Do you think that I would be able to join The basketball team?

Question

I am 5'8", 15 and going into Sophmore Year, I am going to be new in the school and I don't know if i will make the team because how short I am, though I can jump pretty high, I am about 4-5 inches off from 10 foot rim. Also I am a good 3 point shooter and mid range shooter, I can even do great layups, but i am worried I am still too short and will not make the team. (I am trying to get a scholarship for college). Do you think I will be able to make the team?

Answer 1

You'll never know it unless you try. Go to summer workouts if your school has them, play pickup, work with people that know what they're doing. Just try out, you've got nothing to lose.

Answer 2

You can even do great layups. Ha ha...Good for you.

Depends on how big your high school is. Depends on if you're trying out for JV or varsity. At your height, it depends on your dribbling abilities. If their good, you could be a backup at guard likely enough.

Don't count on getting a basketball scholarship though. Don't give up on it, but don't count on it either.

Answer 3

yeah you'll make the team. they pick a team by how good you play not by how tall you are. So if you're good you'll make, and if you are good at Dribbling you'll make a good gaurd.

Good luck making the team.

Answer 4

Yah, be cool, i am like the shortest guy on my team, 5-0

anyone can do it just beleive in yourself!!!!!!!!!!!
