1. INTRODUCTION (Tomado de Miguel Ángel Berrocal)

Basketball is a team sport. Two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball

through a hoop, 3.05 metres high. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and

there is a hoop at each end. The court is divided into two main sections by the mid-court line.

olimpicos/swf/baloncesto08.swf

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.

When a team scores a basket, they score two points and the ball goes to the other team. If a

basket is made outside of the three-point arc, then that basket is worth three points. A free throw

is worth one point. Free throws are usually given when a foul is made while shooting.

1. Aim of the game: 2 teams of 5players attempt to score as many baskets as possible in a time match.

3. The basket: is 3.05 hight.

4. The ball: weighs between 600 and 650 grammes.

3. BASQUETBALL SKILLS (Tomado de http://www.basketball-plays-and-tips.com) .

A. DRIBLING

Reasons to dribble:

1) Advance the ball to the oponent court.

2) Penetrate to the hoop.

3) Find good passing lanes.

4) Get out of trouble.

Some basic ball handling guidelines:

1) Dribble with a purpose

2) Keep your head up

3) Use the hand farthest from the defender to dribble with.

4) Don't catch the ball unless you have a pass or shot available.

5) Don't dribble into trouble (between 2 defenders or into the corners).

Basketball Dribbling Fundamentals

1) Basic Technique

The dribble is a push-pull movement of the arm.

Your fingers must form a cup to adapt to the ball.

Fingers and wrist must be relaxed.

Control the ball with your fingers, not the palms.

Raise your non-dribbling hand up for protection.

1. Control, or Low Dribble

Use this when you're closely defended. Keep your body between the ball and the defender.

Dribble the ball at knee level or lower and slightly away from your body so it's harder for

the defender to hit it.

Advance the ball with a step and slide movement.

Keep your free hand up to protect the ball while keeping you dribbling arm close to your

body.

You have to keep you head up and eyes off the ball.

Watch on youtube: http://youtu.be/ZNM8e4qReno

2. Speed, or High Dribble

Use this type of basketball dribbling when you need to advance the ball quickly.

Keep your body nearly erect, leaning forward slightly.

Extend your dribbling arm fully, pushing the ball in front of your body.

Keep the ball near waist level or higher to help maintain maximum speed.

3. Crossover Dribble

This technique is good to use when you're being closely defended. It helps you change direction

quickly.

When your foot on the dribbling side contacts the floor, push hard toward your opposite

foot and bounce the ball across your body with a quick flexion of your wrist and fingers.

The lower you bounce the ball, the quicker you do your crossover dribble.

Take a step back with the foot on the receiving side as your receiving hand gets the ball.

Quickness is extremely important with this basketball dribbling fundamental.

4. Spin, or Reverse Dribble

Is another change of direction technique. Advantage: You keep your body between the defender

and the ball. Disadvantage: You lose sight for a moment of your teammates and the basket.

If you're dribbling right and need to go left - stop, plant your left foot and pivot on it as you

spin in the opposite direction with your back to the defender.

Keep the ball close to your body as you spin and change it to your left hand.

As you complete the turn, dribble with your left hand and keep your head up to see the

floor.

your weight on your right foot.

Hit the ball behind your back as you move your left foot forward.

Catch the ball with your left hand and continue dribbling.

C. PASSING

1. The Chest Pass

This is the simplest, and most used pass in basketball, probably because it is often the most

accurate and quick pass.

a. Technique:

The first thing players need to do when they receive the ball is place their hands each side

and behind the ball, with their fingers comfortably spread.

The ball should be held in front of the chest with the elbows tucked in.

The next step is to locate the target.

The next phase is executing the chest pass, here players need to step in the direction of

the pass.

The wrist and fingers should then be forced through the ball to create more power, and

help the ball to the target.

Make sure the ball is released off the first and second fingers of both hands, and follow

through to finish up with the arms fully extended, fingers pointing at the target and palms

facing the floor.

a. Technique:

This is most often used when the player in possession has a defender trying to block their pass, and

is standing between them and their target.

The technique is the same as the chest pass. The ball should be held at waist height, with

the elbows tucked in.

The next phase is executing the bounce pass..Then follow through to finish with the arms

fully extended, fingers pointing at the target and palms facing the floor.

3. Overhead Pass

a. Technique:

This is most often used when players have a defender closely defending them, or as a long

distance pass. The reason an overhead pass is used in these situations is because it allows

players to pass the ball over the top of defenders.

The ball should be held above the forehead, with the elbows flexed at about a right angle .

The next stage is to locate the target

The next phase is executing the overhead pass, here players need to step in the direction of

the pass, through extending the legs, back, and arms, this will create the majority of the

power needed. The wrist and fingers should then be flexed to release the ball off the first

and second fingers of both hands. Then follow through to finish with the arms fully

extended, fingers pointing at the target and palms facing the floor.

the ball and the non-passing hand in front of it. The ball should be held up to the ear and the

weight should be kept on the back foot.

The next stage is to locate the target.

The next phase is executing the baseball pass, here a player needs to step in the direction

of the pass, through extending the legs, back, and arms, this will create the majority of the

power needed. The wrist and fingers should then be flexed to release the ball. Keep both

hands on the ball until the release. Then follow through to finish up with the arms fully

extended, fingers pointing at the target and palms facing down.
