Basketball Study Guide Objective: When A Player Is In-Bounding The Ball, The Player May NOT

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. Common fouls are holding, charging, blocking, and pushing.

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.

the basket.

(layup or jump shot).
