1. Communicate with teammates while playing 2. Don’t take more than 4 dribbles 3. Don’t be a hero 4. Play HARD Defense 5. Listen to the coach 6. Stand out, physically
As a coach with more than 30 years in the game I find Collin's hacks in this video to be spot on - and I've watched several of these "make your team" videos. If you want to stand out try introducing yourself to the coaching staff or doing other intangibles - I've never paid much attention to shorts or haircuts, especially when that person can't play to begin with.

@@gaming_sportsaaron1365 that’s good, just remember to ALWAYS hustle, there’s players like Patrick Beverly that made it to the nba without an offensive bag.
I watch this video and others every day cuz my try outs are December 3rd. It motivates me, gives me tips and confidence to make the team. I'm that confident I'll say it rn: I'M GONNA MAKE THE TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish me luck........ MyCareer in real life has already started!
+Willy Kabala I did too I made it past the first cut but the next time I got cut and once I looked at the roster I realized it was only football players on the team
I would only add this to the communication piece as a coach: be the player who goes up to the kid on the free throw line after a shot, make or miss, and give him some love. High five, fist bump, etc. Be the guy who gets excited for his teammates if they score. There are not enough of those guys so if you can authentically add that it's a win for you.
So, I'm in grade 7 and I'm looking to be a starting shooting guard. What is something important about being a shooting guard that really stands out to coaches??
You are only in grade 7? Master the midrange. When you are that young most coaches ban taking threes even if the line is there, plus, it will help you in the long run.
Bro its all good! Just cause you get cut doesn't mean it's all over. I got cut last year but u gotta work hard. Im trying out again this year but even if I get cut im still gonna work hard and push! you gotta fight through the hard times bro and if u need help i got u. Stay in there man and keep grinding
I have tryouts on Sunday for AAU this is my first time and I'm scared shitless my friends are saying that I'm goons make the team but I'm afraid I'm gonna choke
What I learned about my school when it comes to making the team. 1.become close with the coach. Once you're one of coaches favorites you'll automatically be on the team. 2. Become tall if you're not tall then become big. My high school coach didn't pick me cuz I was small and skinny but I could shoot better than most people including off the dribble. Haven't tried for my school team for two years and this was jv. So I decided to get bigger and tryout for a overseas team😎👍🏾.
my tryouts are today, i’m currently in my last class and i’m excited for today. There’s a lot of players trying out and i’m also a freshman. Wish me luck
Thanks Man! I tried out as Center since I'm 6'6 (I'm really tall since my parents both above 6'3 and I made it. I get most minutes and I made the team due to my fact of getting rebounds consistently and scoring in the post consistently. I thought I couldn't make the team because I'm too nervous playing organized sports. I should of found this video earlier. I've been playing Center since grade 6 I never got the courage to try out. Thanks again, I'm the star of the team thanks to you! i'm 14 btw 8th Grade
Speaking of sticking out, I went to a mostly black school and our coach was a little racists towards white people, he felt unless they just put on a show at try outs they weren't good. Well like 5 white people show up and their decent, not good enough to make the team and the coach would just get their names confused. Well one of them came back the second day of try outs with dreads and the coaches noticed him a lot more. They were calling him to do drills and they just felt they needed to learn more about that guy. To keep a long story short, he made the team and thats when i knew sticking out meant so much at try outs.
Hey guys thought I’d share my story on basketball. So my friend told me about how I should tryout for their team they were div 4 and 3 and they where my skill at the time so I did. I first tried out for their team and they the best club in the state, On tryouts I was better than 90% of the players there I played well doing the drills well and listening to the coaches carefully, I also excelled in the physical aspects as well as the drills, (and also had good grades) the tryouts went for a week which made sense as they had to make sure they were certain with their choices. After a week or so I got a call back and they told me I did not make the team. At first I was shocked on how I didn’t make it since I was better then the majority at the tryouts, but this just motivated me the following year, I worked hard and trained almost everyday on my jump shot, finishing moves and polishing my game. this time I tried out for a team further down south and I made it this time, I was so happy, I felt as if I all my hard work payed off. through that year I excelled and was moving up divisions quickly and overall improving, people were coming to my games just to see me. Coaches from other high clubs watched me and had interests as well. I eventually got to division 1 and was the top scorer in the league, (averaging 34 points and even getting in the 60’s some times. A few months later I got offered a scholarship and to play in my friends team I first tried out for ages ago, I rejected the offer and told them you should of picked me up when you had the chance. A few months later my friends got moved up to division 1 and we ended up playing them in the finals and I dragged my team to the win with 39 points 12 rebounds 8 assists My story just shows what can happen with hard work and motivation as I hope to motivate YOU. Work for your dreams just as I worked for mine.
Thanks for the tips man, I've always loved basketball but always thought I couldn't play because I'm pretty small, I ended up going to my local ymca to try and get better and this upcoming year I'm gonna maybe try out for the team
thank coach i hope these tips work my try out is in a week as a freshman my goal is to at least make the bench during my middle school years i ve failed to make the team in my first year then work my way up to be a full time starter I hope I can do the same in highschool
Coach Do u have any footwork specific drills. Like a couple different ways or any tips on footwork. My Shot is a Simple Quick One motion shot its just that my feet feel weird when shooting like I'm squared to the basket and it feels wrong
Love that part about the defence it's not that damn hard to put some effort on defence some people think they're a hot shot but they don't play a lick of D. They're weak
Try outs were today and i didn't make it i was pissed off. but i dont understand why because my grades are good i make good shots, passes and asists, and iam 6'1 but they only chosed some kids who were on lasts years team why?
I know coaches always do that. They always pick the kids on last year. I honestly hope i make it this year, im going to be a sophomore and its probably gonna be harder. Im gonna practice every day.
I had tryouts yesterday and I made the full team as a freshman!

Hey @ShotMechanics would you make a video for smaller players? Shooting, moving without the ball, Defense.
JSFrederic this is a good idea
yeah
As a coach with more than 30 years in the game I find Collin's hacks in this video to be spot on - and I've watched several of these "make your team" videos.

I'm I'm late but 3 things I've learned
1. COMMUNICATE
2.DEFENSE
3. STICK OUT

Is it good to be really good at defensive. Because I’m not good at dribbling and I can’t really do cross overs nor behind the back.
@@gaming_sportsaaron1365 that’s good, just remember to ALWAYS hustle, there’s players like Patrick Beverly that made it to the nba without an offensive bag.
I got tryouts tmmrow! Thanks Coach 'appreciate it!

@@datryhardnoob3860 4 years later how is it going
My coach cut me bc I'm 6'4 but I'm like KD lanky and he wanted football players on his team not surprised we have a losing record though
Bruh I didn't play football in 7th grade and tryout for the team I was almost close to making it. I'm 5'11.
+Willy Kabala I did too I made it past the first cut but the next time I got cut and once I looked at the roster I realized it was only football players on the team
Or you suck
My tryouts are next week and I've been doing this when I'm running pick up games and this literally in my system now
You seriously upload this the day AFTER MY TRYOUTS JUST ENDED. TRIGGERED
I have tryouts for an aau circuit team in 12 days , thanks for the advice 🏀🙏🏾‼️

Captain Cannon facts LMFOAOOO
Thank you so much. Tryouts on Monday can't wait
So, I'm in grade 7 and I'm looking to be a starting shooting guard. What is something important about being a shooting guard that really stands out to coaches??
Ben Palmiere Always moving when you dont have the ball.
Brian Scalabrine Its good to know that i have legendary advice from the GOAT
Im serious look at all the greats kobe mj ray allen when they dont have the ball they always move to get open.
Try to move off ball try to get open and take smart shots
You are only in grade 7? Master the midrange. When you are that young most coaches ban taking threes even if the line is there, plus, it will help you in the long run.
I have try outs Monday thank you coach c! Really needed this
Tryouts will be tomorrow, wish me luck!
