2. HISTORY OF
BASKETBALL
• Basketball began in 1891, it was invented by
James Naismith, as being a less injury-prone
sport than football.
• The game rapidly gained popularity in the 20th
century, initially gaining popularity in America
before expanding globally.
• The NBA, established in 1946, quickly became a
multibillion-dollar enterprise and a significant
part of American culture, transforming from a
college game to a professional sport.

3. BASKETBALL SKILLS
AND TECHNIQUES
The objective of basketball is to score
more points than your opponent by
putting the ball through the hoop.
However, the process by which an
individual or team does this is much
more complicated than it seems.

4. DRIBBLING DEFENSE
SHOOTING
26 18 09
Dribbling is a continuous
motion that a player uses
to repeatedly bounce the
ball off the floor with one
hand.
Defense is a skill that
requires significant effort
and athleticism to prevent
the other team from
scoring effectively.
Shooting is the skill
that involves directly
scoring points.

offensive and defensive
ends.

8. BASKETBALL
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Basketball rules vary slightly depending
on play level and location, but are
generally the same. The winner is the
team with the most points, earned by
throwing the basketball through the
opponent's hoop or basket. Points are
earned by baskets within the three-point
line, basket shots outside the line, and
free throws.

9. 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 dribble the ball with
one hand, moving both feet, and if both
hands touch the ball or stop dribbling,
only move one foot, known as the pivot
foot.

10. RULES FOR THE
OFFENSE
2. Basketball players can only take one
turn at dribbling, and re-dribbling is a
double-dribbling violation. Another
player can start another dribble 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.

11. RULES FOR THE
OFFENSE
4. Players must maintain hand on top of
the ball during dribbling, as touching
the bottom and continuing to dribble
results in carrying the ball and losing it
to the opposing team.
5. A backcourt violation occurs when the
offensive team crosses half court and
cannot return to the backcourt, while a
defensive team can recover the ball
legally.

12. Double dribble
Three seconds
TRAVELING (WALKING)
NON-FOUL VIOLATIONS
BASKETBALL
INVOLVES DRIBBLING
OR BOUNCING THE
BALL WHILE WALKING
OR RUNNING, WITH
ONE FOOT BECOMING
THE PIVOT FOOT,
WHICH CANNOT BE
MOVED OR LIFTED OFF
THE GROUND. IF YOU
DO, THIS IS CALLED
TRAVELING.
YOU ONLY GET TO
DRIBBLE ONCE IN
BASKETBALL. IF YOU
STOP DRIBBLING YOU
HAVE TO PASS IT TO
ANOTHER PLAYER OR
SHOOT THE BALL. IF
YOU START DRIBBLING
AGAIN, THIS IS CALLED
DOUBLE DRIBBLING.
OFFENSIVE PLAYERS
ARE NOT ALLOWED TO
STAY IN THE FREE
THROW LANE, OR KEY,
FOR MORE THAN
THREE SECONDS.
ANYTIME THEY LEAVE
THE KEY OR THE BALL
HITS THE RIM, THE
THREE SECOND
COUNT STARTS OVER
AGAIN.

13. CARRYING (PALMING)
over-and-back
TEN SECONDS
NON-FOUL VIOLATIONS
THE OFFENSIVE TEAM
HAS 10 SECONDS TO
GET THE BALL ACROSS
HALF COURT. IF IT
TAKES LONGER THAN
10 SECONDS, THEN
THEY WILL LOSE
POSSESSION OF THE
BALL.
CARRYING, OR
PALMING, IS LIKE A
DOUBLE DRIBBLE.
PLAYERS MAY NOT PUT
THE PALM OF THEIR
HANDS UNDER THE
BALL OR CARRY THE
BALL IN ONE HAND
FOR A LONG TIME. THIS
IS SIMILAR TO
HOLDING THE BALL
AND A DOUBLE
DRIBBLE.
ONCE THE OFFENSIVE
TEAM HAS GOTTEN THE
BALL OVER HALF
COURT, THEY CANNOT
GO BACK INTO THE
DEFENDER'S HALF
COURT WITH THE BALL.
THIS IS CALLED OVER-
AND-BACK.

14. GOALTENDING
OUT OF BOUNDS
KICKING
NON-FOUL VIOLATIONS
GOALTENDING
INVOLVES A PLAYER
INTERFERING WITH A
SHOT ABOVE THE RIM,
ON THE BASKET'S RIM,
OR TOUCHING THE
NET, AND IS CALLED
GOOD IF IT'S ON
DEFENSE, AND BAD IF
IT'S ON OFFENSE.
THE BALL IS
CONSIDERED OUT OF
BOUNDS WHEN IT
TOUCHES THE
GROUND OUTSIDE THE
COURT LINES, THE
LINES THEMSELVES, OR
IF A PLAYER'S BODY
TOUCHES THE
GROUND.
LANE VIOLATIONS
PLAYERS ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO
INTENTIONALLY KICK
THE BALL. IF A
DEFENSIVE PLAYER
KICKS THE BALL, THE
OFFENSIVE TEAM WILL
GET IT OUT OF
BOUNDS.
FREE THROW SHOTS
REQUIRE PLAYERS TO
LINE UP ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE LANE,
WITH LANE
VIOLATIONS
RESULTING IN MISSED
SHOTS AND MISSED
SHOTS NOT COUNTING
FOR OFFENSIVE OR
DEFENSIVE PLAYERS.

15. BASKETBALL
DEFENSIVE RULES
The team on defense is the team
without the basketball.
Defensive players are generally prohibited from
fouling, as they gain an unfair advantage through
physical contact, unless the referee interprets the
situation, preventing the offensive player from losing
the ball.
Most of the fouls in a game are committed by the
defense, but the offense can commit fouls as well.
Here are list of some of the types of fouls.

16. TYPICAL
DEFENSIVE
FOULS
BLOCKING
A blocking foul is called when
one player uses their body to
prevent the movement of
another player. This is often
called when the defensive
player is trying to draw a
charge, but does not have their
feet set or initiates the contact.
HAND CHECK
A hand check foul is called
when a player uses their hands
to impede or slow the
movement of another player.
This is usually called on the
defensive player covering the
player with the ball on the
perimeter.
Similar to a hand check foul,
but is generally called when a
player grabs another player and
holds on to prevent them from
moving.
HOLDING
This foul is called for any use of
the hands on another player
that the referee thinks is illegal.
It's generally called when you
hit another player on the arm
during shooting or when trying
to steal the ball.
ILLEGAL HAND USE

17. TYPICAL
OFFENSIVE FOULS
CHARGING
Charging is called on the player with the ball when
they run into a player that already has position. If the
defensive player doesn't have position or is moving,
then generally the official will call blocking on the
defender.
A moving screen is called when the player setting
the pick or screen is moving. When setting a screen
you have to stand still and maintain position. Sliding
a bit over to block your opponent will cause a
moving screen foul to be called.
MOVING SCREEN
This foul is called when rebounding. If one player has
position, the other player is not allowed to jump up
over their back to try and get the ball. This is called
on both offensive and defensive players.
OVER THE BACK

18. FOULING OUT
Each time a player commits a foul, they get
another personal foul added to their name. If
they reach a certain total during they game
they will have "fouled out" and will not be
allowed to play any more. It takes five fouls to
foul out in college and high school, six fouls
in the NBA.
TECHNICAL FOUL
ILLEGAL HAND USE
TEAM FOULS
The total number of team fouls add up
during the game as well. After a certain
number of fouls, a team is considered "over
the limit" and free throws will be awarded for
non-shooting fouls. The rules for the NBA and
college/high school are different:
A technical foul is given for unsportsmanlike
conduct or other infraction. This can range
from fighting to arguing with the official.
Both coaches and players can get technical
fouls.
Flagrant fouls in high school and college
result in two free throws and ball possession,
with player ejected in NBA, potentially
counted as a technical foul or ejected.

19. RULES FOR
EVERYONE
• 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.
• Basketball players cannot kick the ball or hit it with their fist.
• 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.

20. HOW LONG IS A
BASKETBALL GAME?
Basketball games are played a set
amount of time. It's different for
different leagues and levels of play.
• High School - High school basketball games are
made up of four 8-minute quarters or two 16-
minute halves.
• College - NCAA college basketball games consists
of two 20 minute halves. This is the same for the
WNBA and international games.
• NBA - NBA games are made up of four 12-minute
quarters.

21. WHEN DOES THE
CLOCK RUN?
In the NBA the clock stops after a made shot
during the last two minutes of the game and
overtime. For college it stops during the last
minute of the game and overtime.
The clock runs whenever the ball is in play.
The clock is stopped whenever the ball
goes out of bounds, a foul is called, free
throws are being shot, and during time
outs. When the ball is inbound, the clock
starts once a player touches the ball.

22. TIMEOUTS
the shot clock
OVERTIME
IF THE GAME IS TIED
AFTER REGULATION
TIME, THERE WILL BE
OVERTIME. OVERTIME
IS 5 MINUTES LONG IN
MOST LEAGUES.
ADDITIONAL
OVERTIMES WILL BE
ADDED UNTIL ONE
TEAM ENDS UP ON
TOP.
IN ORDER TO GIVE
YOUR TEAM SOME
REST, CALL A PLAY, OR
JUST STOP THE GAME
FOR A WHILE, TEAMS
CAN CALL A TIME OUT.
IN ORDER TO SPEED
UP THE GAME AND TO
PREVENT TEAMS FROM
STALLING, A SHOT
CLOCK WAS ADDED.
THIS IS HOW LONG
YOU HAVE TO SHOOT
THE BALL. IF THE BALL
CHANGES POSSESSION
OR HITS THE RIM OF
THE BASKET, THE SHOT
CLOCK STARTS OVER.

23. REFEREE
The referee is the official that controls the
game. He is the one who tosses the ball up for
the center jump at the start of the game and
each overtime period. He duties range from
inspecting and approving all equipment before
the game's starting time to approving the final
score. In between, the referee is responsible for
the notification of each team three minutes
before each half is to begin and deciding
matters of disagreement among the officials.
The referee has the power to make decisions
on any point not specifically covered in the
rules and even to forfeit the game if necessary.
