[quote=Anonymous]Advice would depend on many factors. As someone mentioned above, I would talk to the high school coach for advice. Other factors:
1) What high school? DC are in private schools and honestly, if you don’t make the freshman team, you will likely not make the JV or varsity team in basketball. It is that tough in this area. 
2) Height is not everything, but it matters in basketball. DC was taller than most in MS, but larger population in HS and many kids as taller or taller now. Hard to defend a shot against someone 4 inches taller.
3) There are many programs that run trainings all year long. We loved Evolution Basketball.
Ask them for insight into some of the other AAU teams.
4) DC are in schools where many kids are great athletes who practiced all the time, had extra training, camps, club programs, etc. But many are no longer playing their sport after JV. (Note: these are WCAC schools so may not equate to your HS team). On a positive note, all these kids, while disappointed for a time, found something else to focus on). 
There are plenty of rec, club/AAU programs to continue playing, but I would count on playing basketball in college.
