I have my first AAU bball game tomorow and i am very nervous. I play point so i have to know all the plays. My coach puts me at shooting guard [2] sometimes, [in past scrimmages ,this is a game] i sort of know what a 2 does on our offense plays but not positive. Any advice?New to AAU and first game tomorow, advice?
lol calm doooowwn! Firstly, be cool about it. Mentally prepare yourself. Being a basketball player you gotta pay attention . See as a point guard you gotta know the plays, such as knowing what each position on the court does on a certain play. Being a point you must know what ';each of your teamates are doing'; in order to find error in the play, and to know whether or not the team is doing the play RIGHT and not wrong.
But, if your playing the 2 postition in other words it's called a shooting guard. This doesn't mean all is you do is shoot. As a 2 you can do all sorts of things. Set screens for the post,screen for the point,shoot the open 3, drive to the bucket, penetrate to the basekt and dish to the post(give n go).
Although, Just because your the 2 posistion doesn't mean you change your game. Everything is the same all five players must play defense, and rebound. Your just set up at a different spot on the court to create spacing to break down the defense.
This is my advice to you, I say go out there, and just play let the game come to you alright! Like other responders said.. ask your coach to go over plays with you before the game (and not five min before the game) Even better ask a teamate. Find a teamate that knows them such as the pointguard or another guard. Make sure you know what every spot is doing.Even tonight go over the plays in your head, or draw it out on paper.
Well just relax, think about positive stuff before you go to bed tonight don't think about anything such as missing a shot, or screwing up a play. Instead, replace bad thoughts with good such as ';all your shots going in';, and ';scoring of a play that you set up';. Trust me if you think about these things you will have a great game! I found that replacing the negative with positive helps your game a lot! So do what you have to do, and good luck tell me how it goes!!!

B4 your game go up to your coach and ask he/she if they can go over the plays with you. But if you are nervous of going up to your coach and asking them go to one of the more experienced players and ask them to help you!!! Do your best!!! GOOD LUCK 2MORROW!!!!!!
Just play your game and take over the game scoring and defense and shooting guards shoot the ball and make plays for teammates on your team.
Just think as if you were actually in a scrimmage. Also saty in the game and be cool, and everything will be cool.
