The Court
The Game
The Game
Each game is divided into sections.
Each half is twenty minutes long. In the
pros, quarters are twelve minutes long.
If the score is tied at the end of regulation,
then overtime is played until a winner
emerges.
Each team is assigned a basket or goal to
defend. At halftime, the teams switch
goals.
The game begins with one player from
either team at center court.
A referee will toss the ball up between the
two. The player that gets his hands on the
ball will tip it to a teammate.
This is called a tip-off. In addition to
stealing the ball from an opposing player,
there are other ways for a team to get the
ball.
THE COURT

THE COURT IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MAIN

SECTIONS BY THE MID-COURT LINE. THE
BALL IS MOVED DOWN THE COURT
TOWARD THE BASKET BY PASSING OR
DRIBBLING. THE TEAM WITH THE BALL IS
CALLED THE OFFENSE. THE TEAM
WITHOUT THE BALL IS CALLED THE
DEFENSE. THEY TRY TO STEAL THE BALL,
CONTEST SHOTS, STEAL AND DEFLECT
PASSES, AND GARNER REBOUNDS.
SCORING
WHEN A TEAM MAKES A BASKET,
THEY SCORE TWO POINTS AND
THE BALL GOES TO THE OTHER
TEAM. IF A BASKET, OR FIELD
GOAL, IS MADE OUTSIDE OF THE
THREE-POINT ARC, THEN THAT
BASKET IS WORTH THREE POINTS.
A FREE THROW IS WORTH ONE
POINT.
Free Throws
Awarded to a team according to the
number of fouls committed in a half and/or
the type of foul committed.
Fouling a shooter always results in two or
three free throws being awarded.
If beyond the three-point line when fouled
three shots awarded.
Other types of fouls do not result in free
throws being awarded until a certain
number have accumulated during a half.
Player Positions
Center
Forward
Guard
 Center
Centers are generally your tallest players. They
generally are positioned near the basket
Offensive -- The center's goal is to get open for a
pass and to shoot. They block defenders, to open
other players up for driving to the basket for a
goal.
Defensive -- the center's main responsibility is to
keep opponents from shooting by blocking shots
and passes in the key area. They also are expected
to get a lot of rebounds because they're taller.
 Forward
Your next tallest players. May be called upon to
play under the hoop, they may also be required to
operate in the wings and corner areas.
Offensive -- responsible to get free for a pass, take
outside shots, drive for goals, and rebound.
Defensive -- Responsibilities include preventing
drives to the goal and rebounding.
 Guard
These are potentially your shortest players and they
should be really good at dribbling fast, seeing the
court, and passing. It is their job to bring the ball down
the court and set up offensive plays.
Offensive -- Dribbling, passing, and setting up
offensive plays. They also need to be able to drive to
the basket and to shoot from the perimeter.
Defensive -- Responsible for stealing passes,
contesting shots, preventing drives to the hoop, and
for boxing out.

Personal Foul Penalties
Personal fouls
Any type of illegal physical contact: Hitting
Pushing, Slapping, Holding, Illegal pick/screen
(when an offensive player is moving) When an
offensive player sticks out a limb and makes
physical contact with a defender in an attempt to
block the path of the defender.
Personal fouls penalties
If a player is shooting while a being fouled, then he gets two free
throws
Inbounds. If fouled while not shooting, the ball is given to the
team the foul was committed upon. They get the ball at the
nearest side or baseline, out of bounds, and have 5 seconds to
pass the ball onto the court.
One & one. If the team committing the foul has seven or more
fouls in the game, then the player who was fouled is awarded one
free throw. If he makes his first shot, then he is awarded another
free throw.
Ten or more fouls. If the team committing the foul has ten or
more fouls, then the fouled player receives two free throws
Charging:
committed when a player pushes or runs over a defensive player. The ball is
given to the team that the foul was committed upon.
Blocking:
illegal personal contact resulting from a defender not establishing position in
time to prevent an opponent's drive to the basket.
Flagrant foul:
violent contact with an opponent. Includes hitting, kicking, and punching. This
type of foul results in free throws plus the offense retaining possession of the ball
after the free throws.
Intentional foul:
a player makes physical contact with another player with no reasonable effort to
steal the ball. It is a judgment call for the officials.
Technical foul:
does not involve player contact or the ball but is instead about the 'manners' of
the game. Foul language, obscenity, obscene gestures, and even arguing
Violations
Walking/Traveling:
Taking more than 'a step and a half' without dribbling the ball. Moving your pivot foot
once you've stopped dribbling.
Carrying/palming:
When a player dribbles the ball with his hand too far to the side of or, sometimes, even
under the ball.
Double Dribble:
Dribbling the ball with both hands on the ball at the same time or picking up the
dribble and then dribbling.
Held ball:
Occasionally, two or more opposing players will gain possession of the ball at the same
time. The referee stops the action and awards the ball to one team or the other on a
rotating basis.
Goaltending:
when a defensive player interferes with a shot while it's on the way down toward the
basket, while it's on the way up toward the basket after having touched the backboard,
or while it's in the cylinder above the rim. If committed by an offensive player, it's a
violation and the ball is awarded to the opposing team for a throw-in.
Backcourt violation:
offense has brought the ball across the mid-court line, they
cannot go back across the line during possession. If they do,
the ball is awarded to the other team to pass inbound.
Time restrictions. A player passing the ball inbound has five
seconds to pass the ball. If he does not, then the ball is
awarded to the other team. Other time restrictions include the
rule that a player cannot have the ball for more than five
seconds when being closely guarded and, in some states and
levels, shot-clock restrictions requiring a team to attempt a
shot within a given time frame.
