PLEASE REMEMBER!: middle school seasons do not last long.  It is extremely hard to cover all the fundamentals and work on conditioning.  If you wish to make the team, please put in the work now.  Run (especially sprint) a lot in the next few weeks before the season begins and work on your dribbling/shooting.  The more work you put in now, the better this season will be.  

 BASKETBALL DRILL: If you do this drill everyday before tryouts, your chances of making the team will improve! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaLql0ueNpY
