1. jump higher so you don't hit the rim. dunk 2 handed for more control over the ball.
2. try running and jump
3. dunking isn't really a trick.. its about getting higher... to dunk one handed you need to be able to get the rim to at least half way between the wrist and elbow... two handed doesn't need to be as high but some people have a hard time jumping up with both hands... if that is you... work on coordination skills. a couple of work outs.... heel lifts... and mini squats with heal lifts... full squats with heel lifts.... the other side of that... spend less time trying to dunk.. and more time becoming a better scorer... the last kid on my team that went up for a dunk and rim checked got to watch the rest of the game next to me on the bench. I don't care if people dunk.. but if you go up for a dunk.. miss... and they score... that's a 4 point swing... 5 if they hit a three... not playing smart is how to become an observer vs. being a player.
4. to dunk you need to be able to jump high. one way of achieving this is to do a plyometrics training program. This can get you to jump 6-8 inches higher. It takes 6 weeks to complete the course and you can buy a dvd, that any good retailer will have. Or, you can do it for free on www.brianmac.demon.co.uk just type in plyometrics and it should come up. Hope this helps you.
