i been playing for fun and some friends said for only having one hand that I'm pretty good and suggested i should try out but I'm afraid what they are going to say

what do you think

i love basketball sense i was 10 what do you think ?

Answer 1

I know a guy who was an All-County soccer and basketball player who has only one hand because of a birth defect.  He used the end of his arm to steady the ball.

Show determination and spunk as you play.  Show that you can make layups from either side with your good hand.  Show that you can change directions dribbling, as well as pass accurately.

Answer 2

You've got nothing to lose by trying.

Tell the coach what you just told us and he should give you a try out.

If you have skills & heart, you WILL make the team. Good luck!

If you don't make the team, can you play in the league at the YMCA or at your church?
