Basic skills of basketball

• Dribbling
• Passing
• Shooting
 Dribbling
maneuvering a ball by one player while moving in a given direction, avoiding
defenders' attempts to intercept the ball. A successful dribble will bring the ball
past defenders legally and create opportunities to score.
How to Dribble the Basketball?

1. Keep your head up and your eyes on the game. Don’t look at the ball.
2. Extend your arm and snap your wrists to send the ball into the ground.
3. Use your fingers, not your palm, to control the ball.
4.Do not bounce the ball too high while dribbling. That will give you more control over the ball make it harder for defenders to steal the ball.
5. Use your body and your non-dribbling arm to shield the ball from defenders.
Low Dribble
• As its name implies, low dribble just means that you must keep the
ball bouncing low nearest to the floor. This can effectively ensure the
ball from guards. This entails the dribblers to extend his hand so as to
limit the space the opponent can penetrate.
High Dribble

• The high dribble is used when you are trying to move the ball up the court very quickly. Typically,
you will see high dribbles after steals and during fast-break opportunities. To execute a high
dribble, keep you torso erect and push the top of the ball forward, well ahead of your body. The
bounce of the ball should reach anywhere from between your upper thigh to slightly above your
waist.
Behind the back dribble

If you want to change directions while keeping a good view of the entire court, a behind
the back dribble can be effective. If you want to move to your left, begin dribbling with
your right hand.
 Between the Legs Dribbling
between the legs dribble is used to go past a defender who is overplaying you. If
you are going left, begin with rapid low dribbles with your right hand. Take a deep
step forward with your left foot and flick the ball through your legs to your left
hand. Keep your body low as you move forward to your left
Crossover Dribbling

If your defender is making a strong attempt to prevent you from going

right or left, using a crossover dribble can be effective
Passing

• Chest pass
• Bounce pass
• Overhead pass
Chest pass
• The chest pass is named so because the pass originates from the chest.
• It is thrown by gripping the ball on the sides with the thumbs directly behind the ball.
• When the pass is thrown, the fingers are rotated behind the ball and the thumbs are turned down.
• The resulting follow through has the back of the hands facing one another with the thumbs straight down. The ball should have a nice backspin.
• When throwing a chest pass, the players should strive to throw it to the receiver's chest level. Passes that go low to high or high to low are difficult to catch.

BOUNCE PASS
• The bounce pass is thrown with the same motion however it is aimed at the floor.
• It should be thrown far enough out that the ball bounces waist high to the receiver. Some say try to throw it 3/4 of the way to the receiver, and that may be a good
reference point to start, but each player has to experiment how far to throw it so it bounces to the receiver properly.
• Putting a proper and consistent backspin on the pass will make the distance easier to judge.
BOUNCE PASS
OVERHEAD PASS

• The overhead pass is often used as an outlet pass. Bring the ball directly above your forehead
with both hands on the side of the ball and follow through.
• Aim for the teammate's chin. Some coaches advise not bring the ball behind your head,
because it can get stolen and it takes a split-second longer to throw the pass.
Shooting

• Proper stance
• Holding of the ball
• Focus in target
• Take the shot
 Proper stance

• Placing your feet in the right position can help you maintain balance and ensure
you're able to handle the ball with ease. To shoot the basketball into the basket, keep
your legs apart and extended
 Holding of the ball

• Along with knowing how to stand, you need to maintain control of the ball. Grab hold of the ball
using your fingertips of your shooting hand. Ensure that the ball and your eyes form a straight
line leading to the hoop.
 Focus on the target

• Keep your eyes on the target by narrowing your focus on where you want the ball to go. For
example, consider directing your attention to the backboard or the back rim of the net a little
before shooting. This can help you avoid outside distractions that may hinder your ability to
make the shot.
Take the shot

• With the previous steps in mind, your hands need to be on the ball as your wrists flick forward to
drive it toward the net. Be sure to arch your arms to propel the ball upward and into the net. Your
arm needs to extend completely and your elbow needs to lock.
Understand the Simple Shooting Method: BEEF

• Balance: Maintain a solid, balanced base that will help set the foundation for a perfect jump shot. Weight should be equally distributed between both legs with a slight bend
in your knees.
• Eyes on the target: Most pros say that the ball will go wherever your eyes are looking, so make sure you're looking at the basket. Where you focus exactly is up to you, but
focusing on the front of the rim or the back is a good place to start
Understand the Simple Shooting Method: BEEF

• Elbows aligned: Your elbow should be at a 90-degree angle with your torso as you prepare to shoot. The elbow should be underneath the basketball and your shooting
hand fingertips should be on the ball with your off hand making light contact on the side of the basketball.
• Follow-through: The crucial last step of the BEEF Method is the flicking of the wrist to follow through on the shot. Upon release, the ball should roll off the tips of your
pointer and middle finger. If you've done it correctly your wrist will be flexed with your fingers pointed down at the ground
