"Hi, I'm Travis Corpening, and I'm about to teach you, how to tryout for the D-League. Here we are at Carolina Beach Recreation Center. And what I want to do first of all, is tell you, that the first thing to do when you're trying out for any team, is, you want to put in the work ahead of time, the weeks and months ahead of time before the actual tryout date. Now, once you've put in all the work, gotten all the drills out of the way, and you've increased your talent, you've increased your skill level, what you want to do is, you want to get a- find a team to actually tryout for. Easy, you can go to websites, the NBA has a NBDL website link, once you go to that link, you can find out which teams are in your area. Once you find a team in your area, you want to find out on the website, which day- what's the dates for their tryouts. After you find out that, they'll probably have a registration cost, you get that out the way, and find some way to get to the tryout. Now, before you get there, you want to make sure- each NBDL team actually has drills, just like any other tryouts, they have drills, and you want to be in shape, because trying out for the D-league, is not like trying out for a middle school team or a elementary school team, you're actually playing against guy that their skill level, that's been playing just as long, if not longer than you have. So you want to come in shape and ready to perform. There you have it, trying out for the D-league."
