Basketball Rules

SCORING:

* 2 point field goal- a shot made from anywhere during play inside the 3 pt arc.
* 3 point field goal- a shot made from anywhere outside the 3 pt arc.
* Free throw- 1 point is awarded to an unguarded shot taken from behind the free throw line while the clock is stopped.

SKILLS:

* Boxing out- a player’s position between an opposing player and the basket to obtain a better rebounding position.
* Dribbling- bouncing the ball with 1 hand using your fingertips instead of your palm so that it rebounds back to yourself (the only legal way to move with the ball)
* Passing- moving the ball by throwing, bouncing, handing, or rolling it to another player (Chest, Bounce, Lob)
* Shooting- throwing the ball to make a basket
* Pivoting- stepping once or more in any direction with the same foot while holding the other foot at its initial point.
* Rebounding- The recovering of a shot that bounces off the backboard or the rim.

FOULS: results in one or more free throws awarded to the opposing team

* Blocking- impeding the progress of an opponent by extending one or both arms horizontally or getting in the path of a moving player.
* Charging- running into a stationary player while you are moving with the ball.
* Hacking- the player hits the arm or hand of the person holding the ball.
* Holding- the player holds the person with or without the ball.

VIOLATIONS: results in a change of possession with the team in bounding the ball at the side line opposite where the infringement took place

* Traveling- moving illegally with the ball
* Three seconds- an offensive player remains in the key (free throw lane- the area under the basket) for more than 3 seconds
* Double dribble- a player dribbles the ball with both hands at the same time or they stop and then start dribbling again

TERMS:

* Air ball- a shot that completely misses the rim and the backboard
* Assist- a pass to a teammate who then scores a field goal.
* Defense- team trying to stop the other team from scoring
* Dunk- to throw the ball down into the basket with the hand above the level of the rim
* Fast break- dribbling or passing the ball towards your basket before the defense can set up
* Man-to-man- a defensive strategy where everyone guards an assigned player
* Offense- team trying to score
* Turn over- any loss of the ball without a shot being taken
* Zone defense- a defensive strategy where everyone guards an area instead of a player (2-1-2, 2-3)

Answer 3

i agree how did you get on the team...anyway it's kind of hard to explain just keep dribbling and try to get the ball in the basket with out the other team getting it. I don't know how to explain all of the plays you'll have to learn by watching somebody.

Answer 4

Yea, just put that orange ball thingy... you know... up inside the hoopy thing, then you'll get a goalie. And don't just hold it when you're running...

apparently that's BAD!

Answer 5
