 BASKETBALL:
POSITIONS AND
ROLES
CENTRE
-The centre is usually the team’s tallest and strongest
player and is positioned under the basket.
- On the offensive play, most centres do not
consistently score midrange or beyond the arch.
Instead, most of their points should be from
offensive rebounds and are also required to block
defenders to open other players up for driving to the
basket.
- On the defence, the centre is responsible for
keeping the opponent from shooting by blocking
shots and passes in the vital area. They’re also
expected to fight for rebounds as they’re usually
taller physically.
 BASKETBALL:
POSITIONS AND ROLES
POWER FORWARD
- Power Forwards are usually the second tallest in
the team and are the closest to the centre in
terms of physical attributes and playing style
but with more speed.
- They are often the most versatile player, being
able to score in the paint as well as being able to
shoot from midrange. It will be more effective if
they’re able to land a three-point consistently.
- Defensively, they are required to have the
strength to guard bigger players close to the
basket.
 BASKETBALL:
POSITIONS AND
ROLES
SMALL FORWARD
- the shorter of the two forwards on the team
but plays the most versatile role out of the
main five positions.
- He must have enough height and the ability to
play on the inside as well as agility to play on
the outside, similar to a shooting guard.
- Small Forwards are usually the second or third
best shooters on the team and should be able
to do a little bit of everything on the court.
 BASKETBALL:
POSITIONS AND
ROLES
SHOOTING GUARD
- the shortest player on the team and
the team’s best outside shooter.
- the Shooting Guard needs to be
good at dribbling fast, passing and
having court vision by seeing the
court.
- He is also responsible for driving
the ball down the court and setting
up offensive plays.
 BASKETBALL:
POSITIONS AND
ROLES
POINT GUARD

- usually the shortest but the best ball handler on

the team. Also known as the ‘coach on the
floor’ or the ‘floor general’, a point guard is
responsible for directing plays.
- He needs to have good court vision to create
open shots for the receivers as well as drive the
ball down the court and initiate offensive plays
- Point Guards need to have an excellent long-
distance shooting, though it’s not quite as
crucial as for shooting guards, some point
guards take as many shots as shooting guards.
 BASKETBALL: RULES AND REGULATIONS

Rules for the offense:

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.
 BASKETBALL: RULES AND REGULATIONS

Rules for the offense:

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.
 BASKETBALL: RULES AND REGULATIONS
Defensive rules:
The team on defense is the team without the basketball.

- The main rule for the defensive player is not to foul. A foul is described as
gaining an unfair advantage through physical contact. There is some interpretation
that has to be made by the referee, but, in general, the defensive player may not
touch the offensive player in a way that causes the offensive player to lose the ball
or miss a shot.
 BASKETBALL: RULES AND REGULATIONS
Rules for everyone:
1.Although the foul rule is described above as a defensive rule, it applies exactly the same to all
players on the court including offensive players.
2.Basketball players cannot kick the ball or hit it with their fist.
3.No player can touch the basketball while it is traveling downward towards the basket or if it is on
the rim. This is called goaltending. (touching the ball on the rim is legal in some games).

Every player on the court is subject to the same rules regardless of the position they play. The
positions in basketball are just for team basketball strategy and there are no positions in the rules.
