Basketball is played between two teams of 5 players each on a court overseen by 2-3 referees. Games consist of 8 minute quarters for high school and 20 minute halves for college, with rules prohibiting walking with the ball, double dribbling, pushing/shoving, and requiring dribbling, shooting, or passing. The document provides instruction on proper shooting form by placing the ball in the palm and flicking the wrist, as well as dribbling tips like using the dominant hand and fingertips while keeping the ball below the waist and looking up.
