 Types of Basketball

Streetball (or street basketball) is a variation of

basketball, typically played on outdoor courts and
featuring significantly less formal structure and
enforcement of the game's rules. As such, its
format is more conducive to allowing players to
publicly showcase their own individual skills.
Streetball may also refer to other urban sports
played on asphalt.[1] It is particularly popular and
important in New York City.[2]
Some places and cities in the United States have
organized streetball programs, operated similarly to midnight basketball programs. Many cities also
host their own weekend-long streetball tournaments, with Hoop-It-Up and the Houston Rockets'
Blacktop Battle being two of the most popular. Since the mid-2000s, streetball has seen an increase
in media exposure through television shows such as ESPN's Street Basketball and City Slam, as
well as traveling exhibitions such as the AND1 Mixtape Tour, YPA, and Ball4Real.
It is also popular in other countries like Philippines. Most of their streets have their own basketball
court. Tournaments are also organized especially during summer and holiday season. Divisions are
divided into 4 brackets, Mosquito (ages 7 to 13), Midget (ages 14 to 17), Junior (ages 18 to 25), and
Senior division (ages 26 and up).

Half-court play
Since there are not always enough players to play on a full court (typically 4-on-4 is a minimum for
full court) and full-court games are more physically demanding, the majority of Streetball games are
played on a half court. Special rules have been developed for half-court play:
At the beginning of the game and after each made basket, play begins at the top of the key. A
"checking" system is used to ensure that both teams are ready to begin play. This involves the
offensive player saying "check" while throwing the ball to his defender. The defender then makes
sure his/her team is ready and then throws the ball back to begin play.
If the ball goes out of bounds during play, the ball can either be checked from out of bounds near
where the ball went out or at the top of the key, depending on the rules established before the game.
FIBA recently had to add the ‘check clock’ rule into play in their streetball tournaments due to some
players taking excruciatingly long amounts of time to check the ball, interrupting the flow of play. This
‘check clock’ means that when the defending player has been checked the ball, he has to return it
within 5 seconds.
If the defending team gains possession of the ball, they must take the ball out to beyond the three-
point line before they can score a basket. This does not need to be at the top of the key and no
checking is required. This is analogous to taking the ball to the other side of the court in a full-court
game.
Twenty-one
A popular variation of street basketball is 21, also known as Hustle, American, St. Mary's, a V or
Varsity, Roughhouse, 33, 50 or Crunch, or "New York." 21 is played most often with 3-5 players on a
half court, typically when not enough players have arrived at the playground to "run 3's" (play 3-on-
3). However it is possible to play "21" with only two players, or more than 5.
Further, in some forms, players can freely enter the game after it has begun, starting at zero points
or being "spotted" the same number as the player with the lowest score. "21" is an "every player for
himself" game, with highly variable rules. The rules of "21" are usually agreed by the players at the
beginning of the game.

King of the Court

Another less common streetball variant, often referred to as "King of the Court", or "Boston", results
in essentially a one-on-one (or sometimes two-on-two) tournament between any number of players.
Each match is played following normal one-on-one rules, including violations (such as fouls and out-
of-bounds) to just one point. The winner remains on the court and gets to take the ball out while the
loser returns to the end of the line of players waiting to step on the court. The first player to win a set
number of matches (usually 7 or 11) wins the game can only take one shot per turn.

Leagues in Basketball

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a men's professional basketball

league in North America, composed of 30 teams (29 in the United States and 1
in Canada). It is one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United
States and Canada, and is widely considered to be the premier men's
professional basketball league in the world. The league was founded in New
York City on June 6, 1946, as the Basketball Association of America (BAA). It
changed its name to the National Basketball Association on August 3, 1949,
after merging with the competing National Basketball League (NBL). The NBA's
regular season runs from October to April, with each team playing 82 games.
Its playoffs extend into June. As of 2015, NBA players are the world's best paid
athletes by average annual salary per player.
The NBA is an active member of USA Basketball (USAB), which is recognized by FIBA (also known
as the International Basketball Federation) as the national governing body for basketball in the United
States. The league's several international as well as individual team offices are directed out of its head
offices in Midtown Manhattan, while its NBA Entertainment and NBA TV studios are directed out of
offices located in Secaucus, New Jersey.
 The association was founded in Geneva in 1932, two years after
the sport was officially recognized by the IOC. Before 1934
basketball was under the umbrella of the International Amateur
Handball Federation. Its original name was Fédération
internationale de basket-ball amateur. Eight nations were founding
members: Argentina, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Italy, Latvia,
Portugal, Romania, and Switzerland. During the 1936 Summer
Olympics held in Berlin, the Federation named James Naismith
(1861–1939), the founder of basketball, as its Honorary President.
FIBA is an association of national organizations which governs the sport of basketball worldwide.
Originally known as the Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateur (hence FIBA), in
1989 it dropped the word amateur from its name but retained the acronym; the "BA" now
represents the first two letters of basketball.
FIBA defines the rules of basketball, specifies the equipment and facilities required, organises
international competitions, regulates the transfer of athletes across countries, and controls the
appointment of international referees. A total of 213 national federations are now members,
organized since 1989 into five zones: Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
The FIBA Basketball World Cup is a world tournament for men's national teams held every four
years. Teams compete for the Naismith Trophy, named in honor of basketball's American-
Canadian creator James Naismith. The tournament structure is similar but not identical to that of
the FIFA World Cup in football; these tournaments occurred in the same year from 1970 through
2014, but starting in 2019, the Basketball World Cup will move to the year following the FIFA
World Cup. A parallel event for women's teams, the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, is also
held quadrennially; from 1986 through 2014, it was held in the same year as the men's event but
in a different country. The women's tournament will continue to be held in the same year as the
FIFA World Cup.

The Chinese Basketball Association often abbreviated as CBA, is

the first-tier professional men's basketball league in China. It is
widely regarded as the preeminent professional men's basketball
league in Asia.
The league is commonly known by fans as the CBA, and this
acronym is even used in Chinese on a regular basis. The CBA should
not be confused with the National Basketball League (NBL), which is
a professional minor league. There is also a Women's Chinese
Basketball Association (WCBA).
The CBA began play in the 1995–96 season. The league should not be confused with the Chinese
Basketball Association (organisation), which was founded in June 1956 and represents the
country in matters involving the sport's governing body, FIBA. Basketball in China is currently
regulated by the Chinese Basketball Management Center.
Other Chinese basketball leagues include the National Basketball League (NBL), the Chinese
University Basketball Association (CUBA), and the Chinese High School Basketball League
(CHBL).[2] At one time there was a league called the Chinese New Basketball Alliance (CNBA),[3]
one of whose most prominent teams was the Beijing Sea Lions, but this venture lasted for just
one winter (1996–97).

The creation of the WNBA was officially approved by the

NBA Board of Governors on April 24, 1996, and announced
at a press conference with Rebecca Lobo, Lisa Leslie, and
Sheryl Swoopes in attendance. The new WNBA had to
compete with the recently formed American Basketball
League, another professional women's basketball league
that began play in the fall of 1996 but would cease operation during its 1998–99 season.
The WNBA began with eight teams: the Charlotte Sting, Cleveland Rockers, Houston Comets,
and New York Liberty in the Eastern Conference; and the Los Angeles Sparks, Phoenix Mercury,
Sacramento Monarchs, and Utah Starzz in the Western Conference.
While not the first major women's professional basketball league in the United States (a distinction
held by the defunct WBL), the WNBA is the only league to receive full backing of the NBA. The
WNBA logo, "Logo Woman", paralleled the NBA logo and was selected out of 50 different designs.
The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is a professional basketball league in
the United States. It is currently composed of twelve teams. The league was founded on April 24,
1996, as the women's counterpart to the National Basketball Association (NBA), and league play
started in 1997. The regular season is played from May to September, with the All Star game
being played midway through the season in July and the WNBA Finals at the end of September
until the beginning of October. Starting in 2020, a midseason tournament, the Commissioner's
Cup, will be added, with regular-season Cup games played through early July followed by a final
match in August.

The Philippine Basketball Association was founded when nine

teams left the now-defunct Manila Industrial and Commercial
Athletic Association (MICAA), which was tightly controlled by the
Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP), the FIBA-
recognized national association at the time. With the BAP
controlling the MICAA, the league was de jure amateur, as players
were only paid allowances. This is much like what was done in
other countries to circumvent the amateur requirement and to play in FIBA-sanctioned
tournaments such as the Olympics. MICAA team owners were not pleased with how BAP, then
led by Gonzalo "Lito" Puyat are taking away their players to join the national team without
consulting them first.The teams that bolted away from the MICAA are the Carrier Weathermakers,
Crispa Redmanizers, Mariwasa-Noritake Porcelainmakers, Presto Ice Cream, Royal Tru-Orange,
Seven-Up Uncolas, Tanduay Distillery, Toyota Comets and the U/Tex Weavers. Leopoldo Prieto,
the coach for the Philippines at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, was appointed as the first
commissioner and Emerson Coseteng of Mariwasa-Noritake was chosen as the first president of
the league's Board of Governors.The first game of the league was held at the Araneta Coliseum
on April 9, 1975, featuring Mariwasa-Noritake and Concepcion Carrier.
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is a men's professional basketball league in the
Philippines composed of twelve company-branded franchised teams. Founded in 1975, it is the
first professional basketball league in Asia and is the second oldest continuously professional
basketball league existing in the world after the NBA, established before the "open era" of
basketball in 1990 where FIBA allowed longstanding domestic leagues, which mostly had
predated the PBA, to become professional. The league's regulations are a hybrid of rules from
the NBA and FIBA.

The Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) is a regional

men's semi-professional basketball league in the Philippines.
Manny Pacquiao launched the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball
League on August 29, 2017.According to Pacquiao, the league is not
intended to be a competitor to the Philippine Basketball Association,
the country's top professional basketball league. The MPBL will
feature both a regional commercial and barangay-level league with
teams on the commercial side to have a home locality in addition to
a corporate sponsor.
In the first months, the league hosted teams from Luzon with future
plans to expand to accommodate teams based in Visayas and Mindanao like the defunct
Metropolitan Basketball Association. It is planned that an expanded MPBL will have two
conferences, North and South, where the best teams from both divisions will face in the finals
similar to the format of the National Basketball Association of the United States.

Standard Size of Basketball Court

In basketball, the basketball court is the playing surface,

consisting of a rectangular floor, with baskets at each end.
In professional or organized basketball, especially when
played indoors, it is usually made out of a wood, often
maple, and highly polished and completed with a 10 foot
rim. Outdoor surfaces are generally made from standard
paving materials such as concrete or asphalt.
Basketball Court Dimensions...

What is a basketball court size?

Regulation basketball court dimensions are 94 feet long by 50 feet wide.
Basketball court size varies depending on the league and level of play. For NBA court dimensions,
as well as for WNBA and college, the court measures 94 feet long by 50 feet wide. Note the paint
area – the free throw lane – is 16 feet across. The foul line is 15 feet from the face of the backboard
and 2 inches wide.
International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and Olympic basketball courts call for the court to be
slightly smaller at 91.9 feet by 49.2 feet. In meters, that’s 28 by 15 meters.

Additional information:

The Foul Line

For all size courts the 'foul line' is 15 feet in front of the backboard.

The Key
The key is 12 feet wide, and is the same for all basketball courts. The backboard extends 4 feet
out over the baseline into the key. A half circle of diameter 6 foot extends from the foul line away
from the basket to complete the key.

The 3 Point Line (Arc)

For NBA Basketball Courts the 3 point arc is 22 feet to the center of the rim on the sides with a
straight line extending out 16 feet 9 inches from the baseline. Past those points the line extends
out 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim.

Line Markings
All line markings on the floor are 2 inches wide and can vary in color.
 Standard Size of Basketball Equipments

1. The Ball
Professional leagues such as the NBA have very precise parameters for the official basketball
they use. This includes color, material, size, air pressure, and bounce. The main thing to know
about the basketball is the size. There are different sizes for different ages as well as for boys
and for girls.

• Standard Mens Basketball (Size 7) - This is the size used by the NCAA men, boys high
school, as well as the NBA. It has a circumference between 29.5 and 30 inches and weighs
between 20 and 22 ounces.

• Standard Womens Basketball (Size 6) - This is the basketball used by NCAA women,
girls high school, and the WNBA. It is between 28.5 and 29 inches in circumference and
weighs 18-20 ounces.

• Junior Basketball (Size 5) - The junior size basketball is for boys and girls between the
ages of 8-12. It is between 27.25 to 27.75 inches in circumference and weighs 14-16
ounces. Mini Basketball (Size 3) - For young children ages 5-8, the mini ball is 22 to 22.5
inches in circumference and weighs 10.5 to 11.25 ounces.

2. The Basket
The basket is made up of the backboard, rim, and net. The rim is 18
inches in diameter.
-A regulation backboard is 72 inches wide by 48 inches tall, although
you will find backboards can vary in size.
-The rim should be 10 feet from the ground. Typically, a 10 foot rim is
used from ages 6th grade and older. For younger kids you can lower
the goal so that they can take a proper shot at the goal. For kindergarten
through second grade children you can try a 6-foot goal. Then move it
up to 8 feet for 3rd and 4th grade. Try nine feet for 5th grade. Of course,
this depends on the size, strength, and skill of the player.
-The basketball net hooks onto eight rungs on the bottom of the rim. It hangs down around 15 to
18 inches. The net helps to slow the ball coming through the hoop and also to help see whether
a basket was made or not.
3. The Uniform
The basketball uniform generally consists of a tank top and shorts. You
also need socks and some good basketball type sneakers. Basketball
sneakers are good for all the starting and stopping required in the game.
You can choose high tops, low tops, or three quarter height shoes. If you
play under the basket a lot you may want high tops to help protect you
from getting a twisted ankle.

 You should not wear a watch or a shirt with buttons while playing
basketball. These can scratch or get caught on other players. Also, you
may want to wear a mouthpiece to protect your teeth.

4. Shoes
One needs specialized shoes when playing basketball. It
should be able to give better support to the ankle as
compared to running shoes. The basketball shoes should be
high-tipped shoes and provide extra comfort during a game.
These shoes are specially designed to maintain high traction
on the basketball court.

5. Shot Clock 6. Whistle

The Shot clock in Basketball keeps track of
how long the team on offense can possess
the ball before they have to shoot it. The shot
clock was invented so that teams would play
the game at a quicker pace.
The coach or referee uses a whistle to
indicate the start or end of a game. S/he can
even use the whistle to stop the play in the
middle of a game. Whistle also helps to
indicate fouls, timeout, or out of bound balls
to the players. In order to get the attention of
the players, many times coaches use the
whistle to gather the player.
