What are some tips/drills i can do for playing center/forward?

Question

Okay, it's girls basketball. I usually play center, but we lost our best forward this year and my coach said he would be switching me around some. I've never really played forward before so I was wondering if you guys had anything that could help me improve. I could also use some tips on playing center too.Thanks =)

Answer 1

I would really recommend using the Better Basketball videos that you see on tv. You can search them on You Tube for free. They have videos there about establishing the post and better rebounding techniques. I played Power Forward in high school, some things i would really focus on was my 10-15 foot shot, and just hit the side of the backboard and keep practicing rebounding. There is really not much of a difference between Center and Power Forward just keep doing what you do, all that will change is that 10-15 foot jumper. Hope this could help
