Basketball Help

For basketball players, can you guys give me some tips? I really suck in it, I have an evaluation tomorrow and I think that I'm going to fail.
I currently have 65% in physical education.

Dayyum,we're the same age, you're like 2 inches taller than me, but its fine, when it comes to basketball, height is needed, if your playing the inside positions, if your PG or SG, it doesnt really matter, but people who are your height (Nate Robinson) needs to be very quick, high jumps, and a deadly shot, that's what I'm focusing on right now, but I want Jamal Crawford's handles too >:l

[quote=simaini]if it's for physical education in school, then it doesn't really matter if you're good or not. i don't think they expect everybody to be really good. all you gotta know is the basics.
just dribble well and you will pass. and practice the drills you do in class. and shoot a free throw or something. phys ed classes don't expect much. and know your passes and stuff, like bounce pass, overhead, chest, etc.
lol, a friend of mine once said "i failed passing" [/quote]

The problem is that I do everything well in practice, but I'm weak as hell in game (not very able to play with others / in match?) --> My teacher only evaluates for matches.
My opposite team can easily steal my ball once I get it, so I can't never score a goal.

You're ok, I was 5'6" when I was 13, then I went to 5'9" when I was 15, then finally 5'11" at 16.
Probably 5'11.5-6'0" now

Practice, practice, and practice. It also helps if you have a real life coach who can tell you a bit more stuff.

[quote=1kevqn]I don't know what this test is or how they test you. But you're very short, and in basketball that's not good at all[/quote]

That is very average for a 15 year old girl you pleb.
I doubt her female classmates are much taller.

You're probably fine, in PE they don't expect people to be amazing basketball players, they'll test your basics

Being black is the #1 way to be good at basketball.

Doesn't matter, you can't drastically improve over one night
You don't play sports?

Basketball, like any sport isn't something you can drastically improve over one night. [b]You need time and practice.[/b]
