Since the invention of basketball, coaches have been looking for ways to make their practices more efficient. Players have limited spans, gyms have scheduling limitations and there is only so much physical and mental work We can before we hit a point of diminishing returns. We all have a limited amount of time to work with our teams and we want to get the most out of the time.
The game of basketball was invented over a hundred and fifteen years ago by Dr. James Naismith. although the game has undergone a lot of changes, the fundamentals of how to play basketball still remain the same. To start playing the game, we need to first gather the equipments. This should be very easy as the game only requires a ball and two hoops perched at a height of ten feet at the opposite ends of the court. next, we need to set the teams. Two teams with members per team. the object of the game, very obviouslyis to score baskets. As for the length of the game, the famous National Basketball Association(NBA) teams play a 60 minutes game with four15 minutes session. The length can vary based on tournaments and organizations. Each goal or basket is worth 2 points. However, if a basket is scored from outside the 3 point line, that is the arc shaped line outside the free throw line, then the basket is worth 3 points.
Some very important rules to remember while playing the basketball can be enumerated as follows:
1. The dribble ends when you stop and hold the ball.
2. If you hold a ball for more than five seconds, then you incur a penalty as well as lose the possession of the ball.
3. An attempt to unfairly disadvantage an opponent through physical contact is illegal and is called a foul.
4. You are allowed five fouls per game. After that, you are removed from the game.
5. On offense, you cannot remain in the "key" (area designated underneath and directly in front of basket) for more than 3-seconds. If there is a 3-second violation, there will be a subsequent change of possession.
