Basic Skills In Basketball – Passing & Bouncing
What is Basketball?
Basketball is a team sport played with a ball on a rectangular court. The goal is to score points by throwing the ball through a hoop. There are many skills involved in basketball, but some of the most important ones include passing and bouncing.
Passing
Passing involves sharing the basketball with teammates to move it around the court. Players use their hands to throw or “pass” the ball to a teammate. There are many different types of passes in basketball, such as:
- Chest Pass: A simple pass where the ball is thrown from the chest to a teammate.
- Bounce Pass: A pass where the ball is bounced off the floor to a teammate.
- Overhead Pass: A pass where the ball is thrown over the head to a teammate.
Passing is crucial for teamwork, allowing players to work together and create opportunities to score.
Bouncing
Bouncing is the skill of dribbling the basketball, meaning players control the ball by repeatedly bouncing it on the floor. It helps players move with the ball while maintaining possession. Bouncing requires good hand-eye coordination and ball control.
Some of the important points to remember when bouncing include:
- Use your fingertips: This helps you control the ball better.
- Keep your eyes up: This helps you see where you’re going and what’s happening around you.
- Keep the ball low: This makes it harder for opponents to steal the ball.
