    Basketball is a game of keep-away where teams score by shooting the ball into the basket. A game starts with a jump ball between centers at center court, and each team has 5 players - usually 2 guards, 2 forwards, and 1 center. Scoring includes 2 points for a basket, 1 point for a free throw, and 3 points for a shot behind the 3 point arc. Violations like traveling, being in the lane for too long, or double dribbling result in a turnover. Fouls involve personal contact and penalties include free throws.

    BASKETBALL STUDY GUIDE

    OBJECTIVE
    Basketball is simply a game of keep-away with the additional challenge of trying to
    shoot the ball into the basket. The team with the most points wins.

    HOW TO START GAME


    The game starts with a jump ball usually between the two centers of both teams.
    The jump ball is taken from the center court circle.

    PLAYERS
    Each team has 5 players: usually 2 guards, 2 forwards, and 1 center.

    SCORING
     A basket is worth 2 points
     Free throw – 1 point
     A shot behind the 3 point arc is worth 3 points
    (After a successful made basket the ball is then taken out by the other team.)

    VIOLATIONS
     A violation is a minor rule infraction, which does not involve personal contact
    with an opponent.
     When a violation occurs the ball is turned over to the opposing team.

    When a player is in-bounding the ball, the player may NOT:


     Leave the spot where the referee gives you the ball
     Take longer than 5 seconds to make and inbound throw
     Carry the ball on the court

    Most Frequent Violations called are:


     Traveling – a player running with the ball without dribbling
     Offensive player being in the lane fro more than 3 seconds.
     Double Dribble – a player dribbling the ball with both hands at the same time
    or dribbling the ball, then stopping to pick the ball up and then continuing to
    dribble again.
     Kicking the ball

    FOULS AND PENALTIES


     A foul is an infraction that involves personal contact with an opponent.
     Unsportsmanlike conduct is also a foul.
     You are allowed 5 fouls per game and when a player receives their fifth foul
    they are not allowed to play in the game anymore.

    The most common fouls are:


     Holding – using hands, arms to restrict the movement of an opponent.
     Charging – a dribbler or shooter moving into an opponent who has
    established defensive position.
     Blocking – a defensive player impeding the progress of an opponent by
    extending an arm, leg, knee, hip or other part of the body.
     Pushing – using the hands, arms or body to push an opponent.

    B.E.E.F. Shooting Techniques

    BALANCE: Dominant foot slightly ahead of the other foot and it is centered towards
    the basket.

    EYES: Eyes focused on the rim or backboard depending on what type of sot you take
    (layup or jump shot).

    ELBOWS: Shooting elbow is tucked under the ball and is in line with the dominant
    foot.

    FOLLOW THROUGH: Extend elbow towards the basket, snap wrist and pretend to
    stick hand inside of the basket.

    TYPES OF DEFENSE
    Man-to-Man – Where players guard a certain player from the other team.
    Zone Defense – Where a player is responsible for defending an area on the court.

    TYPES OF PASSES
    Chest Pass
    Bounce Pass
