Basketball is your favorite sport, but you don't have the opportunity to play somewhere on a regular basis? Do you want to find a team of amateurs or play in a professional tournament? Check out this article and find out how you can get on a basketball team.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to a professional club to watch. In Russia, in addition to the professional basketball league, there is also the Super League, as well as the Higher League, which consists of groups A and B. In total, there are 40 professional clubs for men and a little less than 30 teams for women. The scheme here is quite simple. Go to the club's official website, find the administration phone number in the contacts section, contact them and express your desire to play and train in their team. If the club is interested in a player of your role, it is quite possible that you will be invited to come to the screening. It all depends on your ability to show yourself in the best light. If you approach the club, you will get into the team, if not, do not despair.
Step 2
Contact a weaker team, or a minor league team. There are also championships in which it will be easier to play than in the Russian championship. At worst, there is amateur basketball, where it is much more realistic to get into than professional basketball.
Step 3
Show yourself on an amateur team. Here we proceed according to the old scheme. We find the contacts of the team, contact someone from it and come to view.
Step 4
Organize your team with your friends. There is another way - to play basketball, in the amateur league. You can create a basketball team with your friends yourself. If there are no 10-12 basketball players you know, you can announce the recruitment to the team on sports forums. In parallel with the recruitment, you should contact the regional amateur league and find out from them the conditions for the team's application for the tournament. It is also worth discussing the terms of your team's participation in the tournament in advance. Ready to become the creator and team captain? Then this path is for you!
Step 5
Contact a sports agent. If you think that the amateur level is not for you and you can play in professional teams, then perhaps you should get a basketball agent who will look for a club for you. Of course, if you are a really cool player. It is best to find an agent through the recommendations of familiar athletes. You can also ask for their contacts at one of the basketball clubs where you will be watching.
