What happens at a Basketball Try-Out

Well, you’re finally here!
The Big Day Tryouts!
This is where you show off all that hard work you put in and your first trial.

What you should expect is a lot of pushing, yelling and a lot of work so if you’re a snowflake then you might as well leave or get used to.

Now every coach is different so I can’t tell you everything in order but in my past three years with two different coaches I can say that these are the things we do:

• The first thing we usually do is laps around the gym for about 5 minutes (not joking)
• After that we do warm-ups.
• Last year we signed up to be on JV or Varsity (I'm not sure if every coach does that).
• Then we get put into groups. JV and Varsity do layup drills.
• Then we do a game called the number game. Basically, the coach will give you a number in order like forex. 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4 then you wait for your number to be called. After your number is called the coach throws the ball and the first team to score wins.
• Then we do defense drills for 10 minutes.
• Then we do suicides; a series of running drills.
• Then we do dribbling drills.
• Finally, we go home and wait to see the results on Monday.
