because it is extremely hard to make it on a top level team.

Re: High School Tryouts

guest — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 14:22:42 GMT

this is a drill i saw somewhere to improve your jump shot

first, shoot 5 feet away from the rim and keep shooting until you make a swish, no rim or backboard

then, take a step back and keep shooting until you swish it

repeat this process until you get to the three point line

then, wait a few hours and shoot from the same spot on the three point line

you have to make 6 out of 10, rim, backboard, whatever

it really works!

Well, first of all, how high can you jump? Can you touch the rim yet?

If you answered YES:

BUY ANKLE WEIGHTS. Find the largest amount of pounds you can
