Basketball is a great game between two teams the aim of the is to get the ball in the hoop as many times as possible the team that gets the most goals wins and moves on to the next game, getting closer to the finals. What is Basketball??

Bounce the ball Cant carry ball unless your passing No coming in contact with the other team 5 people from each team is only allowed on the court except for referee Don’t cross half line then cross back that is cross court Cant dribble carry dribble If you shoot outside the curved line, around the key and get it in that is worth 3 points. If you shoot within the curved line and u get it in you will get 2 points Game rules

Uniform In Basketball we have 2 teams so we have a different uniform for each team so players can recognise the players on there team when they play. In Basketball you have to wear shorts a jersey, socks and shoes. Teams use this so they aren't as hot or sweaty and they keep there feet protected with shoes

There are stages for basketball you can go from starting off and playing in mini ball to domestic basketball you can go higher to rep ball, If you’re your good enough you can represent Australia, if you want to achieve the highest you can get you can go down American college basketball and hopefully get drafted to into NBA, the best league in the world.
