How can I improve as a point guard on my middle school team although I'm only 5 feet?

Question

Our girls school team is composed of seventh and eighth graders. i made the team as a seventh grader and this year my coach guaranteed me the starting point guard position. problem is, I'm 5 feet. How can I improve as a player despite my height? I am quick, a passer first shooter second, and my jump shots aren't a problem. But because of my height, I have problems with seeing the court which leads me to becoming panicky and causing a turnover.

Answer 1

Practice on your shooting and dribbling. You just need to pass the ball and shoot when you're open as a PG.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

You actualy have a advantage because you should be quick and a very good ball handler and its good that your a pass first point guard because as a point guard its ur job..i thnik you need to be patient since there is no shot clock and dont rush things just go with it..maybe you need to work on confidence to..because you might be worried about turning the ball over
