Should I play basketball next year?

I played in 3rd grade throughout 8th grade and then didnt play in ninth or tenth grade... i love basketball and miss playing.. im planning on training all summer and hoping making varsity next year.. I would hope to continue basketball in college.. will me not playing for two years prevent this? I'm 5'3" 110 lbs.. female.. I understand I am undersized.. but I'm not going to let that stop me. Also, should I try to find an AAU team to play for over the summer or should I just train on my own?

I absolutely love basketball it's been my life. Im a senior now and just finished an awesome season winning the district chamionship. One thing that i regret is never playing other sports that i played as a kid (baseball, football etc.). What I am trying to say is that you should absolutely go out next year and try out for the aau team or you will regret it. If for someone reason you do get cut from either team, use that as motivation. Get back at them next year. If you work very hard good things will happen.

You should NEVER give up basketball.
It is hard to grab the attention of coaches when you havent played and if skill ability isnt up to par, then your chances of playing varsity andcollegeball are slim. I suggest you continue working out and possibly playing in summer leagues to help you gain some skill. IF you dont make varsity, then dont take that as you failing, but continue on with it and have fun.
Sure why not basketball is a fun sport and should be enjoyed by anyone tall or short big or small. Think about playing again cause you don't know what your missin
your size doesn't matter cuz i am 5'3 n i also weigh 110 pounds. n next year i will be a freshmen. but whenever i was an 8th grader i was bumed up to the varsity team. training all summer would be a best thing to do because u need to stay in shape if u want to make it for varsity. well my question to u is howcome u stopped playing basketball in the first place?? it's proabaly none of my business. so u should play basketball next year cuz it keeps u in fight and in nice shape. it's really up to u cuz u also gotta keep up with ur grades n maintain at least a 3.0 average.
If you are serious about playing in college, whether it is big or small, you need to join an AAU team this summer. Just being on the team is not good enough, you have to be a start or at least first off the bench. The difference between high school ball andcollegeis mind blowing. I tried out for NC State and could have walked on at a smaller school. You have to train like you really want it. Your size has nothing to do with your ability. Look at Spud Webb, he was about your size and he is an NBA All-Star. You need all the exposure you can get and by playing AAU you will get the exposure you need, but only if you are on the court. Good luck.
yeah, why not?
Yes
it really doesn't matter if you are undersized or not what matters is if you have the will to tough it out , offseason, on season, it dont matter. i played for a couple of years, didnt play for the next year, still made the team because i had the will. not many kids these days have the will but that is what high school coachs look for, not tallent, not size, the will. Now thecollegecoaches look for talent and if you have the will to play your coach will work with you. P.S.( Good Luck)
Yes.
Why not? You love to play it, so just do it. Just because your undersized doesn't mean you can't play. There are plenty of NBA and WNBA players that are not tall. Pursue your dreams.
Yes.



You have a lifetime love and you should pursue it. While there is a possibility that you might not make it pro, you play - first and foremost because you love the game and enjoy it. Never compromise your dreams.



There are a million little ways to work on improvement and sharpening your skills. Start working on them now. But also, try to find some ways to challenge your skills so you grow from where you are now.



Look for camps like the Coach Wootten camp. The best way to improve is to find someone who is an expert that can critique your weaknesses and give you areas to improve and round out your game. How about asking any former coaches to meet with you for a while?



Do you have any friends who are now playingcollegeball? Followup with them and find out how they transitioned tocollegeball. You need to be aggressive in your pursuit of info just as you must be aggressive on the court.



Play, absolutely, PLAY!!!



Good Luck!
PLAY PLAY PLAY!!! They can measure your height and weight but they can NEVER MEASURE YOUR HEART AND DETERMINATION TO WIN!!!! PLAY PLAYPLAY!!!
Always do what you feel is right, you should def play basketball. If you don't try you'll regret it the rest of your life.
ye! :)
I don't know the size of your school but if you really want to try out, go ahead. If anything, you probably may make the jv team but practice, practice, practice.
Of course you should try out for the team...it IS something you say you love. I mean the absolute worst thing that could happen is what...you don't make the team. However, if you don't try out, you DEFINITELY won't make the team and you will be mad at yourself for not, at least, trying.
yeah



go for it!!!



that's a great sport and if u love to play basketball then u should pursue that dream. :)
try out...work hard!
