x 15 m. It has a steel basket with a net and
backboard hanging over each end of the court.

the rim is exactly 10 ft. (3.05 m) above the
court and 4 ft. (1.2 m) inside the baseline.

RULES
Rules for the offense
The player must bounce, or dribble, the ball with one hand while
moving both feet. If, at any time, both hands touch the ball or the
player stops dribbling, the player must only move one foot. The foot
that is stationary is called the pivot foot.

The basketball player can only take one turn at dribbling. In other
words, once a player has stopped dribbling they cannot start another
dribble. A player who starts dribbling again is called for a double-
dribbling violation and looses the basketball to the other team. A player
can only start another dribble after another player from either team
touches or gains control of the basketball. This is usually after a shot or
pass.
Rules for the offense
The ball must stay in bounds. If the offensive team looses the ball out
of bounds the other team gets control of the basketball.

The players hand must be on top of the ball while dribbling. If they
touch the bottom of the basketball while dribbling and continue to
dribble this is called carrying the ball and the player will lose the ball to
the other team.
Once the offensive team crosses half court, they may not go back into
the backcourt. This is called a backcourt violation. If the defensive
team knocks the ball into the backcourt, then the offensive team can
recover the ball legally.
Defensive Rules
The main rule for the defensive player is not to foul. A foul is described
as gaining an unfair advantage through physical contact. There is some
interpretation that has to be made by the referee, but, in general, the
defensive player may not touch the offensive player in a way that
causes the offensive player to lose the ball or miss a shot.
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
TAKE position they play. The positions in basketball are just for team
NOTE: basketball strategy and there are no positions in the rules.
