Two teams of five players each team try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground.
The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end.

4. 9 tips to improve your dribbling
The ball is moved down the court toward the basket by passing or dribbling.
The team with the ball is called the offense.
The team without the ball is called the defense.
Defense try to steal the ball, contest shots, steal and deflect passes, and garner rebounds to become the offense again.

9 tips to improve your dribbling

5. Use your finger tips to control the ball, not your palm.
9 Tips To Improve Your Dribbling & Ball Handling
Dribble the ball hard. The more time the ball spends in your hand, the more control you have of the ball. The harder you dribble, the quicker it gets back in your hand.
Head up at all times. Look at the rim or a spot on the wall during all practice.
Use your finger tips to control the ball, not your palm.
Use your imagination. Picture when and how you would use each of the dribbles.
Teach mentality. There is too much dribbling for no reason in our game today. I like to teach that the primary purpose for putting the ball on the floor is to get a lay-up. If you don't have an opportunity, don't put it on the floor.
Basketball is a game of length. Work on lengthening the dribble. Work to get your opportunities with 1 dribble. You don't beat defenses with your dribble. You beat people with your feet; you SEPARATE from your defense with the dribble.
Basketball is also a game of angles. Try to move in straight lines. Whenever you make an "East-West" move (something that takes you toward the sideline), re-capture a "North-South" path (direct line to the basket) as quickly as possible.
Don't do things in 2 dribbles that you can do in 1.
Practice outside your comfort zone. Experiment; go faster than you are used to, use your imagination. When working on new skills, don't be concerned with losing the ball. Just pick it up and do it again. If you practice only things that are comfortable, then you will never improve.

6. The court is divided into two main sections by the mid-court line.
If the offensive team puts the ball into play behind the mid-court line, it has ten seconds to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it doesn't, then the defense gets the ball. Defense uses plays to stop the ball from getting across half court. (Half-court press)
Once the offensive team gets the ball over the mid-court line, it can no longer have possession of the ball in the area in back of the line. If it does, the defense is awarded the ball. The call by the referee is Back Court.

7. Chest Pass
Receive the ball in the triple-threat position (feet shoulder-width apart and slightly staggered, knees bent, shooting hand on top of the ball and your other hand to the side, and elbows bent at 90-degree angles).
Hold the ball on a level even with your sternum.
Push off your back foot.  
Take a step with your front foot.
Extend your arms in a quick motion to pass the ball.  
When your teammate is moving, lead the ball far enough in front of your teammate so he or she doesn't have to break stride to catch it. When your teammate is standing still, pass the ball so your teammate is not forced to move.
Avoid using the chest pass when a defender is lurking around your teammate. This pass is easier to steal because it's generally thrown in a straight line.  
You can throw the chest pass with velocity since you don't bounce it.  
The chest pass is best used on the perimeter of the court.

8. Bounce Pass
Receive the ball in the triple-threat position (feet shoulder-width apart and slightly staggered, knees bent, shooting hand on top of the ball and your other hand to the side, and elbows bent to 90-degree angles).
Hold the ball at waist level. You may need to alter the position of the ball from hip to hip depending on your defender's location.  
Aim for a spot three-quarters of the way between you and your teammate.  
Push off your back foot.  
Take a step with your front foot.
Extend your arms in a quick, downward motion to pass the ball.    
When your teammate is moving, lead the ball far enough in front so your teammate can catch the ball in stride.
Pass the ball so your teammate is not forced to move.
Attempt to get your teammate the ball so that he or she is in the triple-threat position upon receiving the ball.
The bounce pass is difficult for a defender to steal. The change of direction is hard for the defender to judge.  
When your teammate is on the move, a bounce pass is easier to handle than a chest or overhead pass.  
Practice the trajectory and speed of your bounce pass to increase your accuracy.  
Try not to telegraph your pass to your defender. Learn to feint a move in a different direction first, or develop your "no look" passing.

9. Overhead Pass
Receive the ball in triple-threat position (feet shoulder-width apart and slightly staggered; knees bent; shooting hand on top of the ball and your other hand to the side; and your elbows bent almost 90 degrees).
Place your hands on either side of the ball.
Bring the ball directly behind your head with your forearms parallel to the court.  
Push off your front foot.
Take a step with your back foot.  
Snap your elbows down with your arms, finishing when arms are completely extended in front of you.  
There's no need to mimic the Incredible Hulk with this pass and throw too hard - it will already be a powerful pass.
Use this pass when you need to go over the top of your defender. Keep in mind, however, that it's an easy pass to steal.

10. Behind the Back Pass Hold the ball in both hands.
Begin moving the shoulder of your dominant hand toward your back.
Cup the ball in your dominant hand.
Cock your wrist with your fingers pointed in the direction your shoulder is moving.
Carry the ball 180 degrees so the ball is now behind you. Your arm should be wrapped around behind you as if you're getting ready to take a formal bow.
Release the ball directly behind you.
Practice against a wall to determine your release point.
This pass is much more effective when you're moving because you can more easily go in the opposite direction of the ball.
Be patient. It takes some time to figure out the motion.
If you're not comfortable with the pass, don't do it in a game situation.
Learn to pass accurately without looking where you're throwing.

23. Scoring
When a team makes a basket, they score two points and the ball goes to the other team.
When the other team passes the ball in they do not have to give the ball to the referee. This is called a live ball. (All other times it must go to the referee first.) They may also use the entire base line to run up and down for an open pass opportunity. This cause the play to go by faster. (You do not wait for the defense to set up their defense)
If a basket, or field goal, is made outside of the three-point arc, then that basket is worth three points.
A free throw is worth one point. Free throws are awarded to a team according to some formats involving the number of fouls committed in a half and/or the type of foul committed. Fouling a shooter always results in two or three free throws being awarded the shooter, depending upon where he was when he shot. If he was beyond the three-point line, then he gets three shots.
Other types of fouls do not result in free throws being awarded until 7 teams fouls have accumulated during a half. Once that number is reached, then the player who was fouled is awarded a '1-and-1' opportunity. If he makes his first free throw, he gets to attempt a second. If he misses the first shot, the ball is live on the rebound. If the team fouls have reached 10 or more then every foul results in two free throw attempts.
If the ball does not hit the rim on the free throw attempt. The ball is awarded to the other team and is handed in like a dead ball would be.

25. Time limit
Each game is divided into sections. All levels have two halves. In high school and below, the halves are divided into eight (and sometimes, six This is typical for Middle School) minute quarters. There is a gap of several minutes between halves. Gaps between quarters are relatively short 60sec.. If the score is tied at the end of regulation, then overtime periods of various lengths are played until a winner emerges; 3 minutes in middle school and 5 in high school.

26. Amount of time allotted
Time outs each team is awarded three full (1 minute) and two 30seconds.
Half time is an average of 5min. In Junior High and 8 to 10 minutes in High School.
Warm up is any where from 5 minutes to 30 minutes depending upon when the challenging teams shows up.

27. Beginning and Half Time
Each team is assigned a basket or goal to defend. This means that the other basket is their scoring basket. At halftime, the teams switch goals. The game begins with one player from either team at center court. A referee will toss the ball up between the two. The player that gets his hands on the ball will tip it to a teammate. This is called a tip-off. In addition to stealing the ball from an opposing player, there are other ways for a team to get the ball. One such way is if the other team commits a foul or violation.

28. Tip-Off

29. Fouls
Personal fouls: Personal fouls include any type of illegal physical contact. Hitting
Pushing
Slapping
Holding
Illegal pick/screen -- when an offensive player is moving. An offensive player sticks out a limb and makes physical contact with a defender in an attempt to block the path of the defender.

30. Personal Foul Penalties
If a player is shooting while a being fouled, then he gets two free throws if his shot doesn't go in, but only one free throw if his shot does go in. Three free throws are awarded if the player is fouled while shooting for a three-point goal and they miss their shot. If a player is fouled while shooting a three-point shot and makes it anyway, he is awarded one free throw. Thus, he could score four points on the play.
Inbounds. If fouled while not shooting, the ball is given to the team the foul was committed upon. They get the ball at the nearest side or baseline, out of bounds, and have 5 seconds to pass the ball onto the court.
One & one. If the team committing the foul has seven or more fouls in the game, then the player who was fouled is awarded one free throw. If he makes his first shot, then he is awarded another free throw.
Ten or more fouls. If the team committing the foul has ten or more fouls, then the fouled player receives two free throws.

31. Personal Foul Penalties
Charging. An offensive foul that is committed when a player pushes or runs over a defensive player. The ball is given to the team that the foul was committed upon. Blocking. Blocking is illegal personal contact resulting from a defender not establishing position in time to prevent an opponent's drive to the basket. Flagrant foul. Violent contact with an opponent. This includes hitting, kicking, and punching. This type of foul results in free throws plus the offense retaining possession of the ball after the free throws. Intentional foul. When a player makes physical contact with another player with no reasonable effort to steal the ball. It is a judgment call for the officials. Technical foul. Technical foul. A player or a coach can commit this type of foul. It does not involve player contact or the ball but is instead about the 'manners' of the game. Foul language, obscenity, obscene gestures, and even arguing can be considered a technical foul, as can technical details regarding filling in the scorebook improperly or dunking during warm-ups.

33. Violations

34. Violations
Walking/Traveling. Taking more than 'a step and a half' without dribbling the ball is traveling. Moving your pivot foot once you've stopped dribbling is traveling. Carrying/palming. When a player dribbles the ball with his hand too far to the side of or, sometimes, even under the ball. Double Dribble. Dribbling the ball with both hands on the ball at the same time or picking up the dribble and then dribbling again is a double dribble. Held ball. Occasionally, two or more opposing players will gain possession of the ball at the same time. In order to avoid a prolonged and/or violent tussle, the referee stops the action and awards the ball to one team or the other on a rotating basis. Goaltending. If a defensive player interferes with a shot while it's on the way down toward the basket, while it's on the way up toward the basket after having touched the backboard, or while it's in the cylinder above the rim, it's goaltending and the shot counts. If committed by an offensive player, it's a violation and the ball is awarded to the opposing team for a throw-in. Backcourt violation. Once the offense has brought the ball across the mid-court line, they cannot go back across the line during possession. If they do, the ball is awarded to the other team to pass inbounds. Time restrictions. A player passing the ball inbounds has five seconds to pass the ball. If he does not, then the ball is awarded to the other team. Other time restrictions include the rule that a player cannot have the ball for more than five seconds when being closely guarded and, in some states and levels, shot-clock restrictions requiring a team to attempt a shot within a given time frame.

36. Player Positions
Center. Centers are generally your tallest players. They generally are positioned near the basket. Offensive -- The center's goal is to get open for a pass and to shoot. They are also responsible for blocking defenders, known as picking or screening, to open other players up for driving to the basket for a goal. Centers are expected to get some offensive rebounds and put-backs. Defensive -- On defense, the center's main responsibility is to keep opponents from shooting by blocking shots and passes in the key area. They also are expected to get a lot of rebounds because they're taller. Forward. Your next tallest players will most likely be your forwards. While a forward may be called upon to play under the hoop, they may also be required to operate in the wings and corner areas. Offensive -- Forwards are responsible to get free for a pass, take outside shots, drive for goals, and rebound. Defensive -- Responsibilities include preventing drives to the goal and rebounding. Guard. These are potentially your shortest players and they should be really good at dribbling fast, seeing the court, and passing. It is their job to bring the ball down the court and set up offensive plays. Offensive -- Dribbling, passing, and setting up offensive plays are a guard's main responsibilities. They also need to be able to drive to the basket and to shoot from the perimeter. Defensive -- On defense, a guard is responsible for stealing passes, contesting shots, preventing drives to the hoop, and for boxing out.
