Im 5'9" and 13. I plan on playing freshman basketball next year. What is a healthy weight to play power forward or center.What is a healthy weight to be to play freshman basketball?
Don't worry about your weight and if its 'perfect' for your position, just play well and be good.
Your shooting ability or first step speed is more important than your weight.
165-180 is good... u might want to try small forward though because your a good height for that. When I was a Freshman I was 5'10 200 and I played power forward but when I ran into kids that were 6'3 or 6'4 I had trouble. If you are going to play that position at that height you need to be a bruiser and get as many rebounds as you can. I used to score in between 5-10 points a game but would average 12-15 rebounds. Play hard do the dirty work on the boards down low and you will have a promising high school basketball career.What is a healthy weight to be to play freshman basketball?
yeah about 170 ...but it really depends on your game ...i just got done with my season as freshmen and i weighed 155 and 6'2 ...so my height put me at tht position ...but if your light..chances are your more quick in order to be a small forward you need a shot...i was a PF and i have a shot and i can post up... if you have speed height PF is perfect..but weight is the real big difference between....kevin garnett and shaq one can post up and play really big and one can handle the ball , shoot, and can post up with quick drop steps and turn around jumpers
youre not power forward or center height
it would probably be good to play a guard for your height nd i would worry about the weightWhat is a healthy weight to be to play freshman basketball?
if you grow couple inches in the summer you should weigh about 170 all muscle if you want to play center or power
175

Is erecting a basketball court at the White House fiscally responsible?
Obama plans to put up a basketball court so he and his home boys have a place to play. Do you think this is a wise use of taxpayer money? Couldn't he just play at a local DC park?Is erecting a basketball court at the White House fiscally responsible?
The cost of protection would far exceed the cost to put up the court.
The White House has many recreation areas: bowling alley, movie theater, etc. This is nothing new.
Do you really think it's a safe or wise idea for the President of the US to just go out to any old street corner court?Is erecting a basketball court at the White House fiscally responsible?
Playing in the park would probably cost more in the long run, with security details and all.
No, it's more cost effective to build the court at the White House.
If Obama were to use a local part it would require dozens of minders and police to prevent terrorists and/or domestic assassins from trying to kill him, and it would require an entire park to be closed off to the tax payers. This is more expensive than just providing him with a court of his own.Is erecting a basketball court at the White House fiscally responsible?
The Wizards will be palying a couple of pre-season games there, so ticket sales should more than cover the costs.
there is a gym in the white house, so maybe he will just add some hoops, and I hope he would not go to a local park so considering they get an allowance to make things to their liking, its money already there.
It will be okay. No he cannot play in the park. I am sure there will be more money wasted by our government on more foolish things.miata

How often should I go practice to be a good basketball player?
I always was a bad player and I'm now only starting to become an average one. How often should I practice to be a good dribbler, generally get better, and don't let my shooting get rusty? Should it be like 2 times a week? 3 times a week? Every other day? EVERY day? By the way, I'm not asking which ones is best for me, I'm just asking which one is necessary in order to be good at basketball.How often should I go practice to be a good basketball player?
michael jordan practiced 6 hours a day, nuff said...but if you really want to be a good basketball player, i suggest so you practice wit your friends so can learn from them and you might be able to teach them a thing or two as well, its alot easier to improve if your used to having someone to compete with so you can challenge each other and learn from each others mistakes...goodluck!
atleast 3-4 hours of practice a day would be enough to improve your game...
Quite simply - all day, every day. Well, not ALL day, but at least an hour. I used to be a horrible basketball player but got inspired after my Pistons won the title in '04. I played every day for at least 2 hours and got to the point where I could play with just about anyone (not necessarily anyone one-on-one but in a team setting). All you have to do is practice your jumper and it will be surprisingly reliable. I never became GREAT at dribbling; I could still take it to the basket but I'd suggest some sort of dribbling routine without shooting to get really good. It's a great way to get in shape without working out. That said, your legs will take care of themselves but you will still need to build up upper-body strength in the weight room. And if you start slacking even a little you will get rusty so go at it as much as you can. Sorry for such a long answer, but I hope I helped you out.How often should I go practice to be a good basketball player?
Thats an easy questionif you want to be the best you dont only practice day and night you do research and visual practice which is watching the games and copying the pro's moves if you want to be good not best but good 5 times a week
Since im a good basketball player i practiced so hard when i was a kid i would spend in the holidays maybe 3 hours a day (in different proportions)
Just practice, research, practice, research, practice, research
if you want to be good i guess 3 times a week but if u want to be on your high school team, high school teams practice every day, so...but to be good i guess 3 times a weekHow often should I go practice to be a good basketball player?
i have been playing basket ball for 4 years now. my friends got me into it. when i first started my friend beat me in a 1 on 1 game 10 - 1. i was humiliated. i practiced every day 2 - 4 hours even in the rain. (my mom called me crazy). i broke two pair of sneakers (they literally fell apart). A year later i beat my friend 32 - 24.
Every day. Thats what I do and I play high school ball. Work on lay-ups. Running. Condition your self! Cross overs, getting has high has you can (to da rim, not da drug lawl). BUT! Seriously man, don't burn yourself, just keep shooting.
I practice everyday. I don't do drills but i shoot around, dribble around my neighborhood, and play with my friends pretty much everyday for hours.

How do I go about getting recruited by colleges for basketball?
I'm a pretty good player, just not a phenom by any means. I'm a sophomore in highschool right now and I think I could play basketball in college. What do I do to get schools to notice me?How do I go about getting recruited by colleges for basketball?
Talk to your athletic director and guidence counselor about this. After that think about what colleges you think might realistic be interested in you and start visiting them. See if you can talk to any members of the basketball coaching staff. Also make yourself a highlight tape of your best moments from your high school games that you can send to colleges to show what you have to offer to their program.
i have the same problem i'm a freshmen, played varsity, scored 10 points a game with 5 assists, make tapesHow do I go about getting recruited by colleges for basketball?
Be 7 feet tall.
Now is the time to start a personal achievement chart. You need to include such things as academic scores, community service you have done, your history of sports, and your coach should have alot of information. You also need to write all kinds of colleges telling them to come watch you play!!!!!How do I go about getting recruited by colleges for basketball?
I think breaking a lot of records or doing some pretty crazy stuff will get you noticed in high school. Otherwise, you're going to have to contact schools that you're interested in first.
Get awards from your team, like MVP, or at least score lots of points. Take your team to state or nationals.
But. That might not happen.
You can still get sports scholarships, etc., by just applying to schools. Be sure to put your awards and such on your application.
Tell your coach to make tapes of your best highlights and go to camps that are for special colleges....
Also have a good GPA..and
light it up during season...

How to post up good in basketball?
I can drive in really well and take the contact like it was nothing for the AND1, but for my height compared to teammates (I'm 5'10- 6'), I should post up commonly for my current basketball position to them (PF-C). Answer my other question about my basketball position as well if you want, thanks.
How do you hook?
What to do when there's a double team?
How do you get space when posting up?How to post up good in basketball?
when you hook use a spin move works for me and im 5'6
when theres a double team dont look at the floor or turn your back look up and find that 1 open man.
when you create space have your back towards your oppenent and just keep bumping in to him this will allow you to get a gap and a shot.How to post up good in basketball?
to post up, you have to have a wide stance. This means, your feet should be a fair distance apart from each other. This will help your balance. Also, you should stay low, don't hunch over and keep your back straight. Your arms should be ready for the ball so keep them up. some people actually sit on the person defending you, (kinda like leaning). Just be careful not to lose your balance if they move. If you want to do a hook shot, im pretty sure Youtube can help you with that.When there's a double team, i would quickly pass it to a near by guard for the shot, or strong drive to the hoop. Lastly, if you want to get space, you have to make sure you have a decent area to receive the ball. Make sure you seal the person first. It would also be helpful to jump to the ball, instead of waiting for it to come. It'll create less of a chance of getting it stolen. Square up to the basket, should create some space, and if it doesn't the person is probably too close. (which you could probably drive by)How to post up good in basketball?

Why Cant i play soocer and basketball and still be good in both sides?
I am an Soccer player Now Before i was an basketball player , and now people are telling me that i cant play both sports , i have to choose soccer or basketball.Why Cant i play soocer and basketball and still be good in both sides?
no one is stopping you to play both sports. but in order to excel in one, you have to forgo the other. otherwise, you could end up a jack of all trades, master on none.
Pick a sport you good at, the focus. Just keep practicing and playing.Why Cant i play soocer and basketball and still be good in both sides?
man if you good in both you can play both soccor in fall n basketball in winter so split it up or play both i ran cross country and played football
As long as there is no overlap, do them both. If there is an overlap, commit to one or the other.Why Cant i play soocer and basketball and still be good in both sides?
To be good at a sport, you will have to spend a lot of time on it. It's always practice makes perfect.
Now if you're sure you won't get too tired practicing at both sports, then go ahead.
Don't listen to others. What the hell they know? when i was in high school, I did three sports and did them well. Got hurt and was told I would never play again. I never listen and I was still able to play.
There is a distinct reason for this. The muscles in your body have been trained to be able to stride out. The way your muscles developed with soccer it is more tuned for running. Its more of an ability to go forward and not up. With basketball you are with more of an enthesis on up and not forward as much. Granted you will sprint but the muscle memory will prevent the ability from doing both very well. If it was another sport like football or cross country that was a bit more complementary it would be much better and easier for you to do. But due to the fact that you need power muscles over lean endurance muscles for this one. If you want a better explanation on this one talk to your coach for basketball to explain the muscle development.
listen,
keep playing both the games and concentrate more on the one you are good at!
if u dont know which one u r gud at then keep playing until someone encourages or discourages u...
if someone encourages u in soccer then keep going on it and u could also practice basketball...
if u c have been encouraged in both then its all up to u which one u should pick!!
LUCK PICK!! haha
MY FAV IS SOCCER...
actually when i started playing soccer,
i kept concentrating and practicing on it,
then in my school they did not have a soccer playing extra activity but they had basketball and many other like science club and stuff!
but then most of my friends took basketball as it was the only one best out of the others!
so we went for it and then slowly my concentration went on b'ball and concentration went from football...
then we started to bunk in those b'ball extra activity and started to stay in the class and play football with a tennis ball in the class!
we all kept an excuse with us as we just loved footballso we just wanted to play that!
so every activity period all of us went to the other class (8b)....(im in 8a) and then after every one went for their activities, we started playing football there and I GAINED MY CONCENTRATION ON FOOTBALL ONCE AGAIN AND NOW IM TOO GOOD AT IT!!!!!!!!!!mini countryman
