10 Basketball court
 Basketball is a team sport that
involves two teams of five players
trying to score points through a 300 cm
(10 feet) high hoop. It is played on both
indoor and outdoor courts, and the
dimension and the length of the game
can vary depending on the age, size,
and skill level of players.
 James Naismith invented the game of
basketball in 1891 in Springfield,
Massachusetts, to help athletes stay in shape
during the colder months. He made 13 rules for
the game and divided his class of 18 students
into two teams of nine players. The objective of
the game was to throw the basketball into the
fruit baskets nailed to the lower railing of the
gym's balcony. After some time, the bottoms of
the fruit baskets were removed, making
retrieving the ball easier,
1. The ball could be thrown in any direction with one hand or
both hands.
2. The ball could also be battled in any direction by one hand
or with both hands.
3. Players could not run with the ball, and they must throw it
from the spot on which it is caught.
4. The ball had to be held in the hands only,
5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, tripping or
striking opponents, first is foul and the second disqualifies
the player until the next goal unless there is no intent to
cause harm.
6. A foul is striking the ball with the fist. violation of Rules 3, 4,
and such as described in Rule number 5.
7. Opponents can score goals by committing three
consecutive fouls.
8. A goal is made when the ball is thrown or battled
from the ground and into the basket, and if the ball
rests on the edge or opponents move the basket.
9. If the ball goes out of bounds, the ball must be
thrown into the field and played by the first person to
touch it, with five seconds to do so or it goes to the
opponent.
10. Umpires will note fouls and notify the referee when
three consecutive fouls have been made.
11. The referee judges the ball and decides when
the ball is in play, in-bounds and to which side it
belongs. They also keep the time and divide when a
goal has been made and keep account of these.
12. The time is fifteen-minute halves, with a five-
minute rest between.
13. The side making the most goals in the time
aforementioned will be the winner. In the case of a
draw, the game may be continued until another goal
is made.
● Each team can have a maximum of 5 players on the court at any one
time. Substitutions can be made as many times as they wish within the
game.

● The ball can only be moved by either dribbling (bouncing the ball) or
passing the ball. Once a player puts two hands on the ball (not
including catching the ball) they cannot then dribble or move with the
ball and the ball must be passed or shot.

● After the ball goes into a team’s half and they win possession back the
ball must then make it back over the halfway line within 10 seconds. If
the ball fails to do so then a foul will be called and the ball will be turned
over.
● Each team has 24 seconds to at least shoot at the basket. A shot
constitutes either going in the basket or hitting the rim of the basket. If
after the shot is taken and the ball fails to go in the basket then the shot
clock is restarted for another 24 seconds.

● The team trying to score a basket is called the offense whilst the team
trying to prevent them from scoring is called defense. The defense
must do all they can to stop the offense from scoring by either blocking
a shot or preventing a shot from being fired.

● After each successful basket the ball is then turned over to the
opposition
● Fouls committed throughout the game will be
accumulated and then when reaching a certain
number will eventually be awarded as a free throw. A
free throw involves one player from the offensive
team (the player fouled) taking a shot unopposed
from the free-throw line. Depending on where the foul
was committed will depend on the number of free
throws a player gets.
