The history of basketball began with its invention in 1891 in

Springfield, Massachusetts by Canadian physical education

instructor James Naismith as a less injury-prone sport than
football.
Basketball, game played between two teams of five players
each on a rectangular court, usually indoors. Each team tries
to score by tossing the ball through the opponent’s goal, an
elevated horizontal hoop and net called a basket.The ball
maybe passed, dribbled, thrown, rolled and tapped nside
the court.
Passing - giving the ball to a teammate.
Receiving - the act of getting the ball from a teammate.
Shooting- the act of throwing the ball to the basket.
Dribbling - is the legal method of advancing the ball by
oneself, as opposed to passing it to another player or
shooting for the basket. It consists of bouncing the ball on the
floor continuously with one hand while walking or running
down the court.
Rebounding-regaining the ball from the unsuccessful basket.

1. High Dribbling skills:
2. Low Dribbling 1. run to the front court asap
3. Between the legs 2. run to the front of the rim
4. Behing the back 3. practice drills
4. make contact before your
opponent
5. start moving as the
shooter is uncoiling
 Alive Ball and Dead Ball
• Alive Ball-the ball is in play
-After the release of the
ball during the jump ball.
-After the release of the
ball during the inbound.
- After the unsuccessful
basket during the free

basketball. Two opposing players attempt to gain control of
the ball after it is tossed up into the air in between them by
an official.
 Fouls / Violations

 What are Technical Fouls ?

A technical foul (also colloquially known as a "T" or a "Tech")

is any infraction of the rules penalized as a foul which does
not involve physical contact during the course of play between
opposing players on the court, or is a foul by a non-player.
The most common technical foul is for unsportsmanlike
conduct. Technical fouls can be assessed against players,
bench personnel, the entire team
 What is a Flagrant Foul ?

• In basketball, a flagrant foul is a serious personal foul.

A foul is considered flagrant when it involves
excessive or violent contact that could injure the
fouled player. A flagrant foul may be unintentional or
purposeful; the latter type is simultaneously known as
an "intentional foul" in the NBA.

• In the National Basketball Association (NBA), the court is 94
by 50 feet (28.7 by 15.2 m). Under International Basketball
Federation (FIBA) rules, the court is minutely smaller,
measuring exactly 28 by 15 metres (91.9 by 49.2 ft). A high
school court is slightly smaller, at 84 by 50 feet (25.6 by 15.2
m).
• The point guard (PG), also called the one or point, is one of
the five positions in a regulation basketball game. ... Point
guards are expected to run the team's offense by controlling
the ball and making sure that it gets to the right players at
the right time.
• The shooting guard (SG), also known as the two or off guard,
is one of the five positions in a regulation basketball game. A
shooting guard's main objective is to score points for his
team
• The small forward (SF), also known as the three, is one of
the five positions in a regulation basketball game. Small
forwards are typically somewhat shorter, quicker, and leaner
than power forwards and centers, but on occasion are just
as tall
• Power forwards play a role similar to that of center in what
is called the "post" or "low blocks". They typically play
offensively with their backs towards the basket and
position themselves defensively under the basket in a
zone defense or against the opposing power forward in
man-to-man defense.
• The center (C), also known as the five or the big man, is
one of the five positions in a regular basketball game. The
center is normally the tallest player on the team, and often
has a great deal of strength and body mass as well.
• Wing players are usually the leading scorers on their team -
they normally get the most shots, and there are a lot of
basketball plays run specifically for them through the
offense. On the defensive end a team's “defensive stopper”
is usually a wing as well.
• The objective of the game is to put the ball in the
opposing team’s basket.
• The team with the most points at the end of the game
wins.
• The game consists of four periods of 10 minutes.
• If the scores are tied, overtime periods of five minutes will
be played until one team has more points than the other
(at the end of the 5-minute period)
• basket scored from near the basket (inside the three-point
arc) is worth two points.
• A basket scored from far (beyond the three-point arc) is
worth three points.
• A basket scored from the free-throw line is worth one point.
• The ball may either be passed from one player to another,
or dribbled by a player from one point to another
(bounced while walking or running).
• Before passing or shooting the ball, a player may take two
steps (without dribbling).
• Once a player has stopped dribbling, he may not start to
dribble again.
• Once the team in possession of the ball has passed the
half-court line, it may cross back over the line with the ball.
5 Things every basketball wing player should know:

• 1. Learn to be efficient
• 2. Score within the offense
• 3. Find easy scoring opportunities
• 4. Give the ball up
• 5. Add more value to your team than just scoring
