basket made from within the three point line is worth 2 points and a basket shot from
outside the three point line is worth three points. When shooting a free throw, each
free throw is worth 1 point.
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 loses 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.
Defensive Rules
The team on defence is the team without the basketball.
1) 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.
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 travelling 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.
