I have the same problem. I'm 5'1. I proved to my coachs that I am better than any of the taller girls and that my shortness doesnt work against me but with me. Just try your best to stand out.

Earl boykins! 5'5 and watching him run circles around Shaq was priceless
In Canada there's a Dwarf basketball team called the Half Pints. I'm sure there's something like that everywhere but it's still pretty cool

Don't get mad just out work everyone else when you get the Chance and show them that shot people can play to if not batter. GOOD LUCK

There was a basketball player who played pros that was I think 5ft 1 the same height as me. Look it up...you can be and do anything you put your mind too, just prove yourself I had too.

well of course you will be overlooked. they can't even see your head! just playing man. you need to get speedy. you need to make shots or steal the ball. if perimeter shots aren't your skill, then go for the layups. stealing can also make you look better and people won't overlook you as often. hey maybe they won't even see you steal the ball!

Well that is pretty short. You should capitalize on your speed and try building up muscle to make up for your lack of height.

Keep practicing and play as much as you can with friends. If you're small, you probably are quicker than most, so use that.
