CoachUp Training Q&A

Well besides choosing from one of the many qualified coaches on coachup, I would suggest starting to play pick up games around your neighbor or town if you know safe places to go. Joining a YMCA league is a good way to build your game. You also can play intramural basketball for your school or find a park district league to join. All should help raise level of play if you take them serious. Which ever you decide I would definitely suggest that you get in at least 4 hours a week of practice if not more since your just beginning and in high school. A lot of the really good players have been playing since they could pick up a basketball and "live basketball". At your age and height I would suggest a couple hours a week of strength and conditioning routines as well.
