BASKETBALL
Definitions of basketball
game. a game played on a
court by two opposing
teams of 5 players; points
are scored by throwing the
ball through an elevated
horizontal hoop.
 James Naismith
Canadian-American
educator

The game was invented in 1891 by Dr. James

Naismith, who would be the first basketball
coach of the Kansas Jayhawks, one of the most
successful programs in the game's history.

James Naismith (November 6, 1861 November

28, 1939) was a Canadian-American physical
educator, physician, chaplain, sports coach and
innovator.
FIRST
BASKETBALL COURT

On December 21, 1891, James

Naismith published rules for a
new game using five basic ideas
and thirteen rules. That day, he
asked his class to play a match in
the Armory Street court: 9
versus 9, using a soccer ball and
two peach baskets.
BASIC SKILLS IN
BASKETBALL
 DRIBBLING
Dribbling - is important to penetrate to the
hoop, move the ball across the court, get
away from the defense, and find a good
passing lane. There are different types of
dribbles:

• change-of-pace,
• crossover dribble,
• behind the back,
• pull back dribble,
• low dribble,
• basic dribble,
• between the legs dribble
PASSING
Passing - A good offensive attack requires
good passing from players. This helps find
an open man, to find a good shooter or to
get away from a defender. There are
several types of passes you need to learn:

• change-of-pace,
• crossover dribble,
• behind the back,
• pull back dribble,
• low dribble,
• basic dribble,
• between the legs dribble
 SHOOTING
Shooting - The object of the game is to
win by scoring the most points.
Therefore, improving the team's
shooting is important to win a game.
There are several ways to score in the
game:

• Jump Shot
• Dunk
• Alley oop
• Free throw
• Layup
• Three-Point Shot
• Hook Shot
REBOUND
Rebounding - is essential to
gain or regain possession
after the shot. Usually, the
team who has the most
number of rebounds after
the game has more shot
attempts and chances to
score.
OFFENSE
Offense - is the only chance that the
team has a shot at the basket and
scoring. Playing a good offense requires
coordination among players and
individual skill to execute well plays.

DEFENSE
Defense - To be able to get a chance to
score and gain possession, the team should
play good defense and try to stop their
opponent from scoring. As said, "A good
defense is a good offense."

PLAYERS
POSITION
BASKETBALL
Divided into Two
categories:
OUTER POSITION

POINT GUARD

SHOOTING GUARD

SMALL FORWARD

INNER POSITION

POWER FORWARD

CENTER
POINT GUARD
usually the fastest player on the team, organizes the team's offense by
controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right player at the right
time

SHOOTING GUARD
creates a high volume of shots on offense; guards the opponent's best perimeter
player on defense

SMALL FORWARD
often primarily responsible for scoring points via cuts to the basket and dribble
penetration; on defends seeks rebounds and steals, but sometimes play more
actively.
POWER FORWARD
plays offensively often with their back to the basket; on defense, plays
under the basket (in a zone defense) or against the opposing power
forward (in man to man defense)

CENTER
uses height and size to score (on offense), to protect the basket closely
(on defense), or to rebound

RULES FOR THE

OFFENSE
The basketball team on offense is

the team with the basketball. When

a player has the basketball there

are certain rules they must follow:

 1) The player must bounce, or dribble, the ball with one hand

while moving both feet. If, at any time, both hands touch the ball
or the player stops dribbling, the player must only move one

foot. The foot that is stationary is called the pivot foot.

2) The basketball player can only take one turn at dribbling. In other words, once

a player has stopped dribbling they cannot start another dribble. A player who

starts dribbling again is called for a double-dribbling violation and looses the

basketball to the other team. A player can only start another dribble after

another player from either team touches or gains control of the basketball. This

is usually after a shot or pass.

3) The ball must stay in bounds. If

the offensive team looses the ball

out of bounds the other team gets

control of the basketball.

 4) The players hand must be on top of the

ball while dribbling. If they touch the bottom

of the basketball while dribbling and

continue to dribble this is called carrying the

ball and the player will lose the ball to the

other team.
5) Once the offensive team crosses

half court, they may not go back

into the backcourt. This is called a

backcourt violation. If the defensive

team knocks the ball into the

backcourt, then the offensive team

can recover the ball legally.
