Basketball Rules: How To Play Basketball

Photo credit: Keith Allison (Source)

Basketball dates back as far as 1891 and since then has evolved into a sport played around the world. Many countries have adopted the game such as Russia, Great Britain, Germany, Spain and parts of Asia, but it is America where the biggest and most lucrative league in the world lives: the NBA (National Basketball Association).

Object of the Game

The object of basketball is to throw the ball (basketball) into a hoop to score points. The game is played out on a rectangular court and depending on which section of court you successfully throw a ball into the basket will depend on how many points are scored. The ball can be moved around the by dribbling or passing the ball. At the end of the game the team with the most points is declared the winner.

Players & Equipment

Each team is made up of 12 players with only 5 allowed on the court at any time. The positions are broken up into Point Guard, Defensive Guard, Center, Offensive forward and Defensive Forward. Each player will then take up a position on the court but are allowed to move around as they please.

The court is a rectangular shaped and measures 91 feet long and 50 feet wide. There is a halfway line in which a small circle is found in the centre; this is where the game starts with a tip off (the ball is thrown in the air by the referee and a player from each team tries to win possession for their team). At each end of the court are two baskets both 10 feet in height. A three point arc is the outside ring, whilst in the middle of that is the key which includes a free throw line.

All that is needed to play is a court and basketball. Teams must wear matching strips with some players choosing to wear gum shields and face masks for protection.

The game is split up into 4 twelve minute quarters. In between the 2 nd and 3rd quarter is a 15 minute half time interval.

Scoring

There are three scoring numbers for basketball players. Any basket scored from outside the three point arc will result in three points being scored. Baskets scored within the three point arc will result in two points being scored. Successful free throws will result in 1 point being scored per free throw. The number of free throws will depend on where the foul was committed.

Winning the Game

Winning a game of basketball is pretty simple; score more points than your opponents in the allotted game time. If the scores are tied at the end then an extra quarter will be played until a winner is found.

Rules of Basketball

  • 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 half way 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 shot 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 offence whilst the team trying to prevent them from scoring is called the defence. The defence must do all they can to stop the offence 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 reached a certain number will be eventually be awarded as a free throw. A free throw involves one playerfrom the offensive team (the player fouled) to take a shot unopposed from the free throw line. Depending on where the foul was committed will depend on the number free throws a player gets.
  • Violations in basketball include travelling (taking more than one step without bouncing the ball), double dribble (picking the ball up dribbling, stopping then dribbling again with two hands), goaltending (a defensive player interferes with the ball travelling downwards towards the basket) and back court violation (once the ball passes the half way line the offensive team cannot take the ball back over the half way line).

I had a glitch... Can you fix it somehow???

When I opened the app, it was different. Well, that happens when you update apps. But, when I was versing someone, my guy’s head was stuck through the ground and that’s all I could see. Then, when the game started I couldn’t make any baskets because the ball was almost 10 my players’ head. So, because of that, I lost my game but it gave me like 500 coins and the reward was only 450. And it didn’t even take any points away for starting the game!!! Hey, I’m not complaining... But then I tried again and the next time it took away 300 points and the cost to start the game was 200! PLEASE HELP TO FIX THIS GLITCH!!!!
I LOVE THIS GAME AND I WANT IT TO BE THE BEST IT CAN BE!!! PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE!!! I would LOVE to have this fixed!
Thanks ahead of time,
Kelly ❤️

Great Game but needs maybe an update…

Ok, so yes the game is awesome but I recommend an update that allows you to create your own character. And also you should have female characters too. Cause there are girls in the world too, but anyway most importantly the prices for items/clothes are very high. I am a beginner but it is also very hard to get coins maybe you could update the game so you can get more coins when winning and when people lose you should also give them coins because they used up a lot of them to play online. Sorry for writing so much but I would consider doing an update…

Basketball rules for schoolchildren: clear and concise

Few people know, but it was in one American school that the first basketball appeared. One teacher challenged himself to come up with an intense and fun game, and his students really liked his idea. Many years have passed since then, but basketball remains one of the most popular sports in physical education classes. The rules and refereeing have become a little easier, but for the students and schools it has only benefited.

Brief history

Rugby was the most popular sport in the United States until the 20th century. It was a good relaxation and load for the students, but it required a lot of strength and heavy build of the players. James Naismith, a schoolteacher at one of the schools, set himself the task. He needed to come up with a game in which agility and speed would be the most important attributes of the players. Thus, James in 1891 came up with the first basketball prototype.

The PE teacher set up two baskets on opposite sides and told the students to throw the ball into someone else's basket. In the beginning, the basketball score might not differ much from the football score. The players pushed hard, and it rarely came to throws. However, with the help of word of mouth, the game suddenly began to gain popularity.

James began to come up with new rules and make basketball stricter and more spectacular. He placed the rings at a certain height and fastened them to metal shields. Wooden buckets now have a bottom cut out so that the ball can quickly fall to the players.

For about 50 years, basketball has evolved unevenly. He had bad moments, which were dictated by the Great War, the depression of the 30s, the Second World War. But at the same time, the game is starting to gain popularity in colleges and universities. In parallel with this, basketball came to the USSR. George Dupperon popularized this sport, and also held the first official games in 1906 year.

In 1946, the National Basketball Association (NBA) was formed. From now on, the game goes to a new level. Now basketball receives accreditation from partners and states that began to compete in the World and European Championships. Since the middle of the 20th century, millions of spectators have been riveted to the matches of this game.

The 10 Basic Rules of Basketball

The rules of basketball have been the same for years. In order for the game to be as fair and interesting as possible, the main ones are:

  1. No more than 5 players from each team can be on one field. Each team has 7 more members in reserve. The stock can change with the base at any time.
  2. The main goal is to shoot the ball into the enemy basket as many times as possible. Throws from longer distances give more points.
  3. The game consists of 4 parts, the break between them is 2 minutes. Between the two halves of the match, the break is longer - 15 minutes.
  4. The game starts with a jump ball. The referee throws the ball up, and the two players in the center try to knock it into their own half of the field.
  5. The technique of moving with the ball across the field is important: it is imperative to run with the ball, hitting it on the floor, and deliberately hitting it with your foot or fist is a violation.
  6. The team with the most points in the limited time wins. If at the agreed time the score is equal, then an additional time of 5 minutes is played. It will run until one of the teams wins by points.
  7. Game time limits must be respected. So, 24 seconds are given for an attack in the opponent's half of the field, and no more than 8 seconds for taking the ball out of one's own zone. The three-second rule says that you can stay under the ring for no more than 3 seconds, then the ball is out of bounds.
  8. Basketball is a non-contact game in which physical pressure cannot be exerted on the opponent. If the contact of the players was too rough, then such a violation is punishable by free throws.
  9. If the ball goes out of bounds, it must go to the opposing team.
  10. You cannot return the ball to your own half of the field after an attack. This is a violation.

How many points are given for what

As already mentioned, in basketball, different numbers of points are given for different shots. In total, there are three options for accruing when the ball hits the basket:

  • 1 point. Given on a free throw. The team throws the ball into the basket from a line close to the ring.
  • 2 points. For hitting from medium and close range. The most frequently scored points in basketball.
  • 3 points. The ball hit the basket from a distance. Usually such throws can be made from a distance of more than 7 meters.

Although long-range shots are the most valued, the score in the game is gained mainly due to 2-point shots. This is due to the fact that even for professionals such hits are complex and rare.

Is it possible to play by simplified rules?

For schoolchildren of all ages, playing basketball according to the official rules can seem quite difficult, so schools do not penalize so much for violations. It is possible to play by simplified rules, but for this you will need to agree among yourself on what can and cannot be done. Most often, the rules remain unchanged: the ban on physical contact, match on points, hitting the ball in touch, the rule of the "middle" line.

To simplify the game, teachers in grades 5-6-7 most often forget about time limits. So for an attack, an unlimited amount of time is given (instead of 24 seconds), and for defense, you can pass passes in your own half for quite some time. Since students rarely throw the ball further than 7 meters from the ring, three points during the game are rarely awarded.

Rules of the Seconds

There are times in basketball that all players and both teams must play. Violation of these rules will be regarded as a foul:

  • 3 seconds. The athlete spent more than three seconds in the “paint”. In order to "reset" the timer, you need to go with both feet over the line. Otherwise, the violation will be punished with an out and the transfer of the ball to the opposite team.
  • 5 seconds of passivity. When closely guarded by the opponent (less than 1 meter), the athlete does not pass or throw for 5 seconds. This is a violation and is punishable by an out and passing the ball to the other team.
  • 8 seconds. If the players of the team do not remove the ball from their own half of the field during this time, then a violation is counted. After the lead athlete has entered someone else's zone, the ball cannot be returned back.
  • 10 seconds. The free throw must be taken within this time. Otherwise, all additional attempts will be canceled and the other team will receive the ball.
  • 24 seconds. The attack must be carried out within this time. If the players did not have time to complete it due to some circumstances (foul or out), then their stay time can be increased to 14 seconds. If this time the attack is not completed, then the team is declared a violation.
  • 30 seconds. A throw attempt must be made at least once during this time. Otherwise, the ball will go to the other team.

The rules of seconds are quite strictly observed in professional basketball, but they are not followed in school. Otherwise, the game turns into an endless violation of the rules and the imposition of penalties because of this.

Fouls and Penalties

If the seconds rules are eliminated, there are two areas for fouls - physical contact and loss of the ball. If one of the teams plays too rough, the referee may issue a warning. If such warnings were given to one player 5 during one match, then this person is removed from the field.

Do not grab the opponent by the arms or enclose him in tongs. You need to play mainly by covering the partners of the enemy team and blocking the passes and throws of the player. If the violation is gross, the referee will award free throws. Their number may vary depending on the severity of physical contact.

A special role is given to how to dribble the ball. You can not pick it up and walk around the field. You need to lead it rhythmically, hitting the floor every time you take a step. Otherwise, the player is credited with a "run", and the team passes the ball to their opponents. You cannot dribble the ball with both hands at the same time or purposely kick it with your foot. This is also considered a violation.

Playing basketball

Position of the players

Since there are 5 players in the team, the positions are the same:

  1. Point guard. The main brain of the team and the "conductor" of its orchestra. The point guard tends to have the smallest physical attributes, but focuses not on speed or shooting, but on passing and dribbling. Such a player always has several options in his head for playing, as well as for carrying out an attack. In fast playing conditions, he never gets lost and helps his team by creating scoring chances.
  2. Attacking defender. The person who is responsible in the team for successful long-range and medium throws. These players usually don't have any obvious strengths, but they need to be fast enough to cover the distance from their own ring to someone else's. The shooting guard has one of the most important roles in scoring goals.
  3. Light forward. This player is higher than the previous ones, but his main task is no longer defense, but attack and score. A light forward will achieve results through good dribbling and speed. This player scores the most goals, and therefore he can be considered the main person responsible for the team's performance. Well blocks throws on the approach of opponents. Also, this player can move into the category of powerful forwards if he gains enough muscle and mass.
  4. Power forward. One of the easiest roles in the team. Its goal is quite easy to understand, but only truly powerful and tall players will be able to achieve it. This player has the largest height and mass in the team. When attacking, he stands in the zone for 3 seconds and tries to pick up the ball. Usually in this area of ​​the site the most intense struggle takes place, in which the power forward must pick up the ball and throw it into the basket. The number four has recently started to play as an attacking player, before that he played the role of rebounding the ball in defense under his ring.
  5. Center. The main task is to recover the ball at the beginning of the match and in controversial moments. The center player is versatile in terms of his set of qualities, but at the same time he must be as strong and big as a powerful forward. This person picks up balls from the enemy basket and fights in the center of the field. Good free throws are important to him, as well as the ability to block opponent passes. He usually scores the highest number of blocks and successful rebounds per game.
Placement of basketball players on the field

Now the roles of the players are rather blurred and universal. Due to the great popularity of basketball in good teams, there is always a choice between a more enduring player or a taller one. Therefore, the roles are often mixed up, supplemented, and the coaches themselves say: the main thing is not your role in the team, but how much you benefit it.

Basic terms

To easily navigate the game, it is worth understanding some words. Players use them during the match, as they are shorter and clearer than their long counterparts. For example, there are such concepts:

  • Paint. This is the 3 second zone where 2-point shots are made and the main fight takes place.
Basketball red zone
  • Dunk. This is a way to shoot the ball when a small or power forward jumps to the ring and puts the ball in the basket. Looks very impressive.
  • Treshka. This is a throw worth 3 points. Sometimes it is called distant or arc.
  • Vi-cat. This is an opening for your partner to receive a pass or get out of pressure.
  • Brick. When thrown, the ball hit the ring and its metal rod, but the backboard was not hit.
  • Jogging. An offense in which a player with the ball in his hands took more than two steps and did not pass, did not shoot.
  • Lay-up. Throw from under the basket.
  • Assistant A pass to a player who immediately scored a goal after it.
  • Pick. After a throw or block, an attempt to reach the ball and take possession of it.

Of course, this is not the whole list of game terms, but if you list all the slang and concepts of basketball, then you can make a list of a couple of dozen A4 sheets. Here are the most common concepts that both professionals and beginners should know.

November 2017

Having noticed the best flash games sinking into the depths of the site, we decided to help you play the old forgotten but popular ones through the display of the new panel. It is not available on all monitors, but only starting with a resolution of 1280px, so as not to distract owners of small screens on the current page. Depending on the genres of the current game, we show different collections, so they differ on different pages.

And also our old and attentive visitors have noticed changes in the main and additional menus. All this is aimed at improving the usability of the site by avid players. We try to make it better (although someone rightly notes here - remove ads and it will be fine) - we answer this something like this: everyone wants to eat and in order to keep all content free for use, put yourself AdBlock and there will be no problems. This is a standard plug-in that cuts out ads inside games and on the pages of gaming sites.

June 2017

As expected, cool and top games were not always pushed to the top. After disassembling and reassembling everything, our team found a way to slip the coolest flash drives upstairs. I hope you will appreciate the ratings that are built with your active participation and the resulting content will give odds to competitors :)

Dear friends. We decided to make a new sorting for game search, it's called Sticky. We find and display the toys that you most often stick to. Turned on - and let's play non-stop. Because everyone considers popularity, novelty - this and that, then we decided to please you with one more filter, according to which games that take a lot of time will be found. Be careful, because starting to play them you can miss such a great weather on the street :).

Given the fact that the flash plugin is blocked by chrome and other browsers, we firstly disabled ads before loading the game (it was a flash movie), and secondly, we decided to add more HTML5. HTML5 is universal and works regardless of the platform on which you open it (PC, Mac, Android smartphone, iPhone, iPad, etc.) support for this plugin will also become limited soon (google said) and unity3d games often hang your browser, which leads to the fact that you leave our beautiful site for other places :)

February 2017

In February 2017, the algorithm for counting thematic and popular games (based on which listings are built in sections) was updated. We decided to calculate the popularity of each game not by the number of its views, but by its duration - this allowed us to identify really popular flash drives on which you hang out for a long time.
As far as theme games are concerned, here we had to combine several mathematical models to display really themed flash drives. Those. if earlier under each game you saw mostly top ones (and they were often the same everywhere), now they are shown more diversely and correctly (in our opinion).

January 2017

Since January 2017, a new menu with a large number of heroes has been added to the site. To some, this option of a sliding menu may seem inconvenient, but I assure you that this is a matter of habit. With a large menu, it has become more convenient to poke at a game genre. And we tried to sort the genres as close as possible to the preferences of our visitors. Added new sections - minecraft and transformers, I don't know why they are so wildly popular :)

July 2016

Since July 2016, we have added the ability to play downloadable iframes (they are on the developers' sites) in a separate window. This will allow, firstly, to increase the size in the visible part of the screen, and secondly, the absence of advertising and other garbage. Often, a flash drive opened in a separate window works faster than one loaded in a standard page (due to the lack of advertising and other page elements).

If you are looking for a site that contains the best and most interesting flash games for adults and children, then you have found it, because on Game01 you can play anything you want!
