Answer #1

I just started 2 years ago and I’m ranked #2 on my team I’ve been helping my big sister lately and shes got really good well if you join a team middle school or high school they will proboly put you through your paces and if you have a basketball goal then practice on it and ask your gym teacher about correct form when you shoot

Answer #2

Well…for shooting try practicing up close then work your way back and try developing the proper way to shoot the ball, for dribbling just practice and you will improve on the skills, don’t try to get frustrated because then you will get mad and probably not do the skills right…sorry if this doesn’t help, it’s hard to explain. My sources are from me being on my school basketball team.

Answer #3

This is a good question my big thing is repetition and practice and lots of it maybe an hour or two a nght if you want t be really good, just get the mechanics down for shooting, and for dribbling do some drills start by walking while dribbling and slowly speed up until your in a run, big thing is still repetion
