III. Introduction/Review/Content:
A significant body of research has found that in addition to the obvious improved physical health
sports play a positive role in supporting youth development, leading to improved academic
achievement, fewer behavioral problems, better psychosocial health, and more.
In fact, almost every study reveals benefits in competence, character, confidence, and other critical
components of positive development.

Because of this, it’s clear that the various facets of playing sports, from the discipline of training to
the balance provided by teamwork, could provide lifelong skills for athletes.
It’s clear that the hard work and determination that goes into learning and playing a team sport
teaches young adults the value of crucial concepts such as cooperation, socialization, and
leadership.
In a sports scenario, Cadets can simply put their differences aside and cooperate for the greater
good of the team. At the same time, the act of playing sports as a team encourages socialization,
helping students to form deeper bonds with their peers over a shared passion.
Basketball, game played between two teams of five players each on a rectangular court, usually
indoors. Each team tries to score by tossing the ball through the opponent’s goal, an elevated
horizontal hoop and net called a basket.
The only major sport strictly of U.S. origin, basketball was invented by James Naismith (1861–
1939) on or about December 1, 1891, at the International Young Men’s Christian Association
(YMCA) Training School (now Springfield College), Springfield, Massachusetts, where Naismith
was an instructor in physical education.
Equipment
The only essential equipment in a basketball game is the ball and the court: a flat, rectangular
surface with baskets at opposite ends.
Competitive levels require the use of more equipment such as clocks, score sheets, scoreboard(s),
alternating possession arrows, and whistle-operated stop-clock systems.
The basket is a steel rim 18 inches (46 cm) diameter with an attached net affixed to a backboard
that measures 6 by 3.5 feet (1.8 by 1.1 meters) and one basket is at each end of the court. The
white outlined box on the backboard is 18 inches (46 cm) high and 2 feet (61 cm) wide. At almost
all levels of competition, the top of the rim is exactly 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the court and 4
feet (1.22 meters) inside the baseline.

The size of the basketball is also regulated. For men, the official ball is 29.5 inches (75 cm) in circumference
(size 7, or a "295 ball") and weighs 22 oz (623.69 grams). If women are playing, the official basketball size is
28.5 inches (72 cm) in circumference (size 6, or a "285 ball") with a weight of 20 oz (567 grams).
Violations - The ball may be advanced toward the basket by being shot, passed between players,
thrown, tapped, dribbled (bouncing the ball while running).
The ball must stay within the court; the last team to touch the ball before it travels out of bounds
forfeits possession. The ball is out of bounds if it touches a boundary line, or touches any player or
object that is out of bounds.
There are limits placed on the steps a player may take without dribbling, the ball may not be kicked,
nor be struck with the fist. For the offense, a violation of these rules results in loss of possession;
There are limits imposed on the time taken before progressing the ball past halfway (8 seconds)

before attempting a shot (24 seconds), holding the ball while closely guarded (5 seconds), and
remaining in the restricted area known as the free-throw lane, (or the "key") (3 seconds). These
rules are designed to promote more offense.
Fouls - An attempt to unfairly disadvantage an opponent through certain types of physical contact
is illegal and is called a personal foul. These are most commonly committed by defensive players;
however, they can be committed by offensive players as well. Players who are fouled either receive
the ball to pass inbounds again, or receive one or more free throws if they are fouled in the act of
shooting. The referee is responsible for judging whether contact is illegal, sometimes resulting in
controversy.
If a player is fouled while attempting a shot and the shot is unsuccessful, the player is awarded a
number of free throws equal to the value of the attempted shot. If a player is fouled while attempting
a shot and the shot is successful, typically the player will be awarded one additional free throw for
one point. In combination with a regular shot, this is called a "three-point play" or "four-point play".
Common techniques and practices
Positions - Although the rules do not specify any positions whatsoever, they have evolved as part
of basketball. During the early years of basketball's evolution, two guards, two forwards, and one
center were used
Point guard (often called the "1"): usually the fastest player on the team organizes the team's
offense by controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right player at the right time.
Shooting guard (the "2"): creates a high volume of shots on offense, mainly long-ranged; and
guards the opponent's best perimeter player on defense.
Small forward (the "3": often primarily responsible for scoring points via cuts to the basket and
dribble penetration; on defense seeks rebounds and steals, but sometimes plays more actively.
Power forward (the "4"): plays offensively often with their back to the basket; on defense, plays
under the basket (in a zone defense) or against the opposing power forward (in man-to-man
defense).
Center (the "5"): uses height and size to score (on offense), to protect the basket closely (on
defense), or to rebound.
The above descriptions are flexible. For most teams today, the shooting guard and small forward
have very similar responsibilities and are often called the wings, as do the power forward and
center, who are often called post players.
Strategy - There are two main defensive strategies: zone defense and man-to-man defense. In
a zone defense, each player is assigned to guard a specific area of the court. Zone defenses often
allow the defense to double team the ball, a manoeuver known as a trap. In a man-to-man defense,
each defensive player guards a specific opponent.
Shooting - Shooting is the act of attempting to score points by throwing the ball through the basket,
methods varying with players and situations.

Typically, a player faces the basket with both feet
facing the basket. A player will rest the ball on the
fingertips of the dominant hand (the
shooting arm) slightly above the head, with the other
hand supporting the side of the ball. The ball is usually
shot by jumping (though not always) and extending the
shooting arm. The shooting arm, fully extended with the
wrist fully bent, is held stationary for a moment
following the release of the ball, known as a follow-
through. The ideal trajectory of the shot is somewhat
controversial, but generally a proper arc is
recommended. Players may shoot directly into the basket or may use the backboard to redirect the
ball into the basket.
Rebounding - The objective of rebounding is to successfully gain possession of the basketball after
a missed field goal or free throw, as it rebounds from the hoop or backboard. This plays a major
role in the game, as most possessions end when a team misses a shot. There are two categories of
rebounds: offensive rebounds, in which the ball is recovered by the offensive side and does not
change possession, and defensive rebounds, in which the defending team gains possession of the
loose ball. The majority of rebounds are defensive, as the team on defense tends to be in better
position to recover missed shots.
Passing - A pass is a method of moving the ball between players. Most passes are accompanied
by a step forward to increase power and are followed through with the hands to ensure accuracy.
A staple pass is the chest pass. The ball is passed directly from the passer's chest to the receiver's
chest. A proper chest pass involves an outward snap of the thumbs to add velocity and leaves the
defense little time to react.
Another type of pass is the bounce pass. Here, the passer
bounces the ball crisply about two-thirds of the way from his
own chest to the receiver. The ball strikes the court and
bounces up toward the receiver.
The overhead pass is used to pass the ball over a defender.
The ball is released while over the passer's head.
The crucial aspect of any good pass is it being difficult to
intercept. Good passers can pass the ball with great
accuracy and they know exactly where each of their other
teammates prefers to receive the ball. A special way of
doing this is passing the ball without looking at the receiving teammate. This is called a no-look
pass.

Dribbling - Dribbling is the act of bouncing the ball continuously with one hand and is a
requirement for a player to take steps with the ball. To dribble, a player pushes the ball down
towards the ground with the fingertips rather than patting it; this ensures greater control.
When dribbling past an opponent, the dribbler should dribble with
the hand farthest from the opponent, making it more difficult for the defensive player to get to the
ball. It is therefore important for a player to be able to dribble competently with both hands.
Good dribblers (or "ball handlers") tend to bounce the ball low to the ground, reducing the distance
of travel of the ball from the floor to the hand, making it more difficult for the defender to "steal" the
ball. Good ball handlers frequently dribble behind their backs, between their legs, and switch
directions suddenly, making a less predictable dribbling pattern that is more difficult to defend
against.
Blocking - A block is performed when, after a shot is
attempted, a defender succeeds in altering the shot
by touching the ball. In almost all variants of play, it is
illegal to touch the ball after it is in the downward path
of its arc; this is known as goaltending. To block a
shot, a player has to be able to reach a point higher
than where the shot is released. Thus, height can be
an advantage in blocking. Players who are taller and
playing the power forward or center positions
generally record more blocks than players who are
shorter and playing the guard positions. However,
with good timing and a sufficiently high vertical leap, even shorter players can be effective shot
blockers.
