Im trying to learn how to dunk.

Im 5′10, 55 kilos, 15 years old and right now i can get all my fingers and a bit of my palm over the rim. I can dunk a tennis ball right now but I really wanna be able to dunk a size 7. Any advice?

practice running and jumping
and jumping in place

Free running is good for basketball, go watch some youtube videos of Free Running or Parkour

When you are running. Practice running with long steps, no skipping!

Now dunking I can help you with, its very much and English thing, you take a cookie/biscuit, hold it daintily between the index finger and thumb, take you tea/coffee and slowly but carefull lower the cookie into the liquid.The timing of getting the wet cookie into your mouth before it breaks off and falls into the cup, must be perfect, for this gets very messy on ones trousers/pants :-)
I am of course British :-)
