LESSON 1

 HISTORY OF BASKETBALL

Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:

1) Trace the history and development of Basketball; and

2) Conceptualize a team sport game that is fitted to be played during
pandemic times.

NATURE OF THE GAME

Basketball, game played between two teams of five players each on a
rectangular court, usually indoors. Each team tries to score by tossing the ball
through the opponent’s goal, an elevated horizontal hoop and net called a
basket.

The only major sport strictly of U.S. origin, basketball was invented by
James Naismith (1861–1939) on or about December 1, 1891, at the
International Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) Training School
(now Springfield College), Springfield, Massachusetts, where Naismith was an
instructor in physical education.

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 For that first game of basketball in 1891, Naismith used as goals two
half-bushel peach baskets, which gave the sport its name. After much running
and shooting, William R. Chase made a midcourt shot—the only score in that
historic contest. Word spread about the newly invented game, and numerous
associations wrote Naismith for a copy of the rules, which were published in
the January 15, 1892, issue of the Triangle, the YMCA Training School’s campus
paper.
Jay Archer, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, introduced “biddy” basketball
in 1950 for boys and girls who are under 12 years of age, the court and
equipment being adjusted for size.

The early years

In 1894 teams began to
play with five on a side when
the playing area was less than
1,800 square feet (167.2
square meters); the number
rose to seven when the
gymnasium measured from
1,800 to 3,600 square feet
(334.5 square meters) and up
to nine when the playing area
exceeded that. In 1895 the
number was occasionally set
at five by mutual consent; the
rules stipulated five players
two years later, and this
number has remained ever
since. Players shooting into a closed-bottom peach basket
in an outdoor game of basketball, 1892.
Since Naismith and five Courtesy of the Basketball Hall of Fame,
of his original players were Springfield, Massachusetts, U.S.
Canadians, it is not surprising
that Canada was the first country outside the United States to play the game.
Basketball was introduced in France in 1893, in England in 1894, in Australia,
China, and India soon thereafter, and in Japan in 1900.

In the Philippines, basketball was introduced by the American colonizers

as part of the revisions they made to the official Philippine school system as a
women’s sport in 1898 and was played in inter scholastic meets in 1911-1933.
Fifteen years later, Philippines won gold in the 1913 in the Far Eastern Game
over China in the first international game in Asia. The Philippines won all
except one time in 1921 championship until 1934.

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 First College to Play. The first college to play the game was either Geneva
College (Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania) or the University of Iowa. C.O. Bemis
heard about the new sport at Springfield and tried it out with his students
at Geneva in 1892. At Iowa, H.F. Kallenberg, who had attended Springfield
in 1890, wrote Naismith for a copy of the rules and also presented the game
to his students. At Springfield, Kallenberg met Amos Alonzo Stagg, who
became athletic director at the new University of Chicago in 1892.

 First College basketball game with Five. The first college basketball game
with five on a side was played between the University of Chicago and the
University of Iowa in Iowa City on January 18, 1896. The University of
Chicago won, 15–12, with neither team using a substitute. Kallenberg
refereed that game—a common practice in that era—and some of the
spectators took exception to some of his decisions.

 1980, the game’s popularity exploded at all levels with the advent of cable
television, Given a timely mix of spectacular players—such as Earvin
(“Magic”) Johnson, Julius Erving (“Dr. J”), Larry Bird, and Michael
Jordan—and the greatly increased exposure, basketball moved quickly to
the forefront of the American sporting scene, alongside such traditional
leaders as baseball and football. Four areas of the game developed during
this period: U.S. high school and college basketball, professional basketball,
women’s basketball, and international basketball.

 Stanford University’s Hank Luisetti was the first to use and popularize the
one-hand shot in the late 1930s. Until then the only outside attempts were
two-handed push shots.

 In the 1950s and ’60s a shooting style evolved from Luisetti’s push-off one
hander to a jump shot, which is released at the top of the jump. West
Virginia University guard Jerry West and Purdue University’s Rick Mount
were two players who demonstrated the devastating effectiveness of this
shot.

 Frank W. Keaney, coach at the University of Rhode Island from 1921 to

1948, is credited with introducing the concept of “fast break” basketball, in
which the offensive team rushes the ball upcourt hoping to get a good shot
before the defense can get set.

 Adolph Rupp contributed to a quicker pace of play, particularly through the

use of the pressure defense, was, who became the University of Kentucky’s
coach in 1931 and turned its program into one of the most storied in
basketball history.

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 Pioneer coaches such as Henry Iba of Oklahoma A&M University (now
Oklahoma State University) or Long Island University’s Clair Bee taught
strictly a man-to-man defense, the zone defense, developed by Cam
Henderson of Marshall University in West Virginia, later became an integral
part of the game.

 The first professional league was the National Basketball League (NBL),
formed in 1898.

 A group of basketball stylists who never received the acclaim they deserved
(because in their heyday they played for various towns) consisted of Edward
and Lew Wachter, Jimmy Williamson, Jack Inglis, and Bill Hardman. They
introduced the bounce pass and long pass as offensive weapons and
championed the rule (adopted 1923–24) that made each player, when
fouled, shoot his own free throw.

 In 2001 the NBA launched the National Basketball Development League

(NBDL). The league served as a kind of “farm system” for the NBA. Through
its first 50 years the NBA did not have an official system of player
development or a true minor league system for bringing up young and
inexperienced players such
as exists in major league
baseball.

 By 2000 this had begun to

change somewhat, as
players began to be drafted
straight out of high school
with increasing frequency.

 In 2005 the NBA instituted a

rule stipulating that
domestic players must be at
least age 19 and have been
out of high school for one
year to be eligible for the
draft, which in effect
required players to spend at
least one year in college or
on an international
professional team before
coming to the NBA.

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 Women’s basketball was introduced in
1893 by Sendra Berenson, a gymnastic
instructor at Smith College
Northampton, MA. No male spectators
were allowed since it was socially
unacceptable at that time. What some
say was a result of misinterpretation
of Naismith’s court diagram led to
three zones section with two players
stationary in each section.

 In April 1895 the women of the

University of California (Berkeley)
played Stanford University. Despite a
multitude of hindrances (such as being
thought unladylike), women’s
basketball gradually secured a
foothold. The first intercollegiate Maryland's Kristi Toliver (20) shooting over
women’s game was played between Duke's Abby Waner in the 2006 NCAA
Stanford and California in 1896. women's basketball national championship
game. (Winslow Townson/AP)

 In 1938, the three court sections were reduced to two, with two stationary
guards, two stationary forwards, and two “rovers” that could more around
the entire court.

 Clara Baer, who introduced

basketball at the H. Sophie
Newcomb College for Women in
New Orleans, influenced the
women’s style of play with her
set of women’s rules, published
in 1895. On receiving a diagram
of the court from Naismith, Baer
mistook dotted lines, indicating
the areas in which players might
best execute team play, to be
restraining lines, with the result
that the forwards, centers, and
guards were confined to specified
areas. This seemed appropriate
because many felt that the men’s
game was too strenuous for Anne Donovan (centre) of the United States attempts
women. to shoot over Polona Dornik (left) and Sladjana Golic
(right) of Yugoslavia during the 1988 World Amateur
Basketball Championship(Focus on Sports)

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 FIBA held the first world championship in 1969.

 In 1971, when women’s rules were changed to reduce the number on a

team from six players to five and women were freed from the limits
imposed by the half-court game, the level of individual skills and
competition quickly rose.

 In the early 1980s control of the women’s college game was shifted from
the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) to the NCAA,
a move that not only streamlined the operation and made it more efficient
but also added to the visibility of women’s basketball. The women’s NCAA
championship tournament runs concurrently with the men’s, and many of
the games are nationally televised.

 Women’s basketball became an Olympic sport in 1976. Louisiana Tech won

the first NCAA championship in 1982

 Perhaps the most important even to occur in women’s basketball, as well as

women’s sports was the enactment of Title IX in 1972, equalizing men’s and
women’s sports.

Milestones and Refinements over the Years

Below are highlights of changes in the rules and development done of

the game:

 Ball. A soccer ball (football) was used for the first two years. In the late
1890s, Spalding took over as the official ball maker. It was laced, measured
close to 32 inches (81 cm), or about 4 inches (10 cm) larger than the soccer
ball, in circumference, and weighed less than 20 ounces (567 grams). By
1948–49, when the laceless molded ball was made official, the size had
been set at 30 inches (76 cm). In 1905, the choice of basketballs was left up
to the teams. Because of the inability to maintain their shape and their
laces, these early brown leather basketballs were hard to dribble. In 1929,
basketballs were re-designed for more bounce and with concealed laces
which eliminated erratic bounces. Balls became lighter, bigger and easier to
handle. In 1942, molded basketballs that maintained constant shape and
size replaced the stitched balls. In 1967, the American Basketball
Association played with a red and blue basketball. Today, the WNBA and
FIBA use contrasting panels.

 Baskets. Originally, peach baskets or 18’ square boxes were frequently

attached to balconies of the running tracks of most indoor facilities, making
it easy for spectators behind a basket to lean over the railings and deflect
the ball to favor one side and hinder the other. At this time, the basket

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 height was at 10 feet which still stands till now. Obviously, the peach
baskets and boxes slowed the game down since the ball has to be retrieved
after every goal either by someone on the running track or by ladder. In
1892, the peach baskets were replaced first by heavy woven rims. A year
later, cast iron rims were used as hoops with a hammock style of basket.
This was marketed by Narragansett Machinery Co. of Providence in Rhode
Island. Open ended nylon nets were adopted in 1912–13 which was a major
milestone for basketball because the free falling ball after a goal is made
increased the tempo and the scoring of the game.

 Backboards. Wire mesh backboards were introduced in 1895 to prevent

spectators in the balconies from interfering with play. Wooden backboards
replaced the easily dented wire mesh backboards in 1904. Plate glass
backboards were legalized by the professionals in 1908–09 and by colleges in
1909–10. Backboards were mounted flat against walls. In 1916, a two feet
gap was between the backboard and the end line was required to prevent
players from running up the walls for easy lay-up. In 1939, the gap was
increased from 2 feet to the present 4 feet to allow for more movement
underneath the basket and to reduce frequent stepping out-of-bounds. Fan-
shaped backboards were made legal in 1940–41.

 Courts. These often were of irregular shape with occasional obstructions

such as pillars, stairways, or offices that interfered with play.

 Boundary Lines. In 1903 it was ruled that all boundary lines must be
straight.

 Team Size. Originally, there was no set of rule on the number of players.
The idea was that the game could be played by any number of players.
After experimenting with teams up to fifty, early games were primarily
played by nine players on each side - the reason being that 18 students
showed up for Naismith’s class. In 1897, five players became the mandatory
team size.

 Uniforms. Originally, players wore one of three styles of uniforms: knee-

length football trousers; jersey tights, as commonly worn by wrestlers; or
short padded pants, forerunners of today’s uniforms, plus knee guards.

 Scoring. Originally, a successful goal was counted as one point and one
point was also to a team anytime three consecutive fouls were called on the
opponent. Free throws were introduced in 1894. Both a made field goal and
a made free throw were counted as one goal. In 1895–96 the points for
making a basket (goal, or field goal) were reduced from three to two, and
the points for making a free throw (shot uncontested from a line in front of
the basket after a foul had been committed) were reduced from three to

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 one. In 1967, the three-point shot was introduced into International
Baskeball by FIBA. In 1977, it was adopted by the National Basketball
Association and by the NCAA in 1980.

 Timing. First games were played in two fifteen minutes. Later, this was
increased to two 20-minute halves. There was no provision in extending the
game if the score was tied. In fact, the first game ever played ended in 2-2
tie. However, as leagues started to be formed, ties needed to be broken.
The first tie breakers were “sudden death” with the first team to score a
point either a field goal or free throw, winning the game. Thus games were
decided without one team having a single ball possession. In 1960s, in ordr
to provide each team with an equal chance, Sudden Death was replaced by
overtime periods.

 Shot Clock. In 1954, NBA instituted a 24-second shot clock. This eliminated
the common stalling tactics that were being deployed sometimes as early
as third period, by teams ahead in the game because there was no way for
the team behind to catch up other than foul. The shot clock curtailed the
end of the game fouling and ensuing parade of free throws which made a
dull game. In 1956, a 30-second shot clock was deployed internationally by
FIBA and in 1985 after a USC vs UCLA game and a Missouri vc Kansas game
where players actually sat down during the game. The NCAA 45-second shot
clock was further reduced to 35 seconds in 1993. Women have used a 30-
second shot clock since going to a full court game in 1971.

 Free Throws. In 1894, free throw line was introduced at twenty one feet
away from the basket. This resulted in teams deploying specialized free
throw shooters. A year later, the free throw line was moved closer to
fifteen feet from the basket. In 1924, the free throw rule was amended
which required the player who was fouled to shoot the free throws.

 Fouls. Fouls were assessed for using a fist, travelling and physical contact
(holding, pushing, tripping or striking of an opponent). When a player
committed two fouls, they were disqualified for the whole game. When a
team committed three consecutive fouls, without the opponent committing
foul, the opponent was awarded a goal -this is a predecessor to today’s
bonus rules. In 1911, player fouls for disqualification was increased from
two to four and increased again in 1945 to five fouls. In 1922, traveling or
running with ball was changed to a violation and no longer considered a
foul.

 Passing. Passing rules have not changed over time. Rules 1 and 2 of the
original rules relating to passing the ball are still in effect today.
-

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 Dribbling. In the original rules, players could not bounce the ball. In 1902,
the rule was enacted permitting players to bounce the ball. However,
players were required to pass the ball and could not shoot after bouncing it.
The single dribble amounted to a pass more a dribble since the ball had to
be tossed higher than a players head and then recovered. Players could use
this one bounce tactic numerous times in succession since there was no rule
limitation. In 1909, continuous dribbling and shots off dribble were
instituted. Being able to shoot off the dribble transformed the dribble from
a defensive maneuver to get out of trouble into a potent offensive weapon.
Double dribbling was also eliminated at this time. Note: in 1927, there was
a period when dribbling was outlawed, but then reinstated two weeks later.

 Out of Bounds. In the beginning, boundaries were not defined. In most

cases, they were just the walls. In 1904, boundaries became straight lines.
The original rule regarding out of bounds situations turned out to be
disastrous. Ball possession was awarded to the first payer to touch the ball
after it went out of bounds. This led to pushing, shoving, elbowing,
desperate dives, and total bedlam. It was even worse when the ball ended
up in the balconies, with all players making a mad dash to be the first up
the stairs which created logs, jams and fights. Teams resorted to forming
wedges to block their opponents from going up the stairs. Team even tried
to bypass the stairs by hoisting the players up the balcony in an effort to be
the first to touch the ball first. To eliminate out of bound delays, wire mesh
(chicken wire) or chain link fencing being hung around the entire court in an
effort to make the game go faster. However, in reality, it served more as a
barrier to protect the players from the rowdy spectators as well as from
objects being thrown to the court. The wire cage actually resulted to
additional rough play among players body checking each other into the wire
mesh as in hockey. The use of cages was abandoned in 1933 but the term
“Cagers” is still used today. In 1913, the out of bounds rule was changed
to the current rule of the team causing or touching the ball when it goes out
of bounds loses possession of the ball. This had a major impact in reducing
the physical play that was common place in early games.

 Midcourt Line. In 1932, midline was established to eliminate stalling. Prior

to this time, the offensive had the luxury of the entire court at their
disposal of which they took full advantage. This created low, dull scoring
with teams spreading the court and playing keep away rather than trying to
score. Adding the midcourt line aided the defensive team by cutting the
area to defend to just the half court. In 1933, a rule requiring a team to
advance the ball past the midcourt line in less than two seconds was
enacted. In 2000, FIBA and NBA reduced the 10-second rule to eight
seconds. College women’s rules do not have a 10-second rule.

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 Center Jump. In 1937, a center jump followed each successful basket.
Teams with a good jumper had an advantage. But having a jump ball
situation also slowed the game down considerably. Center jump is still used
today to start game and overtime periods. In 1981, alternating possession
replaced jump balls. It was used to eliminate multiple violations that were
occurring on jump balls and officials’ inconsistency of tossing the ball up. In
the early days, jump balls were extremely physical. Players pushed and
shoved in an effort to to gain possession of the ball. Even the referee was
often caught in the jump ball skirmishes and sometimes injured. Recent
rule changes have been instituted to curtail or neutralize the dominance of
exceptionally gifted, tall players.

 Three Second Area. In 1936, the three second area was created to prevent
the offensive players from camping around the basket, and to eliminate the
ensuing rough play which commonly took place. The three second area was
6 feet wide. Because of its shape, it became known as the “Key” or “Key
Hole”. In 1951, the three second area was expanded to 12 feet. The NBA
and international width is 16 feet.

 Goal Tending. In 1944, the goal tending was adopted making it illegal for a
defensive player to touch the ball on its downward flight. This was in
reaction to Bob Kurland (the first regular dunker) and George Mikan
standing in front of basket ans swatting practically every opponent shot
attempt.

 Offensive Basket Interference. In 1958, offensive basket interference was

enacted. Mainly as a result of Bill Rusell, who became known as the
PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III
 “Funeller” from using two hands to guide his teammates shots into the
basket. Note: In International basketball, once the ball strikes the rim,
offensive basket interference and goal tending rules do not apply.
 Dunking- “Alcindor” Rule. From 1967 to 1977, a no dunking rule was
enacted in college basketball. The reasons given were to prevent basket
damage and injuries. However, it was specifically aimed at stopping Lew
Alcindor. Unable to dunk, Alcindor developed his unstoppable “Sky” hook.

 Game Coaching. In 1949, coaching during the game was officially allowed.
Prior to this time, believe it or not, no coaching was allowed during the
game or even during a timeout. However, coaching was allowed during a
halftime.

 Substitutions. Initially, players were not allowed to re-enter the game. In

1920, players were allowed to re-enter the game one time. In 1934, players
were allowed to re-enter twice and in 1945, the rule was finally changed to
allow players to re-enter to the game an unlimited number of times.

Common terms used in basketball include the following:

Blocking. Any illegal personal contact that impedes the progress of an

opponent who does not have the ball.

Dribble. Ball movement by bouncing the ball. A dribble ends when a player
touches the ball with both hands simultaneously or does not continue his
dribble.

Held ball. Called when two opponents have one or two hands so firmly upon
the ball that neither can gain possession without undue roughness. It also is
called when a player in the frontcourt is so closely guarded that he cannot pass
or try for a goal or is obviously withholding the ball from play.

Jump ball. A method of putting the ball into play. The referee tosses the ball
up between two opponents who try to tap it to a teammate. The jump ball is
used to begin games and, in the professional game, when the ball is possessed
by two opposing players at the same time.

Pass. Throwing, batting, or rolling the ball to another player. The main types
are (1) the chest pass, in which the ball is released from a position in front of
the chest, (2) the bounce pass, in which the ball is bounced on the floor to get
it past a defensive opponent, (3) the roll pass on the floor, (4) the hook pass
(side or overhead), and (5) the baseball pass, in which the ball is thrown a
longer distance with one hand in a manner similar to a baseball throw.

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

Pivot. A movement in which a player with the ball steps once or more in any
direction with the same foot while the other foot (pivot foot) is kept at its
point of contact with the floor.

Pivot player
Another term for centre; also called a post player. He may begin the offensive
set from a position just above the free throw line.

Rebounding. Both teams attempting to gain possession of the ball after any
try for a basket that is unsuccessful, but the ball does not go out-of-bounds and
remains in play.

Screen, or pick. Legal action of a player who, without causing more than
incidental contact, delays or prevents an opponent from reaching his desired
position.

Shots from the field. One of the main field shots is the layup, in which the
shooter, while close to the basket, jumps and lays the ball against the
backboard so it will rebound into the basket or just lays it over the rim. Away
from the basket, players use a one-hand push shot from a stride, jump, or
standing position and a hook shot, which is overhead. Some players can dunk or
slam-dunk the ball, jamming the ball down into the basket.

Traveling (walking with the ball)

Progressing in any direction in excess of the prescribed limits, normally two
steps, while holding the ball.

Turnover
Loss of possession of the ball by a team through error or a rule violation.

 LESSON 2

 FACILITIES & EQUIPMENT

Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, you are expected to;

A. Draw a Basketball court and label the parts of the different areas and
write its measurements

You will now get to know the different facilities and equipment used in playing
Basketball.

A. COURT
The court is the playing surface, consisting of a rectangular floor with
tiles at either end. In professional or organized basketball, especially when
played indoors, it is usually made out of wood, often maple, and highly
polished. Outdoor surfaces are generally made from standard paving materials
such as concreate or asphalt. Length is 98 ft. or 28 meters, width 50 ft. or 15
meters.

 B. THE BALL
The ball is an inflated
sphere with an outer
covering. The size of the
ball is also regulated. For
men, the official ball is
29.5 inches (74.9 cm) in
circumference (size 7)
and weighs 22 ounces
(624 g). If women are
playing, the official
basketball size is 28.5
inches (72.4 cm) in
circumference (size 6)
and weighs 20 ounces 567
grams.

C. BASKET/THE RING
The goal, made up of a horizontal and circular metal rim with a net
hanging from it. It is mounted 3.05m above floor level.

E. CLOTHING
Players of each teams shall
wear the same outfits which must
not clash with the opposing team and
wear a numbered shirt and no two
players in the same team should
wear the same number.

Loose-fitting shorts for

mobility and sleeveless vests are the
standard attire.

F. SHOES
High-topped shoes.

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

 G. WHISTLE
A whistle in basketball is a piece of
equipment used by coaches during
practice or by referees to call a dead ball
situation. When a foul or violation
happens on the court, the official will
blow his whistle to stop play.

4. SHOT CLOCK, GAME

CLOCK
The clock that counts
down the maximum 24 seconds.

5. SCORE BOARD
Scoreboards were first used
in basketball to record scores. The
first scoreboards were just
handwritten on a public board for
all to see. The first basic
scoreboard was used in 1934, it
included a clock as well as
recording scores. Electronic
scoreboards added features such as
a buzzer, timer and scores.
Scoreboards developed from this
time on and other digital features
were included. Wireless
scoreboards are now in use and can
be controlled from anywhere.

LESSON 3

 BASIC SKILLS IN BASKETBALL

Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:

1. Perform the selected basic skills in playing basketball.

SKILLS IN BASKETBALL

Basketball skills can be broken down into two primary categories:

 Offensive skills: shooting, rebounding, passing, and dribbling

 Defensive skills: blocking, stealing, and rebounding

OFFENSIVE SKILLS

1. Shooting

Shooting consists of launching the ball toward the basket in an arcing

motion with the purpose of it going in and scoring points. When shooting, keep
your eyes on the target, place the ball on your fingertips (not the palm), place
your feet shoulder width apart, place your elbow under the ball, and then
follow through and hold the finish.

Types of Shoots

a. Jump Shot- a shot

executed with both feet taken
off from the floor in a vertical
jump, arms straight upward
and legs and feet slightly
apart in the air.

The Step-by-Step Process

b. Dunk Shot or Fancy Shot-

a shot that is commonly
known as slum shot. It is
executed with forceful shot
above the rim, powerful and
fancied. Not recommended
for beginners because of its
risk to injury.

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

The Step-by step Process

Step 1: Build your

speed/momentum

Step 4: Stuff the

basketball through
the net

Step 3: Try touching the rim

first. Increase gradually.

Step 2: Mark

c. Set Shot- is a shot usually done with feet flat on the ground, or a shot
executed with a screen and peek from the teammates to get an easy shot.

Practice the step-by-step process.

d. Lay-Up Shot- a shot that involves dribbling and running skills. It is executed
by dribbling the ball away from the basket, taking off in right or left foot,
stretching arms and hands, and using the board to bank the shot.

The Step-by-step Process

2. Offensive Rebounding

An offensive rebound is obtained when the team that just shot the ball
misses and then recaptures the ball again. As a general rule it is tougher for a
player to get an offensive rebound than a defensive rebound because after a
shot misses the opposing team's players are closer to the basket and in a better
position to grab the ball.

3. Passing

A pass happens when one player throws the ball to another player with
the purpose of setting up a play or taking a shot.

Types of Pass

a) Chest Pass. Generally,

one foot is ahead of the
other, knees flexed
slightly. Ball is held at
chest level, fingers
spread at reach side of
the ball. Elbows remain
close to the body and the
ball is sent with extended
arms and proper wrist
snap, as one foot moves
toward the receiver.

b) Overhead Pass. Stand

in a short position, with
the ball held overhead.
The arms upward, throw
with a forceful wrist and
finger snap. The pass
should take a slight
downward path to be the
most effective.

c) Bounce Pass. Any of the

first three passes
described can be adapted
to make a bounce pass.
The object is to get the
pass to the receiver on
first bounce so that the
ball comes to this out
stretched hands about
waist high. The ball must
be bounced a little more
than halfway between
the two players.

 d) Over-head pass. This pass,
as seen in soccer, is great
for throwing long distance
passes to your teammates. It
allows you to throw the ball
across most of the court
without putting too much
effort. Players usually use
this pass towards the end of
the game when there isn't
much time on the clock and
they need to advance the
ball quickly without wasting
time dribbling it up the
court

e) Baseball Pass. The

baseball basketball pass is
thrown just like throwing
a baseball. It is the most
difficult pass. The passer
faces sideways to the
target (parallel to the
sideline) with the
throwing hand behind.
Body weight starts on the
back foot. Keep two
hands on the ball as long
as possible to stop the
pass or ball fake, if
necessary. Passer begins
with the ball behind his
ear with his opposite arm
extended and pointing
toward the target. The
fingers are spread behind the ball. Bring the ball forward past the ear
by leading with the elbow and stepping with the opposite foot. Shift the
weight to the front foot and follow through in the direction of the
throw.

4. Dribbling

Dribbling is a basic skill done by pushing the ball repeatedly to the floor.
Tapping the ball is not allowed. The fingers control the ball. This can be done
different levels: high, medium, high, low and very low. It can also be done fast
and slow.

Types of Dribbles

a) Control Dribble. This can be used to protect the ball from an opponent
who is close by.
How to execute:
 Keep in a somewhat
bent over crouch
position.
 Keep your body
between the ball and
the defender.
 Keep the ball low to
the floor behind and
close your body.
 Keep your other arm
straight out in front of
you as a guard against
the defender.

b) Speed Dribble. This can

be done during a fast
break situation or when
no opponent is guarding
the ball handler.
How to Execute:
 Push the ball forward
ahead of you several
feet
 Bounce the ball at
leash waist high
 Keep your head up and visualize the whole court so you can find the
open team mate.
 Often, a jump stop at the end of the speed dribble will allow you to
maintain control and avoid a travelling call

c) High Bounce Dribble. The high
dribble is used to move the ball
up the court quickly usually used
after steals and during fast-
break opportunities.
How to Execute:
 Keep torso erect and push
the top of the ball forward
well ahead of your body.
 The bounce of the ball
should reach anywhere from
between the upper thigh to
slightly above your waist.

d) Crossover Dribble. Simply,

this is a switch of dribbling
from one hand to the other.
Use this to quickly change your
direction at the court
How to execute:
 Bounce the ball in front of
you across to the other side
for example with your right
hand to the right wing.
 Then suddenly crossover the
dribble to the left and
driving up the lane with the
opposite hand.

e) Hesitation Dribble (Rocker

Move). This is another fake
move to get you around the
defender in the open court.
How to execute:
 Speed dribble up to the
defender
 Suddenly come to a stop by
putting the inside foot forward
and “rocking” backward onto
your outside foot.
 As the defender closes, you
blow around his side, resuming
the speed dribble straight to
the hoop.

f) Between the Legs Dribble.
This is used to go past a
defender who is overplaying
you.
How to execute:
 If you are going left,
begin with the rapid low
dribbles with your right
hand.
 Take a deep step forward
with your left foot and
flick the ball through your
legs to your left hand
 Keep your body low as
you move forward to your
left.

DEFENSIVE SKILLS

1. Blocking. The block is another spectacular crowd favorite. It occurs when

the offensive player shoots and the defender swats the ball away, blocking its
trajectory to the basket and preventing any points from being scored.

2. Stealing. The steal, or taking the ball away from an opposing player to gain
possession for your own team, requires quick hands and great timing. A player
can steal a pass out of midair or from the other team while someone is
dribbling.

3. Defensive Rebounding. A defensive rebound is obtained when one team

misses a shot and the opposing team grabs the ball. An important skill needed
to collect defensive rebounds is known as boxing out, a technique by which
players use their bodies to shield the opposing team from grabbing the ball.

BASKETBALL POSITIONS

A basketball team can have a lot of players, but only five can play in a game at
any one time. Players in a basketball game have assigned basketball positions:
center, power forward, small forward, point guard, and shooting guard.

PHED 104 – Team Sports Module III

Center
The center is the tallest player on each team, playing near the basket. On
offense, the center tries to score on close shots and rebound. But on defense, the
center tries to block opponents’ shots and rebound their misses.

Power Forward
The power forward does many of the things a center does, playing near the
basket while rebounding and defending taller players. But power forwards also
take longer shots than centers.

Small Forward
The small forward plays against small and large players. They roam all over on
the court. Often primarily responsible for scoring points via cuts to the basket
and dribble penetration; on defense seeks rebounds and steals

Point Guard
Usually the fastest player on the team, organizes the team's offense by
controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right player at the right
time; can also be called the “Floor General”

Shooting Guard
The team’s best shooter is shooting guard. The shooting guard usually tends to
guard the opponent's best perimeter player on defense. The shooting guard can
make shots from long distance and also is a good dribbler.

 ACTIVITY

Perform the following skills essentials in playing basketball:

1) Ball Handling Drill

a) Get a basketball (borrow from your barangay hall if you don’t have
your own). Stand in place and dribble the ball. Your goal is to
dribble the ball using your right hand for 5 times and left hand for 5
times. (15 points)

b) For the second round, dribble the ball alternately from your right
hand to your left hand. Do this 10 times.(15 Points)

2) Dribbling in Motion Drills

a) Measure a 3 meter distance from start to goal on the floor (make sure
the floor is a flat surface). Place a chair on the goal area. Dribble the
ball following a straight direction to your goal back to your starting
line and keeping your head straight to your goal (without looking
down the ball). (15 points)
b) For the second round, measure a 3 meter distance from starting line
to the goal area. Put five chairs alternately on the right and left with
equal distances up to the goal area. Follow a zigzag motion while
dribbling the ball using your dominant hand and put your other hand
at the back while threading the way alternately to form a zigzag line
towards your goal area back to your starting line.(15 points)
