Most levels of sport from high school
and above use at least one scoreboard
for keeping score, measuring time, and
displaying statistics.

FUNCTION AND POSITIONS OF PLAYER

1. POINT GUARD – This player is typically the best dribbler and passer on the
team. The point guard is sometimes called the floor general, which indicates
the key role that the point guard plays.

2. Shooting guard - The shooting guard, also called the two guard, is typically a
team's best outside shooter on the team. This player flanks the point guard
and moves around the court to try to create some space to take a shot that is
uncontested by the opposition.

3. 3. Small forward - The small forward is typically a better outside shooter than
a power forward and is usually smaller than a power forward.

4. Power forward - The power forward is usually near the basket and moves from
one side of the basket to the other to try to get free from the opposition player
that is guarding him. Power forwards also are skilled rebounders.

5. Center - is the tallest player on the team. The center's role is to establish a
position near the basket to allow him/her an easy jump shot. On defense, the
center attempts to block shots and grab rebounds.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUE
PASS
Basic Passes
Chest pass: the chest pass is named so because the pass originates from the chest. It
is thrown by gripping the ball on the sides with the thumbs directly behind the ball.
When the pass thrown, the fingers are rotated behind the ball and the thumbs are
turned down. The resulting follow through has the back of the hands facing one
another with the thumbs straight down.
When throwing a chest pass, the players should strive to throw it to the
receiver’s chest level. Passes that go low to high or high to low are difficult to catch.

Bounce Pass: the bounce pass is thrown with the same motion; however it is aimed
at the floor. It should be thrown far enough out that the ball bounces waist high to the
receiver. Try to throw it ¾ of the way to the receiver, and may be a good reference
point to start, but each player has to experiment how far to throw it so bounces to the
receiver properly. Putting a proper and consistent backspin on the pass will make
distance easier to judge.
Overhead Pass: the overhead pass is often used as an outlet pass. Bring the ball
directly above your forehead with both hands on the side of the ball and follow
through. Aim for the teammate’s chin. Do not bring the ball behind your head,
because it can get stolen and it takes a split-second longer to follow to throw the
pass.
Baseball Pass: a baseball pass is a one-handed pass that uses the same motion as a
baseball throw. This is often used to make long passes. Be careful with young kids.
You don’t want them to throw their arms out.

DRIBBLING: it is used to advance the ball, break for a basket or maneuver out a
difficult situation.
The knees and trunk is slightly flexed, hands and eyes forward. Peripheral
vision is important. Do not look beyond the ball and see it in the lower part of the
visual area.
The ball is propelled by the fingertips with the hand cupped and relaxed.
There is a little arm motion. Push rather than slap the ball.
The dribbling should be alternate.

TEAM SPORTS - BASKETBALL

 P.E 8
Unit II
SHOOTING: the primary objective of the game is to score goals.
Both the toes and the shoulders face the basket. The weight is evenly
distributed on both feet. The ball is held between the shoulder and eye level.
A comfortable grip, with fingers well spread and the ball resting on the pads
of the fingers is essential. One should be able to see daylight between the palm of
the hand and the ball.
The eye is fixed on the target (the rim of the backboard) for the rest of the
shot. As the shot starts, the wrist is cocked.
The follow-through imparts a slight backspin to the ball. The arms are fully
extended, and wrist is completely flexed, and the hand drops down towards the
floor. The arch should be 45 degrees or a little higher.

PIVOTING: a maneuver that protects the ball by keeping the body between the ball
and the defensive player.
The ball is held firmly in both hands, with elbows out to protect it.
One foot, the pivot foot, must always be in contact with the floor, turning on
that foot is permitted, but it must not be dragged away from the pivot spot. The lead
foot may, however, step in any direction.
BASIC RULES
The winner of a basketball game is the team with the most points. You get
points by throwing the basketball through the opponent's hoop or basket. In regular
play a basket made from within the three point line is worth 2 points and a basket
shot from outside the three point line is worth three points. When shooting a free
throw, each free throw is worth 1 point.
RULES FOR THE OFFENSE
The basketball team on offense is the team with the basketball. When a player
has the basketball there are certain rules they must follow:
1) The player must bounce, or dribble, the ball with one hand while moving both
feet. If, at any time, both hands touch the ball or the player stops dribbling, the
player must only move one foot. The foot that is stationary is called the pivot foot.
2) The basketball player can only take one turn at dribbling. In other words, once a
player has stopped dribbling they cannot start another dribble. A player who starts
dribbling again is called for a double-dribbling violation and looses the basketball
to the other team. A player can only start another dribble after another player from

TEAM SPORTS - BASKETBALL

 P.E 8
Unit II
either team touches or gains control of the basketball. This is usually after a shot or
pass.
3) The ball must stay in bounds. If the offensive team looses the ball out of bounds
the other team gets control of the basketball.
4) The players hand must be on top of the ball while dribbling. If they touch the
bottom of the basketball while dribbling and continue to dribble this is called
carrying the ball and the player will lose the ball to the other team.
5) Once the offensive team crosses half court, they may not go back into the
backcourt. This is called a backcourt violation. If the defensive team knocks the ball
into the backcourt, then the offensive team can recover the ball legally.
DEFENSIVE RULES
The team on defense is the team without the basketball.
1) The main rule for the defensive player is not to foul. A foul is described as gaining
an unfair advantage through physical contact. There is some interpretation that has
to be made by the referee, but, in general, the defensive player may not touch the
offensive player in a way that causes the offensive player to lose the ball or miss a
shot.
RULES FOR EVERYONE
1) Although the foul rule is described above as a defensive rule, it applies exactly
the same to all players on the court including offensive players.
2) Basketball players cannot kick the ball or hit it with their fist.
3) No player can touch the basketball while it is traveling downward towards the
basket or if it is on the rim. This is called goaltending. (touching the ball on the rim is
legal in some games). Every player on the court is subject to the same rules
regardless of the position they play. The positions in basketball are just for team
basketball strategy and there are no positions in the rules.

COMMON BASKETBALL FOULS AND VIOLATIONS
Over the course of a basketball game, odds are that, as a player, you will
commit a foul or two. These rules keep the fast-paced, high-energy game safe, fair
and fun. Regardless, avoiding committing fouls is best because you don’t want to
find yourself in foul trouble late in the game, or even ―foul out‖ (removed from play)
after committing five fouls.
PERSONAL FOULS
HOLDING
When a player uses their hands to grab their opponent to
impede or prevent them from moving or advancing with or without
the ball.

ILLEGAL OR ―MOVING‖ PICK/SCREEN

When a player fails to maintain a set position
while setting a screen or pick. Screens must be
performed in a standstill manner.

HAND CHECK
When a player continually uses their hands on an
opposing player. This foul is typically called on
defenders at the perimeter to keep a safe distance
between the ballhandler and the basket.

ILLEGAL HAND USE OR ―REACHING IN‖

Similar to holding, this is when a player uses their
hands in a fashion that referees deem illegal, typically in
the form of touching a shooter’s arm or hand through their
release or touching after an attempted steal.

TEAM SPORTS - BASKETBALL

 P.E 8
Unit II
TRIPPING
When a player uses their leg or foot to throw off their
opponent’s balance.

ELBOWING
When a player excessively swings
their elbows and hits another player.

CHARGING
When an offensive player makes contact with a defender who has established
position in front of an offensive player with or
without the basketball and is not moving. Some
courts, especially those used for youth
basketball, make this call easier to identify by
having a ―charge circle‖ marked below the
basket. If a defender is outside the circle with
their feet planted, it is a charge.

BLOCKING
When a defender makes contact with an offensive
player without establishing position, without giving proper
space or is in the charge circle.

TECHINCAL FOUL
When a player or coach displays unsportsmanlike
behavior, such as foul language, obscene gestures or
arguing. Two technical fouls will result in ejection from the
game.
FLAGRANT FOUL
When a player performs an act of violence that can
seriously injure or harm others on the court. This can be
unintentional or deliberate. Flagrant fouls can also result in
player ejections at the referee’s discretion

TEAM SPORTS - BASKETBALL

 P.E 8
Unit II
VIOLATIONS
TRAVELING
When a player takes more than two steps between
dribbles or without dribbling the basketball. Traveling can
also occur when a player who has picked up the dribble
switches his or her pivot foot.
PALMING
When a player dribbles the basketball in a manner
that has their palm too far to the side or underneath the
basketball.

DOUBLE DRIBBLE
When a player picks up their dribble to establish
their position and then restarts their dribble, or when a
player dribbles the basketball with two hands at the same
time.

HELD BALL
When two players gain possession of the ball and
a brief battle for the basketball occurs. The referee will
award possession to one team, alternating which team
gets the ball each subsequent time it occurs.

BACKCOURT OR ―OVER & BACK‖

When an offensive player brings the
basketball over the half-court line and then
retreats back over mid court during their
possession.

TEAM SPORTS - BASKETBALL

 P.E 8
Unit II
KICKING
When a player kicks the basketball.

FREE THROW VIOLATIONS

Every player must remain in place until the ball is shot by
the free throw shooter. If the offense travels into the free throw
lane prior to the shooter’s release of the ball, then the shot does
not count. If the defense ventures into the free throw lane too
early, then another shot attempt is awarded to the shooter, if they
miss.

VARIOUS TIME RESTRICTIONS

 3-Second Violation: Offensive players cannot stand in the key

for more than three seconds.

 5-Second Violation (Inbounding): A player must inbound the

basketball within five seconds after the referee hands it to
them to avoid a turnover.

 10-Second Violation: Players must advance the

basketball over the mid-court line within 10 seconds
to avoid a turnover.
