If you played before you already know the fundementals of the game! It's always good to be a little nervous before a game! Just try and relax and trust in yourself! You know how to play and in the end it's just a game, so remember to go out on the court and have fun! Play well, but always remember why you starting playing the game. . . because it was fun! good luck to you and your team!

i remember my 1st high school game it was so long ago 4 years ago. i wasnt as nervous cause i jus came off gettin the championship winning touchdown run for my football team nd i was really confident. i didnt play much in my 1st few bball games cause of a few injuries but before every game i would shoot a few free throws cause it relaxed me a lot nd i did that through senior year. if u dont want 2 do that u can always hang out with a few of ur freinds nd talk about nothin before ur needed in the locker room. good luck

Don't worry about the game, let it come to u...Dont be nervous and depending on the position u play when u have open shots take them, you will have confidence if you make them consistentley. Let Your coaches know that you are playing as hardest as you can, also dont be afrid to take charges and sky over everyone for the rebound.
Good Luck

its okay to be nervous but if its really out of hand try to do something you enjoy. try listening to music. that helps me clam down. remember its just a game and its only the first game of the season. dont stress out because you are going to get more than one chance to show people that you can play.
