Basketball

Basketball is a game were the ball must be thrown into a hoop on both ends of the court.

There are only 5 players allowed on the court at any one time. usually the positions are 2 guards (to pester incoming players whilst in defence and dribble the ball up the court during attack). 2 forwards (to help defend the basket in defence and to shoot in attack) and a centre (located under the basket in defence and to shoot during attack).

Players need to bounce the ball as they run up the court never taking more than 3 steps without bouncing the ball. players can only dribble with one hand at a time and may not stop and hold the ball then continue again.

no contact is allowed to be made with the player in possession of the ball.
