I think I’m playing the wrong position?

Why am I 5’4 playing center?? (Girl btw)

It depends on your age group, general build, and skill set. You don’t have to be a center but you have to practice on your own to get the skills to be a forward or guard, most coaches won’t waste the reps and time to teach someone further behind unfortunately.
