A. Concept Digest

Basketball is a fast-paced game that requires the knowledge and instinct to perform quickly and
properly. The sport of basketball requires five basic skills. While some players might be more
experienced with some skills than others, it is best to have at least some ability in all five areas.

B. Examples

Basic Skills in Basketball

o Defense 

Defense - To be able to get a chance to score and gain possession, the team should play good defense
and try to stop their opponent from scoring. As said, "A good defense is a good offense."
o Dribbling
Dribbling is an important skill for all basketball players. This skill will allow you to move up and
down the court, maneuver past defenders and execute plays. Proper dribbling requires ball-handling
skills and knowledge of how to spread your fingers for ball control. It is also best if you know how
to dribble equally well with both hands.

There are different types of dribbles:

• change-of-pace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wwv5nDpL6k

• between the legs dribble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5UyZYGy15k

o Shooting
In order to score points in basketball, you need to shoot the ball into the hoop. This requires the
ability to properly hold and throw the ball into the air toward the basket while avoiding defenders.
A proper shot requires precise aiming, arm extension and lift from the legs. There are different
types of shots you need to learn, including jump shots, layups and free throws.

There are several ways to score in the game:

Jump Shot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhgs5ZODc4A

Hook Shot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh_Qd2awC9Y

o Rebounding
Rebounding - is essential to gain or regain possession after the shot. Usually, the team
who has the most number of rebounds after the game has more shot attempts and chances
to score.

o Running
Running is a big part of basketball. In a full-court game, you will find yourself running back and
forth as the game quickly transitions between offense and defense. When you have the ball, running
will help you to avoid defenders and get to the basket quicker. On defense, you often will find
yourself needing to run after the opponent, especially during fast breaks.

o Passing
Passing is another skill that when mastered can help you become a complete basketball player.
Basketball is a team sport that involves finding a teammate who is open for a shot. The ability to
pass the ball to this player can make the difference between scoring and not scoring. Really great
passers are an important part of a basketball team and usually the ones who set up scoring plays.

There are several types of passes you need to learn:

• Overhead Pass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cusca-kwWs


• Chest Pass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKd6aAN8CeY
• Push Pass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFz3xv-tHo
• Baseball Pass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2cBs4KDbAY
• Off-the-Dribble Pass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eufP0_bNGBw
• Bounce Pass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iolK1sWXl4

o Jumping
Jumping is another skill that can define how good a basketball player is. Jumping is involved in
offense during the jump ball in the beginning, while taking shots and sometimes while trying to
catch a pass. On defensive you will need the ability to jump when trying to block a shot or a pass.
Being able to out jump your opponent for a rebound also is important.
