An easy way to relate the quadratic formula and basketball?
I have to make a video teaching my peers how to use the quadratic formula. I really want to make the video relating to basketball, but I'm not sure how to do that without getting them confused. Is there an easy way to apply basketball to using the quadratic formula?|||I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but here's a start. You can look at the arc made by the ball to the basket. A quadratic equation models this.
How do I start a youths basketball team?
I'm 15 and have recently been playing basketball. There are no teams around my area, how could I start a team to play in?|||Josh...I can tell you one good place to start...Contact the sports department of your local newspaper and tell them you are interested in starting a team, and ask if they can help you out by putting a bulletin in the paper...They will know what questions to ask you (contact info, etc), and small town papers are especially helpful with youth sports (I used to be a sports writer for a small city daily paper)...Good luck!
What should I do today if basketball tryouts are tomorrow?
Basketball tryouts start tomorrow at my school and they will last for 2 weeks, the 1st week being th elimination of the lesser players. I have been practicing the fundamentals for about a little more than 1 month. Anyway, I was just wondering what should I be doing today besides practicing everything I know today (what to eat, mentality, etc.) . Also, can you guys give me any tips/suggestions for making it to the team?|||I would say don't stress yourself out today by practicing too much. Eat regular foods like normal except in the evening try to not eat very heavy foods. Morning and Afternoon foods can pretty much be what ever you would like because until dinner or bed time you will have plenty of time to burn the calories. The way to make the basket ball team or any thing you want to join is go in and enjoy yourself, know that you can do it, Don't think that you will fail think that you will succeed, don't stress yourself out tonight or all day tomorrow on whether you will make it or not! YOU CAN MAKE IT if you really want to!!!!|||The main thing you need to focus on is hustle. Coaches love constant hustle even if you're not that good offensively. Hustle, play strong, aggressive defense, and on offense...PASS THE BALL. Don't worry about your shot unless you're wide open. Coaches want to see hustle and team play. The first thing they look for is a player that can do all the little things to help them win. Guaranteed you'll get a spot if you do that. Good Luck!|||stretch. and a light job. maybe a mile, but at a slow pace.|||Squeeze some tennis balls so you can improve your catching. I know you don't wanna drop any passes in front of the head coach! Also, go in to tryouts with a attack mode-type attitude, and also be agressive. Look to help other players out on the court, play your game, and most of all...try your hardest. Also, don't stress too much today, relax and get some rest so you'll be at full strength, while everyone out on the court is yawning and stuff.|||eat pasta tonight for a good carb buildup and get plenty of rest|||dont walk in wearin headbands and all dat other fancy gear...trust me dat is da only reason i got cut last year...if u do dat then da coaches will think ur cocky and a kobe type of player(which coaches hate!!unless its da real kobe!!)|||play DEFENCE,DEFENCE,DEFENCE.
IF YOU DO THAT, CONGRATULATIONS YOUR ON THE TEAM|||HUSTLE AND EAT HEALTH|||Great advice from Bec!
Get plenty of sleep. Studies have shown that athletes competing with less than ten hours sleep the night before are more likely to get injured.
During the tryouts, hustle everywhere. Be the first in line for every drill, if you can. When running suicides, make sure you slap the lines with two hands, don't just tap them, or worse, pretend to touch them. There will be players dogging it, don't imitate them.
When on defense, stay low and in balance. If your player beats you, sprint back and try to get in front of him. If you get a chance to do so, take a charge. Don't go for steals and blocks while the player still has his feet on the ground.
Make your layups. Nothing drives a coach crazier than players that get to the rack and don't finish.
Don't get injured today! Just practice your layups (right and left hand), free throws and jump shots.|||definitely get about 10 uninterrupted, sound, hours of sleep! if you think that it's impossible for you to get this much because you might not be used to doing this, take a very hot shower after a long enough that it takes workout to wear you out till you feel like you're gonna drop, and then hit the hay with a full committment to do just that. lock your bedroom door if you have to avoid intrusions from rude and inconsiderate others, and even turn on a semi-loud fan for the entire night to block out distracting or possibly wakening noises and sweet dreams!!!!!!
good luck on making the team!|||Be aggressive and make sure you're skills are seen. It's like a job interview. They have to see in you what you know about yourself...show it to them. Once they've seen it though, don't get too flashy. Coaches are looking for players who play hard, dive for loose balls, defend, share the ball, follow their shots, rebound the ball, and last but not least listen to the coach! Do all of these things and you'll be fine. Remember, approach each day of the tryouts like you might get cut if you don't play the best basketball of your life...|||1. Carb Up! Have spaghetti, salad, and maybe some garlic bread for dinner.
2. For tomorrow, don't be afraid to pass the ball. Most coaches would rather have a player who will pass if they don't have a shot in their comfort zone, than one that will throw a wild shot.
3. WORK ON LAYUPS-every basketball tryout i have been to has eliminated about half the players that don't make many layups.
Hope this helps!|||Well i don't play basketball, but when I'm trying out for a softball team i make sure I'm well rested the night before. Being sleep deprived only makes you more nervous. Also, coaches love positive attitudes. Encourage others who are doing drills while you are in line for your turn. Give high-fives to others when they walk past you. Most coaches will take a mediocre player with a good attitude over a great player who is grumpy.|||Positive mental outlook that shows up outside. Cheer on your teammates and be a good sport. If someone gets knocked to the ground next to you, help them up. Listen to the coaches and don't be cocky. Teamplayers help team spirit which is another factor of the team's lineup. Get some sleep as well. You may be nervous/excited but it's needed because if you show up to basketball like a zombie, you won't be able to shoot accurately or run. It's good that you have been practicing fundamentals. Good luck in your tryout and give it your best shot.

What are good workouts for a basketball player?
I am almost 13, I am hoping to be playing basketball for my school this year. I have practice this month, try outs in november, and so forth. I am in good shape but you can always be stronger, and better. What are some good workouts?|||burn mats, pushups , runnn|||The best workout for basketball, is to play more basketball. If you want to be a paint player you can consider lifting weights for bulk and power, but other than that, just play more. Maybe attach an ankle or wrist weight while your shooting around and running, that will tune everything up just fine.|||While playing on a team, you have to run up and down the court for what seems like the longest time. Wht I found has helped me is running suicides. Or I'll run quick sprints for fast break situations. Hope this helps.|||Practice Ball handling and do leg workouts like lunges they really help|||runrunrunrunrunrunrunrunrun
What do people look for in basketball tryouts?
I am in middle school, about 5'8" and i want to try out for my basketball team. For the past 10 months or so i have been serious about my training, starting from complete novice up to now. Well now i can dribble decently, and can shoot consistently (but no threes :( ) but in games i struggle to find open shots or drive to the basket. Tryouts are soon so what would you guys say that i would need to work on?|||i agree with FAB...
don't do anything at half pace, you need to be going at full pace thjen some.
if you work hard and show that you can do the grunt work like rebound, d up etc you will get alook in.
ie how ariza first got a shot in the lakers rotation he did his part defensivly and he managed to be a key contributor for the lakers win last year.
so just prove to the coach that you will do anything it takes to be in the teamand once your in then you can use the time to work on the other things that you have trouble with.|||I agree with the other people before me, but they also look at some other thinks like how you work with the other players-aka don't be a ball hog. They also look at your skill and really want a player that is coachable and that will listen. Good luck!|||your coach will look for potential and hard workers. make sure that run the floor and NEVER walk because it pisses coaches off the most when they see lazy players walking. always keep a game face - you dont have to be a scorer just a hustler. good luck

Point guards need to be quick.|||Left bench next to Adam morrison|||sf because yore fast ,tall and youre gonna receive alot of fouls and youre a good free trow shooter|||Water boy|||Point Guard
What are ways to understand how to make offense basketball plays?
My offense rank i believe is a D, because i hardly understand them and i need some kind of web site if any one knows that can help me understand
I have no problem with Defense, because I was a good defense player in basketball
other thing to know, my college has no basketball team.
Can anyone give me anything on a web site that can help me understand offense a little better?|||The whole key to offense is to find the holes. Always take what the defense gives you. If you can't find a hole, then you must create one with a pick or a screen. Keep the ball moving and crash the boards.|||I doubt this helps but|||Remember to run screens and pick and rolls. Dont just stay in one spot , move around. The game shouldnt be too complicated and dont get intimidated by it. Let it run its course.|||I hope this helps. sundsqk321 said it for me.
