INTRODUCTION
The popularity of basketball is such that is now enjoys a truly global status, played and
watched by an estimated 300 million people.
As well as grassroots interest at amateur level, most countries now have national
federations that organize not only professional leagues for men and women, but also formal
competitive leagues for boys and girls of all ages.
National teams also compete at this global level and club teams contest world
championships, as well as championships for European, Asian, African, and Pan American

4
geographical areas. The most famous, wealthy, and hotly contested league in the world is run
by the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the United States.
As well as the able-bodied “running” game, there is also a thriving wheelchair game that
has its own world championships and other competitions that are run along the same lines as
the able-bodied game.
Basketball is also one of the most popular and keenly contested Olympic sports, and
the popularity of the original U.S. “Dream Team” in 1992 was a story that has become part of
Olympic Games’ legend.

THE ORIGINS OF THE GAME

The game today has inevitably evolved and improved since its inception in 1891 in
Springfield, Massachusetts, home now to the Basketball Hall of Fame. The man who created
this immediately successful sport was the Canadian Dr. James Naismith, who had sought to
find a team game suitable for indoor play during the harsh winter months of the northern United
States. Drawing on an activity he had learned as a child, Naismith developed basketball’s
original 13 rules and, consequently the game itself. However, Naismith regarded himself as a
physical educator and academic and never sought to profit from his great invention. He
received his greatest compliment in 1936 when basketball became an Olympic sport at the
Berlin games. Naismith died in 1939. Basketball Before the NBA(1891-1950): A Brief History -

THE GAME
Basketball as we know it now is a fast, dynamic sport played by great athletes who
need to have the total fitness package in order to play the game successfully at the highest
levels. However, it is as enjoyable as a recreational pastime as when played by serious
professionals.

Scoring and Fouls

Basketball is usually played indoors by a team of five players and lasts for 40 minutes
(professional and international) or 48 minutes (United States’ NBA league rules). In both
versions of the game, the total time is divided into four equal quarters with a 15-minute break at
halftime. A whole basketball team, however, is comprised of 10 players (12 in the NBA), which
allows for five (or seven NBA) substitutes to be used during the course of the game.
Basketball is almost unique in its high scoring system, which makes for exciting games
and nail-biting pressure. The other feature of the scoring is that no game can be tied. So when
scores are tied, five-minute periods of overtime are played until one team wins.
The basket itself is a bottomless net hanging off a metal ring, 18 in (46 cm) in diameter,
and attached to a backboard 10 ft (3.05 m) above the floor. Each basket, or “field goal,” scores
two points, or three points if shot from behind a line nearly 24 ft (7.3 m) from the basket. Teams
must attempt a shot within 24 seconds of getting the ball (NBA and FIBA rules); otherwise, it is
handed over to the opposition.
Any player making illegal body contact with an opposing player is judged to have
committed a foul; when this happens, the opposing team may be given possession of the ball,
or an opposing player is awarded free throws at the basket from the foul line. Each made foul
shot is worth one point. Players who exceed the foul limit (usually five, but six in the NBA) are
disqualified from the game.
Scoring is affected by the rules governing fouls. Most contact that is deemed by the
referees(of whom there are two in international play and three in the NBA) to

5
be either deliberate or that places an opponent at a disadvantage is penalized by a personal
foul being levied against the offending player. These fouls may result in the opposing team
being given. the ball or an opposing player being given free throws from the foul line. A player
who accumulates five fouls (six in the NBA) is ejected from the game.
Unsportsmanlike and more serious offenses are penalized by a “technical foul,” often
given for dissent and punishable by a free throw. Technical fouls can also be levied against
coaches. A coach who gets two of these in a game is disqualified from the contest and must
leave the court.

Skills
As well as learning the rules, all players must master the basic skills of the game. The
skills contained in this book are the individual techniques that form the basis of the game and
are the ones that every player must acquire in order to be able to participate in the game
effectively. The fundamentals of passing, dribbling, shooting, rebounding, and defensive
footwork are covered. Professional players will spend countless hours refining these essentials,
and serious players engage in a regular schedule of repetitious practice for several years
working on the premise that “only perfect practice makes perfect” and that “perfect practice
makes permanent.” Only through this dedication can players compete to their full potential.

The Players and Court

There are three main positions on the court: the guards, the forwards, and the centers.
Usually the guards are the shorter members of the team, and the centers are the tallest.
Centers tend to play nearer the basket, while the more agile forwards and guards occupy areas
of the court farther away from the basket area. The guards tend to do most of the ball handling
and longer-range shooting, with the forwards typically driving to the basket from the wings. An
NBA court is shown below (the FIBA international version uses a different 3-second area and
3-point line).

6
Point Guard
This is the most important (and difficult) position on the court for offensive moves. The
player must be unselfish, willing to pass to teammates, yet be able to score himself, set up
offensive plays, work out, and do what is best for the team at any given moment, as well as
being a great dribbler and a good shooter.

Shooting Guard
The shooting guard must be very agile and a good long-distance shooter. The player
should be a good ball handler and be able to work quickly and accurately.

Small Forward
This position requires an unselfish player who can not only shoot from the outside but
can also make good cuts to the basket with and without the ball. This player is usually a
superior athlete.

Power Forward
The power forward must be a strong, athletic player who is a good rebounder and
competent scorer from n and around the 3-second lane. This position demands a great deal of
strength, meaning the player is often involved in the more physical side of the game, such as
defense. Picking up offensive and defensive rebounds is another key skill.

Center
The center is the most physical of all the five positions. Offensively, it requires an ability
to score from close range while in close physical contact with the opposition’s defense.
Defensively, the center is the most important position, as he or she is the last line of defense
against opponents driving toward the basket, so he or she must be able to block shots and be
an excellent rebounder, turning defense into offense.
In the modern game, however, all players tend to be able to do almost everything and have
become excellent all-rounders rather than specialists in one position only.

Equipment
You will need the right footwear and clothing to play basketball, though equipment is
minimal. Basketball shoes, with the laces tied up properly, athletic socks, loose-fitting shorts,
and a T-shirt are all you need. Obviously, you will also need a ball. There are various
basketballs available. The regulation full-size ball is a size 7, though a size 6 ball is used in the
Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and by many female competitions. Also, the
size 5 mini-basketball is often used in underage competitions. Balls come in a variety of
materials, such as rubber, synthetic leather, and full-grain leather, and prices vary
tremendously. Choose one to suit your age and size and make sure you look after it
A basket and a ball are all you need to start practicing shooting some hoops in your backyard.

Rules of the game

The original 13 rules of basketball.

1. The ball can be thrown in any direction with one or both hands
2. The ball can be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but never with the fist.
3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must thrown it from the spot on where he
catches it.
4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for
holding it.  
5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an
opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any player shall count as
a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or, if there was
evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed.
6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3 and 4, and such as
described in Rule 5.
7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents
(consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul).  
8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket
and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If
the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a
goal.  

12
9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person
first touching it. In case of a dispute, the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The
thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If
any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on that side. 
10. The umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee
when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify men
according to Rule 5.  
11. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in
bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal
has been made and keep account of the goals with any other duties that are usually
performed by a referee.  
12. The time shall be two 15-minute halves, with five minutes' rest between.  
13. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In case of a
draw, the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is
made.  
Note: The original rules of basketball were written by Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 in
Springfield, Massachusetts. These original rules were published in January 1892 in the
Springfield college school newspaper, the triangle.

Introduction

The main reason for including conditioning in your training sessions is to prepare to the
athletes so that they are ready to meet the demands and requirements for the basketball in the
game environment.

Basketball requires players to display high levels of speed, strength, power, and
flexibility and then repeat efforts time and time again during the game.

Discussion

Importance of dynamic warmups in basketball

 What is a Dynamic Warm-Up?

 At CORE Physical Therapy, we recommend what’s known as a
“dynamic” warm-up. This is a specific sequence of movements that you
can do prior to your physical activity. The goal is to increase blood flow,

14
get the muscles properly stretched out, increase flexibility and improve
functional mobility in your joints.
 A dynamic warm-up is certainly more than jogging in place for a few
minutes or doing a few simple static stretches on the sideline. Static
stretches can help a little before exercise, but they are generally more
effective after the workout.
Improving Strength & Athleticism

Another major benefit of the dynamic warm up is the increased strength

and athleticism.  Genetics play the biggest role in athleticism, but there
are improvements you can make by implementing exercises to improve
balance, spatial awareness, coordination (hands and feet), strength,
flexibility, and body control.
1. Forward backward runs

 Skipping is good for coordination, rhythm, and a light calf stretch.  When
running, make sure following good running form (upper body straight, don’t let
knees buckle, and keep hips/knees/feet aligned).

High knee runs

 Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Lift up your left knee to your chest.
 Switch to lift your right knee to your chest. Continue the movement,
alternating legs and moving at a sprinting or running pace.

15
Kick butt run

 Stand up straight with your legs slightly wider than your hips. Bring one heel off the
floor toward your glutes. At the same time, match this movement with the opposite-
side hand coming up towards your shoulder, like you’re running.

 Repeat this movement on the other side, again with the opposite arm coming up
towards your shoulder. Continue the exercise at your desired speed -- move slowly
to strengthen or quickly to boost cardio.

Carioca

 Skip the right leg over the left, then left over the right leg
 Stay light on your feet
 Drive one knee up for more hip activation

Torso lunge twist

 Stand with feet about shoulder-width apart.

16
 If you're using a medicine ball, hold it in front of you with elbows bent about 90 degrees.
If you're just starting out, you may want to perform the move without weights until you
build up your strength. (if don’t have a medicine ball you can use any ball just to
perform the activity or even with a ball you can still perform it.)
 With your right foot, step forward into a basic lunge position. As you bend your knee, be
sure to keep your knee over your right foot (don't twist at the knee).
 From your midsection, twist your upper body to the right. Keep your core engaged and
squeeze your glutes.
 Reach across your right side with your arms outstretched.
 In a slow, controlled movement, bring your arms back to the center.
 Step the right foot back and return to your starting position.

Greatest stretch

 Begin in a plank position with hands below shoulders.

 Step your left foot towards the outside of your left hand
 Now move your left elbow inside towards your left foot.
 Continue the movement by moving your left hand outside of your left foot and rotate
and reach towards the ceiling.

17
High leg kick

 Stand tall with your legs straight and arms hanging at your sides.
 Kick one leg straight out in front of you while reaching for it with the opposite hand.
Return the leg to the ground to repeat on the opposite side.

Power skips

 Start standing with feet hip distance apart

 Lift right knee and spring up off your left foot, hopping into the air. Switch. Continue in
a “skipping” motion in place for desired amount of time.

Defensive slides

 Keep your butt down and stay in an athletic stance the whole time.
 Don't allow yourself to cross your feet over.

18
Jump squats

 Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

 Start by doing a regular squat, engage your core, and jump up explosively.
 When you land, lower your body back into the squat position to complete one rep. Make
sure you land with your entire foot on the ground. Be sure to land as quietly as possible,
which requires control.

Single leg hops

 Setup in a comfortable athletic position with the feet at roughly shoulder width apart and
your arms by your sides.
 Shift your weight to one leg and lift the unsupported leg off the floor.
 Descend quickly to a quarter squat position and extend your arms behind your torso.
 Drive upwards and land softly by absorbing the impact with the hips and knees.
 Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

19
Split jumps

 Stand tall with your feet hip distance apart. Hands are in front of the chest hand on fist.
Take a large step forward with one foot and lower your body toward the floor. Both legs
should be bent at a 90-degree angle at the bottom of the lunge.
Lower the back knee slightly and jump to switch the feet.  While in the air front foot comes back
and back foot comes to the front.  Land in a bent knee lunge. Repeat

Foot fires

 Start standing with arms at the chest and hands in fists.

 Alternate running fast in place between your two feet.  Stay on the balls of your feet and
keep feet low to the ground moving as fast as possible. Run for desired amount of time.

20
Reminder before doing Dynamic Exercises

 Make sure to do proper posture.

 Proper form
 Proper execution of the exercises to prevent injury to the muscle and ligaments.

UNIT 3: EXERCISE FOR BASKETBALL

Course learning outcomes

At the of this course, the student shall be able to:

 Discuss the proper exercise in basketball.

 Demonstrate different exercises in basketball.
 Appreciate the proper exercise in basketball.
Introduction

 Basketball is demanding sport that involves a huge variety of different

movements such as running, jumping, shuffle defensively and sudden change of
direction.

Exercises for basketball

Lateral lunge

 lunge, and indeed the reverse lunge, are fantastic lower-body exercises, but they have
one serious flaw – they only require you to move forwards and backwards.

22
Side or lateral lunge

1. Start standing tall, feet hip-width distance apart.

2. Take a wide step out to the left. Bend your left knee as you push your hips back. ...
3. Push off with your left leg to return to standing.
4. Perform 10 to 12 lunges on the left side before switching to the right.

Glute Bridge

 Glute Bridge is one of the most effective exercises to tone the glutes and the
hamstrings. This lower body workout isolates and strengthens the glutes, hamstrings,
the core stability muscles, the hip muscles, the lower back muscles, and strengthens
the stabilization of the spinal cord.

How to do Glute Bridge

 Lie on back with bent knees hip distance apart, and feet flat on mat stacked under the
knees.
 Engage the core and squeeze your glutes as you lift your hips to a bridge. Hold,
squeezing tight and return to mat with control. Repeat for desired number of reps.

23
Lateral Skaters

 Lateral skaters work the quads, hamstring, and calves, all of which will ultimately
improve your game. But they also play a key role in strengthening the entire pelvic
girdle, especially the gluteus medius.

How to do it??

 Start standing with your legs hip-width apart, with hips and knees slightly bent.
 Shift your weight onto left leg and pick your right foot up from the ground.
 Bend your left (standing) knee to lower your hips a few inches, then push
explosively off your standing left foot to jump to the right-side landing on your
right leg.
 Bring your left leg towards your right ankle without it touching the floor.
 Repeat to the other side; you should jump as far as possible so that when you
land, you immediately take off again to the other side.
 Increase your range of motion by touching the floor with your hand every rep.
The deeper you go, the more you’ll activate your hip muscles.

24
Goblet Squat

 a lower-body exercise in which you hold a dumbbell or kettlebell with both hands in front
of your chest.
 Targets: Glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, core (abdominals and spinal
erectors), forearms, biceps, shoulders

How to do it?

 Hold a kettlebell with two hands against your chest as if preparing to drink from it like
goblet. Squat by sitting your hips back and down, keeping the weight in the heels of
your feet without lifting your toes. Maintain contact between the kettlebell and your
chest. Your elbows should gently touch your knees. Rise and extend powerfully through
the hips.

Single leg lateral leap and hold

 A great exercise for developing lateral power and control in each leg. 
 This exercise focuses on creating maximum lateral force while helping your
body learn to manage that force with the opposite leg.

Unit 4 Skills in Basketball

Introduction

26
 fundamentals of basketball are the MOST important thing to master because
they will make you and your team better no matter what age level or team you
play for.

Learning competencies

At the end of this course, the students shall able to:

 Explain and demonstrate the skills in basketball.

 Interpret the skills in basketball.
 execute the proper skill in basketball.

Basic skills of basketball

 Ball handling and dribbling

 Shooting
 Passing

Ball handling and dribbling

Introduction

Ball handling and dribbling are paramount importance. These two skills slow the
basketball to be advanced legally throughout the court of play. Ball handling is most important
part of the game of basketball included in this skill is both dribbling and passing. Because it is
one of basic part of basketball.

Ball familiarity

 Ball Slaps – slap ball as hard as you can with one hand as the other hand
holds the ball. Rotate hand on every slap. Fingertips – Extend arms out and
push ball back and forth with your fingertips.

27
Around the head

 Wrap the ball in around your head as fast as you can without dropping the
basketball.

28
Around waist

 Wrap the ball in a circle motion around your waist as fast as you can without
dropping the basketball.

Around the knee

 Start by standing up straight with your feet together. Wrap the ball around your
lower leg/ankles as fast as you can without letting the basketball touch the
ground.

Figure of 8

 Get down and squat with your legs being shoulder width apart and your back up
right. Wrap the ball in a figure 8 motion between and around your legs.

29
Around the leg right

 Get down and perform a split squat where your right leg is in front and your left
leg is planted behind you. Wrap the ball around only your right leg.

Around the leg left

 Get down and perform a split squat where your left leg is in front and your right
leg is planted behind you. Wrap the ball around only your right leg.

One hand dribbling

a. Types/Level of one hand dribbling
a.1 High – Shoulder level
a.2 Medium – Waist level

30
a.3 Low – Knee level

b. Right hand dribbling

c. Left hand dribbling

Crossover dribbling

 moves are used to move the ball from one hand to the other to change direction.

1. Keep your hand up so that you can see the court at all times.
2. Keep your dribble and body under control so that you can pass; change
pace and direction or shoot as the situation calls for it.
3. Protect the ball from your opponents.
4. Execute each crossover smoothly and quickly.
5. Points of Emphasis
6. The distance from the defender you chose to make your move.
7. The height of the ball on the crossover (the closer the defender, the lower
the crossover dribble must be).
8. The ability to keep the ball close to your body and under control as the
distance closes between you and your defender.

Behind the back –

31
 Keep the ball in as close as possible to your body without allowing the ball to
touch you when you push it behind your back. as the ball comes up  from the
last dribble with the right hand, with fingers comfortably spread, slides slightly to
the inside or left of the ball. This causes the wrist to flex slightly to the
preparation of pulling the ball around behind you. It should be noted that some
players use a different method on this maneuver; they make the last dribble,
with the right hand behind their left hip, slide their right hand to the outside or
right of the ball and simply push the ball behind them.

Spin or turn dribble

1. - A simple way to remember the move is to think ''plant, step and pull, and go.'' This
refers to planting the left foot and stepping with the right foot as you reverse pivot off
your left foot. ''Go'' means to complete the momentum of your turn by swinging your
left leg around and continue dribbling with your left hand.

Begin practicing the spin move slowly and get a feeling of rhythm of the spin. The
plant step should be a hard step with the weight shifting almost entirely as the
planted foot before the reverse pivot. Bend your knees a little bit more on the
reverse pivot because it will improve your balance and smooth out move. Lastly,
bounce the ball hardly on the last dribble and pull the ball around you by rotating the
elbow in and wrist out without turning the palm over. The ball should bounce in front
of the toes of the left foot when spinning left.

32
In between the legs dribble

1. To push the ball firmly through your legs, you must bend your knees to lower your
body position on the last dribble and slide your right hand slightly with the fingers
comfortable spread, to the outside (right) of the ball. Be sure the last step with the
left leg is long enough to allow the ball to go through your legs.
Your left hand should be turned slightly in toward your body with the finger
comfortable spread, ready to receive the ball off he bounce from your right hand.
The left hand should accept the ball at the same level or lower than where it left the
right hand.

As the ball comes across your body from your right hand to your left hand, swing
your right leg across and in front of your body so that you are now dribbling with
your left hand at a 45-degree angle to your left. Be sure that immediately after you
cross over, you step across with your leg and swing your right shoulder to protect
the ball from the defense. Your head should be up during the entire sequence.

Passing skills

Introduction

 Passing is the first and preferred word of any coach. Moving the ball with a pass
is quicker than moving it with a dribble. The basketball pass is the most basic
collective interaction and, after shooting, it constitutes the second most common
technical action used in the game

Skills in passing the ball

 Chest pass
 Overhead pass
 One hand push pass

Targets

 know the proper mechanics of passing in basketball.

 execute properly the different basketball pass.

Teaching points

 A good pass is a pass a teammate can catch.

 When passing, step toward your receiver.
 When catching, step toward the pass
 Like shooting, the ball should have a backspin to it. This is
accomplished by following through on every pass.

Chest pass

 Start with the ball close to your chest.

 Take a step forward in the direction of your teammate while quickly
snapping your arms forward.
 To create the proper backspin with your pass, place your hands on the
sides of the basketball with your thumbs on the back side facing your
body.
 When releasing the ball, your fingers should move forward and finish
pointing toward your teammate.
 Your thumbs should also snap forward pointing in the same direction but
finishing below your fingers

34
 Follow through by extending your arms fully in front of your body to help
create more speed.

Overhead pass

 Raise the ball above your head

 Use both hands to make a hard, accurate throw to a teammate across
the court.
 Aim for your teammate’s chest, head or above their head, depending on
how closely they are guarded.

One hand push pass

 Make a one-handed pass. Your passing hand and elbow should

be behind the ball to start.
 To complete the pass, take a lead step in the direction of your
target. Make sure to keep your other foot in place to prevent a
traveling call.
 As you take your step, extend your arm with the ball in the
direction of your teammate.
 Quickly push the ball to your teammate, continuing your
momentum in the direction of the pass to help with velocity and
accuracy.

35
Baseball Pass

 This should be used only in very rare situations such as a length of the court
pass in an attempt at a buzzer beating shot.  The ball is held with both hands on
the ball, and moved up near the ear of your throwing shoulder.  At this point,
throwing this pass is just like throwing a screw ball in baseball.  The hand must
be BEHIND the ball so the pass doesn’t have too much side spin, and your wrist
should follow through should be straight or even slightly counterclockwise to
avoid excessive spin.

Lob Pass

 Is an elevated air pass that is intended for either long distance or setting up a
teammate for a slam dunk or shot. Lob passes are usually high, arched passes
meant to go over a defensive player before reaching a teammate. Often, a lob
pass will be sent to a player close to the basket, who can reach up to catch it
and put in the basket.

36
Bounce Pass

 Often used for post entry, back-door cuts, and fast breaks, the bounce pass is a
situational pass.  The bounce pass is slower than a chest pass, which gives
defenders more time to make a play on it, so be sure to keep this in mind when
making passes within your offense, on out of bounds plays or other situations
requiring a crisp pass.  Use the same grip and passing motion with this pass as
you did with the chest pass. The ball should hit the floor about two-thirds of the
way to the receiver.   If the situation allows, you should step toward your
teammate as you throw the pass.  Ideally, you want to hit your teammate
between the knees and waist.

37
Blind or no Look Pass

 is used most often when closely guarded. This pass is similar to the chest pass,
except you push with one hand while taking a step to create space from your
defender.

Outlet Pass

 Is a pass made following a defense rebound. Outlet passes allow the player that
has just gained possession of the ball to quickly transfer it to a teammate. The
offensive team can then advance the ball up the court before the opposing
defense can recover and get in proper position.

Behind the Back Pass

 Despite what some people say, the behind the back pass is a fundamental pass
that should definitely be used in some situations.  Throwing a behind the back

38
pass is similar to throwing an underhand pass.  You put the ball behind your
back just like you were doing around the waist ball handling drills, except once
you get to the other side; you flick your wrist in the direction the ball should
travel. This pass is deceptive and is a great way to build your passing skills. It is
however important to learn when it is a good time to throw it, and when it is
unnecessary.

Introduction

Shooting is aspect of the game that most players are very happy to practice. Shooting
is a skill you can practice by yourself. Once you understand correct mechanics, all you need is
a ball, a basket, and an eagerness to improve.

Shooting forms

B.E.E.F METHOD

 BALANCED
 EYE
 ELBOW
 FOLLOW THROUGH
Balanced

 Feet are shoulder width apart for good balance.

39
 Feet should be in a slightly staggered stance that is consistent and comfortable
for you. Your shooting foot is slightly ahead of the non-shooting foot in a
comfortable position.
 Point your feet in the general direction of the basket, but not necessarily directly
at it. We prefer an open stance, but you can also use the closed (squared)
stance if that's more comfortable for you. With an open stance, your feet point
towards one side of the basket. For example, a right-handed shooter will point
his or her feet just to the left of the rim for a more natural position and shooting
motion.
 Once you develop a comfortable stance, line up your feet the exact same way
on every shot. Whatever stance you use, consistency is critical.
 Once you develop a comfortable stance, line up your feet the exact same way
on every shot. Whatever stance you use, consistency is critical.
 Flex/bend your knees on every shot.

Eye

 Knowing where you intend to place the ball begins with your eyes focused on
the basket
 To improve accuracy, locate the target (rim) as early as possible.
 Before shooting, see the whole floor, but when shooting, narrow your focus to
the front of the rim.
 Keep your eyes on the target and do not follow the flight of the ball.
 Keeping your target focus is very important!

40
Elbow

 This is the most important step. The elbow is directly under the ball in line with
the basket. Not too close or too far from the body. I place my elbow under the
ball, the elbow will keep the ball straight to the basket. Do not allow your
shooting arm to stick out to the side or be on an angle.
 When the elbow is straight, the ball will rest in one hand easily and can still be
released straight to the target.
 Your balance hand should not add force or spin to the shot.
 The ball should start motion directly upwards from the shot pocket (no dipping of
the ball).
 Your elbow should be positioned comfortably under the ball.

Follow through

 Your shooting hand should be fully extended in a straight line to the rim.
 Allowed the ball to roll off your fingertips and your wrist snaps so that your
fingers are pointed down and straight toward the basket.
 The ball should come off the hand with perfect symmetrical backspin.
 As shown in the picture to the left, your guide hand stays to the side and does
not influence the flight of the ball.
 Hold your follow through position until the ball hits the rim

41
Dunk

 Basketball’s most spectacular shot relies more on jumping ability than shooting skill. If
you can jump high enough, and hands large enough to control the ball, leap, lift the ball
above the rim and push or throw it through the net.

Alley Oop

 is an offensive play in which one player throws the ball near the basket to a teammate
who jumps, catches the ball in mid air and slam dunks it before touching the ground.
The alley-oop combines elements of teamwork, pinpoint passing, timing and finishing.

42
Free throw

A free throw is a shot attempt given to a player that was fouled and it is taken on the
free throw line. The player must stay behind the free throw line when taking the
shot. Before attempting to shoot, one must maintain their balance. Find the nail or
dot in the middle of the free throw line and line your shooting foot against it. For
right-handed shooters, the shooting foot will be the right foot and vice versa.
Your elbow on your shooting hand must be lined up to make an “L” right under the
ball with fingers spread out for the backspin.
Aim for the back of the rim with your eyes focusing on the rims, do not look at the
ball while you execute the shot. Follow through your shot by keeping your hands up
in the air for a second or two after releasing the ball.

43
Layup

 You’ll typically shoot layups from very close range after dribbling to the basket, or taking
a pass near the hoop. Typical layup form involves grasping the ball with two hands,
raising it in front of your face and banking it off the backboard, which all occurs while
you’re in motion. A putback of a missed shot is also technically a layup. If you can jump
well enough you may also raise the ball as high as possible and flip it straight through
the rim.

Three-Point Shot

 A field goal attempt from behind a designated line that forms a semicircle 20 feet, 6
inches from the basket in international play. When made, it counts for three points.
Slang terms include, long-range shot, triple and trey.

Hook Shot

A hook shot is when the shot is made while your body is not directly facing the
basket. To execute a shoot shot, you need to face the basket sideways so that your
shooting hand dribbling the ball is facing away from the basket. This is also the
stance to help guard the ball against your opponent. This makes it difficult for your

44
opponent to try to block the shot due to the distance created between you and your
defender.
To make the shot, jump with your left foot pushing off the ground if you’re making a
right-handed shot or vice versa. The shooting arm should be slightly bent, and it
should thrust upwards as the ball is lobbed with a flick of the wrist.
The hook shot is a staple of many players in the National Basketball Association,
including notable stars such as George Mikan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic
Johnson, and Yao Ming.

Hail Mary Shot

 A buzzer beater is a shot that is taken before the game clock of a quarter, a half, or an
overtime period expires but does not go in the basket until after the clock expires and
the buzzer sounds. The concept normally applies to baskets that beat an end-of-
quarter/half/overtime buzzer but is sometimes applied to shots that beat the shot clock
buzzer.

Tear drop shot

 teardrop is all finesse, a dandelion fluff of a shot that is nearly always tossed up by the
smallest player on the floor. The teardrop floats over defenders’ outstretched hands,
arcs toward the rafters and then — especially this year — drops through the net with
barely a whisper.

Floater

 is a high arcing shot over the reach of taller defenders in the lane. The shooter typically
begins with a layup drive, stops short of layup range, and attempts to shoot before
defenders can recover.

Introduction

Proper footwork is the foundation of the game of basketball. Proper footwork can
enhance any player ability to play offense., defense, rebound or any other part of the game
basketball.

At the end of this course, the students shall be able to:

 Understand the foot work in basketball.

 Explain the importance of foot work in basketball.
 Execute the proper foot work in basketball.

Importance of footwork in basketball

Proper footwork is often underestimated in basketball. Most of the time players focus
more on offensive skills such as shooting the ball and attacking the rim. Great basketball
players and coach know that fundamentals such as footwork play a very important role in
basketball.

Rip and Ready position

Players should be taught to get in this position after they catch the ball. This basketball
ready stance allows the player to be in a triple threat position, in that they are ready to pass,
shoot or dribble. The players need to learn to be tough and confident with the ball.

 Rip and ready position versus a defender

 Pivoting versus a defender

48
Pivot

Basketball pivot rules

 You can rotate your pivot foot

 You cannot lift your pivot foot off the floor until you shoot, pass, or begin
dribbling the ball.
 You cannot hold onto the ball for longer than five seconds.
 You cannot change your pivot foot once it is established.
 You cannot start to dribble after you begin pivoting if you were dribbling before
pivoting.

Pivoting points

 You must keep your head up with eyes forward.

 Have your knees bent a little.
 Your pivot point must not change.
 Your pivot foot does not slide.

49
Jab steps

 The jab step or sidestep can be a devastating basketball move to test

the quick defender’s reaction and create space. To perform a jab step,
 To perform a jab step, you have 3 options:

Jab steps benefits

 One benefit of the basketball jab step is that the move gives you
options.
  jab step has worked perfectly to create just enough space  to get a
clear look at the goal for the jump shot.
 Another benefit of the basketball jab step is it gets the defender off-
balance. 

3 options jab steps

   Simply use your non-pivot leg to take a hard-short step toward the
defender and the basket to create space.
 Use your non-pivot leg to take a hard-short step to the side of the
defender, towards the basket to create space.
 Use your non-pivot let to take a hard-short step to the middle or across
the defender, towards the basket to create space.

50
Triple threat position

Can be the foundation to being an aggressive and effective offensive basketball player.

Getting into position

 Have the ball between your shoulder and your knee with your elbow behind
the ball

51
 Your off hand should be on the ball to help secure and protect it from the
defender. This also will allow you to quickly change hands with the ball.
 Your knees should be bent with your back straight and eyes up.
 Your weight should be slightly on the ball of your feet, not on your heels.
