Yes, you dont have to shoot to b a good player. If u can pass good, block, or are really good at defence id give it a shot. And if u try out and decide u dont like it..u can quit, its not like its written in stone or anything.

you shouldn't be forced to do anything you don't want to, especially when it comes to being on a team and having to commit so much of your time on something you dont like. if you want to get better, just work on your shooting, keep your elbows in and make sure you have a clean follow through rather than just dropping your arms.

hey i really dont like how people do that! im in the same situation. i think that if you really hate it you shouldnt play. when i started and now still i cant even make a basket durring the game, im so annoyed by that, but everyone says im a good defender. i think its your choise, if you want to try it or not, you might be good at one thing or you could end up the best on the team. i hope i helped out a little! *Marielle*

no deffinatley not if u dont like it! go for somehting u want to do! dont let them tell u to if thats not what u want for urself! and tell them that, nicley tho!

Pass the ball. and practice. In Basketball you don't always have to shoot and being 5*7 really helps most of the time when you do play the taller people don't get defended as much cuz they might knock the smaller person down or something. But it's a good game and it grows on you after awhile. Ask to be a point guard there the ones that stand by the goal and try to keep the other team from getting points being 5*7 really helps cuz your tall!

That is totally YOUR choice! Not any1 else's. If you don't like it, then it's not worth puttin ur time in2 it when u could be doing sumthin else that u would rather do.

If you don't like the sport very much then I wouldn't do it if I were you. Rebounders and defenders are a strong part of the team though. When I played basketball in school I was a great rebounder and it definitely helped the team but I really was not a good shooter. Anyway, if you don't like the sport though then don't do it because you won't have as much fun. I hope this helps!

I get the same thing and im 5'6 you sound lyk me i dont play even though every1 wants me to i just tell them i cant play and that i cant shoot lol and they listen i dont think you should play if you dont want to i mean who wants to o wat they dont want to?lol i hoped i helped!

Well i'm 6'6" and just 16 years old and no one is really begging me to stay with the team this year (and I know how to play basketball well). So what i'm guessing is that your school team really sucks. Just practice shooting everyday for a little while and you'll probably be better then everyone on the team. Everyone sounds kind of desperate to have you. Have fun!

If you don't like basketball, then don't play it. I feel the same way about basketball because I am not very good at it at all. I don't like basketball either and then I realized when I was playing- If i don't like basketball, then why am I here- and then I moved on. I did something more enjoyable for me. I am a lot happier now. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME DOING SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE TO DO!!!! I hope I could help you out.

I think you shouldn't play just because of your height...even the shortest people can be the best...it all depends on how much you enojoy/like the game because if you dont like it, you wont want to play and then you wont do good for the team...just do what you want to do not what other people want you to do. *Bridgett*
]
if you're not that good and you dont think practice will make you better then maybe you shouldn't bother playing
]
Basketball isn't all about shooting. Even if you have excellent offense, without a good defense there's really no way to win a game. So yeah, play! Every team needs a good rebounder.
]
dont play a sport if you dont really love it. basketball requires a lot of dedication and hard work so if you arnt totally into it you wont be able to be the best you can be and you would prolly hate it even more
]
dear basketball,
only play if you want to. don't do it for ur coach or anyone else but urself and think about if you really want to. and if you do then go for it.
]
What u need to do is practice. Ask ur coach if he can help u out. If you really don't feel like playing after a lil while of practicing then don't. But I think that once u get the hang of it there's no way u can't like it. I luv basketball and if you need anymore help just let me know!

Only play if u want..u shudn't feel pressured or forced to play..i mean if u wana play maybe start practicing down at the park or something..It's no ones right to tell u that ur guna play only do it if u want
]
You should do what ever you want..if you dont want to play well then you dont have too..but if you do and you think you cant shoot..it dont matter if you can or not just as long as you have fun playin..hope i helped
]
I play basketball...and im about the same height as you are.. I think its a lot of fun, atleast try it out, and like other people said you could always just pass the ball. But the main thing is practice makes perfect! so just keep at it and you will most likely see improvement. Good luck!

definetly! give everything a go! Practice makes perfect.... some famous bball players sucked in their school years.. but they were determined. Determination is the key to it all ;-)
]
I think you should play..Maybe you'll grow to like it. I play basketball and I love it..But it also might not be for you.It might be a good experience for you too! But do what you wanna do! Don't let other people suck you into doin somethin you dont wanna.GOOD LUCK! HOPE I HELPED!!

Ok you KiNdA hate basketball but every one is pressuring you to? well when i was in 5th grade every one was pressuring me 2 do cross country even the coach, i did it any ways and i dont regret it but u have played it before and you didnt like it so i guess just tell your coach that you dont want to let down the team but you dont really like basketball. If he gives you a hard time let him know that you really dont want to, maybe tell him that you have to much work to do on the side. If the teamates give you a hard time tell them that your parents said that you couldnt play because you were A. grounded- B. it costed to much- or C. make something else up. good luck

ABSOLUTELY! when i first started i was terrible and i signed up but it was actually fun! you should try it and you will be surprised at how many new players there are! but if you are still uncomfortable about being inexperienced, ask you coach for help. even some of your friends will practice with you. i know it sounds corny, but practice makes perfect!just try your hardest-good luck
]
You shouldn't play it if you don't like it! Don't let people pressure you into things you don't like doing or that you don't want to do. But if you want to play, then you should go for it! Hope this helps!!
