How To...
Fluke your way into the basketball team


1) Turn up at try-outs with long pants...with stilts underneath.

2) Rapidly move your hands up and down. When asked what you're doing, answer that you're dribbling the ball. It's just too fast for anyone else to see the ball.

3) Bombard your future team mates with facts and figures that are to do with basketball. It does not matter if you're basko-moron, just make it up. When questioned, just casually say that you're a fan of "underground" basketball teams that no one has heard of. Yet.

4) Dress like you're already making a million bucks from basketball-ing. That's right. Oversized singlets, too-heavy sneakers, some bling-bling ka-ching ka-ching and maybe a bandana.

5) Play it like you mean it. Even if you're running around like a quixotic leprechaun, they will see that you have stamina.

6) Pass the ball to everyone, even if they're not ready. This emphasises your team spirit and your ability to cooperate.

7) Wave your arms at random intervals. It makes people wonder about your defensive/offensive strategy when in fact, you're doing neither.

8) Of course, fluking the team is made ten times easier if your name is Chloe, and the teacher in charge of the try outs is Mr Siu.
