What do i do during off season to improve my shape for basketball?
Running laps or on a treadmill or around the block is a good way to get started with getting in shape. Short distance self-timed sprints help (i.e. place tennis balls a 10 to 15 feet apart and grab one and bring it back to your starting point. repeat. then when you have them all, do it again but put them back one by one. Running the ladder/tires/a chalk ladder is GREAT for footwork. Again try to time it. The quicker you are, the better you play. Lifting weights 3 days a week will also improve your game. For vertical jumps, try doing calf raises.



Hope that helps a little.
Reply:just work out, dont do all that starving crap to get built you need proteins. Just build your stamina by running about 45 minutes a day and then do some pushups and situps. To improve on vertical jump you can do a series of things, squats, dead lifts, running jumps (with one leg/switch), mini jumps in place, high jumps, jump over cones. Stuff like that lots of aerobic will help.
Reply:plyometrics, ask your coach or just google it and you can find some online tips!
Reply:get in shape, just drink water, no pop and pretty much starve yourself. eat just rice almost like everyday. to get stamina just jump rope. vertical jump, i just ran down my road with leg weights on and made my legs stronger.
