 HISTORY OF GAMES AND SPORTS

Games and sports have been around for thousands of years. The Egyptians' senet
is the earliest example of a board game and dates back to 3000 B.C. The first traces of
competitive sports also go back to the Egyptians around 2000 B.C. In an Egyptian tomb at
Beni Hasan, archaeologists found numerous wrestling pictures depicting many holds and
moves that are still used today, according to HistoryWorld.net.

Sport has been recorded for centuries. In fact, the sport of wrestling is depicted on
ancient Egyptian urns known to be older than 4000 years. Formal sport was a natural
follow-up to the games children played in many cultures and in different countries.
The ancient Greeks are considered to be the originators of competitive sport. Their
intercity competitions evolved into the original Olympic Games, which carried over to the
Roman gladiator sports. Throughout medieval times, productive work was considered of
utmost importance, and games and sport were considered to be trivial, unless they were
used in preparation for war and combat. Eventually, with the reincarnation of the Olympic
Games in 1896 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France, a venue was made available for
international competition at the amateur level. By the 1970s, professional sport had begun
to permeate many sports, and the concept of amateur was removed from the Olympics in
the 1980s.

The modern Olympic Games have the greatest economic impact of any world-wide
event and have the greatest media coverage of any event up to and including the two
weeks of competition. Unfortunately, drug use and abuse have taken away some of the
glitter from sport and even from the Olympics, but modern technology and people’s innate
love of sport are working towards overcoming this problem.

 TYPES OF SPORTS
Sports is categories into three (3): individual, dual and team sports. Below are
some examples as well as basic skills used in each type of sports.

INDIVIDUAL/DUAL SPORTS
Individual sports are those played by one person against another or against a
number of solo players .A dual sport (not to be confused with team sports) is played by
partners (two people) against another set of partners or a number of sets of partners.
Examples of sports that can be played as individual &/or dual include, bowling, tennis,
badminton, golf, figure skating, and so on. 

Table Tennis
is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the ping-
pong ball, back and forth across a table using small rackets. The game takes place on a
hard table divided by a net. A point is scored when a player fails to return the ball within the
rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and
limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter
a great advantage.

it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles"
(with one player per side) and "doubles" (with two players per side).
Points are scored by striking the
shuttlecock with the racquet and landing it
within the opposing side's half of the court.

TEAM SPORTS

A team sport includes any sport where individuals are organized into

opposing teams which compete to win. Team members act together towards a shared
objective. This can be done in a number of ways such as outscoring the opposing team.
Team members set goals, make decisions, communicate, manage conflict, and solve
problems in a supportive, trusting atmosphere in order to accomplish their objectives.
Examples are basketball, volleyball, rugby, handball, lacrosse, cricket, baseball, and the
various forms of association football and hockey.

Volleyball

is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each
team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized
rules.

1. Stance (ready position of the body and foot) 2. Service (Underhand, sidearm,
and overhand serve) 3. Tossing (underhand and overhand or finger toss)
4. Passing/receiving (Forearm pass, Overhand, and dig pass) 5. Attacking
6. Blocking 7. Defensive skills (Rolling/Sliding)

Basketball
is a team sport in which two teams, most commonly of five players each, opposing
one another on a rectangular court, compete with the primary objective

IMPORTANCE OF SPORTS AND GAMES

 Sports give us a good exercise which makes us physically strong and

increases our stamina and strength. Regular Sports activities make us active
and lead to good Health.
 Playing Games makes us aware of our environment i.e. Makes us mentally
awake and increases our concentration power.
 Various Games needs good strategies for better performance and teamwork,
so it increases our thinking ability and teaches us the power of teamwork and
to find a way out of difficult situations.
 Games and sports also need a lot of energy i.e. it makes us energetic.
 Games and Sports need a lot of cooperation between the players. Hence it
increases cooperation with each other.
 And at last, all of the Games have their own rules and regulations which if not
followed, lead to negative points. Hence, we can say that it teaches us the
Importance of following Rules in life.

Given below are the reasons why sports and games are essential in a student’s life:

 Improves physical and mental health - One of the main benefits of sports and
games is to boost the physical and mental health of a student. Sports is played
between teams in a healthy competitive environment which ensures that the
student remains active and fit. Outdoor sports like volleyball, basketball, tennis,
swimming, running, etc., keeps the body and mind active and engaged. Indoor
games like chess, badminton, and table tennis enhance the concentration level of
the student. It also strengthens the immunity system of the body and energizes
them.

 Empower students with life skills - While sports not only help in developing
physical and mental health, it also develops the life skills of a student’s personality.
It enhances their capabilities and helps them to have a better understanding of
themselves. Sports also help in developing social skills and getting along with
people. They learn to interact not only with children of their age but also with adults
11
 like their coaches and seniors. Additionally, children acquire decision-making skills
through various team activities.

 Learn time management and discipline - Constructive use of time and discipline is
a major characteristic of any sportsperson. If a student plays a sport, he/she needs
to show the commitment of time to be in a particular place at a particular time
every day as a part of their routine. He/she must be patient, disciplined which will
enable the student to cope with criticism and setbacks. Each sport has a set of
rules and regulations to be followed which helps the students to stay fit and
disciplined.

 Improved leadership and team building qualities - Sports is all about teamwork.
Romblon State University encourages team sports such as volleyball, football,
basketball etc. which gives an individual a sense of identity and belonging to a
group. Such sports encourage student to showcase their talent and communicate
with their team members. It also helps to identify and hone their leadership skills
which add values to their personality.

 Winning and losing is all part of the game - Sports is not always about winning. It
is about fair play and believing in equality and justice. Losing is a part and parcel of
any game and accepting defeat in a positive competitive spirit distinguishes a true
sportsperson which propels him/her to strive harder the next time to achieve what
he/she missed out on the previous game.

 Boost self-confidence - Scoring a goal, hitting a six or winning a race not only
makes a student happy but also it boosts their confidence. Performing in front of a
crowd which is constantly noticing your each and every move can be quite
unnerving. But a sportsperson is one with focus, patience, the right amount of
confidence having a never-say-die attitude.

TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL SKILLS IN PLAYING SPORTS

Technical Skills -these are basic or fundamental skills needed to play the game.
Examples of Technical Skills:
 In basketball (dribbling, passing, and shooting)
 In volleyball (ball reception, attacking/spiking, and setting)
Tactical Skills -these are the decision-making skills or strategies used in different
situations during the game.
12
  A basic example is the use of quick pass and movement against a taller but slower
opponent in basketball.
 The use of tactical decision during a game is called game sense.
Five Steps in Teaching Tactical skills
1. Distinguishing the important decision
2. Establishing essential knowledge for athletes
3. Recognizing the signals in situations
4. Giving appropriate tactical options
5. Planning a Practice Game

PLANNING A PRACTICE GAME

Preparation/Planning
• Date, time, and duration of training/practice
• Objectives/Goals

 1. What advantages would you reap from playing in sports?
Playing sports helps you stay in shape, teaches you how to organize your time,
boosts friendships, and builds relationships with your peers and adults. Through
athletics, you gain skills that can best be acquired on a court, track, or field.
Playing sports is a generally a fantastic way to improve your fitness and health.
Many of us may not feel at home pounding away on a treadmill or working up a
sweat in the gym, but we’ll happily chase a ball around endlessly while playing a
game of some sort. For most people, taking part in sport will improve your
general health and wellbeing. There are plenty of reasons why you should
become involved in sport with reduced body fat, bone strengthening, improved
stamina and flexibility being some of the reasons why you should take up a
sport.

2. Do you think that playing sports will promote exercise, safety, and well-being
among teammates, family and community? How?
Yes, because playing sports enables you to create friendships you otherwise might
not have formed. Sports bring teens together from different schools, backgrounds, and
communities. Many times, the friendships you create on the field remain intact even
when you are not playing sports.The fans on the sidelines are one of the most
important parts of the game. The constant support of your parents helps you to feel
good about yourself and strengthens your connection to them. As a teen, it is not
always easy to find time to spend time with your parents. Sports give you and your
parents time to appreciate one another.Participating in sports helps build leadership
skills. Sports teams give you an opportunity to surround yourself with competitive
people and role models, and learn from them both. You can demonstrate your own
leadership through team captainships and individual actions to improve your team's
success.

16
 3. Give your opinion or idea about this quote: “What matter most in sports is not
winning, it is how you play the game.”

I agree with this quote because in sports it is not only about winning but it also depends in
how show your best to the audience and how you respect your opponent. Many of the
people sports is all about winning and why? simple for the reason they want to have a trophy
or bacame popular but they don't respect their opponents sometimes they use cheat to win
a game sometimes they find a way to hurt their opponent to lose their confidence in the
game.

4. What other physical, emotional, mental and social benefits can you derive from playing
sports?
Although it may seem obvious, regular participation in sports can affect the body
physically, providing many positive benefits. For example, some of the physical benefits of
playing basketball include improved cardiovascular health, strength, coordination, balance,
and endurance. Many of the physical benefits of sports are related to the increase in heart
rate that occurs during physical activity. Physical activity requires the heart to beat faster
and harder to provide the muscles in the body with a continuous supply of oxygen. If
physical activity is performed regularly, the heart becomes stronger and more efficient,
which lowers blood pressure and lowers a person's resting heart rate.
The physical benefits of participating in a sport are probably the most obvious. Athletic
training helps strengthen bodies, develops coordination, and promotes physical fitness.
Through sports, youths learn physical fitness in a fun way that encourages healthy living
habits. Once young athletes develop these habits, they are more likely to continue them
throughout their lives. This is important since physical fitness helps combat major health
issues such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. In addition to these physical benefits,
many social benefits result from participation in sports. Participation in sports provides
opportunities to learn teamwork. Playing by the rules and overcoming adversity helps
youths learn qualities of good sportsmanship and personal responsibility. Time
management and good organizational skills must be developed to achieve both athletic
and academic success. These benefits transfer to everyday situations, providing social
skills that allow you to succeed in the real world.

 INTRODUCTION

What is basketball?

Basketball is a team sport, wherein the objective is to shoot a ball through a basket
horizontally positioned to score points while following a set of rules. Usually, two teams of
five players play on a marked rectangular court with a basket at each width end. Basketball
is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports. A regulation basketball hoop
consists of a rim 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high mounted to a backboard. A team
can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. A field
goal scores two points for the shooting team if a player is touching or closer to the basket
than the three-point line, and three points (known commonly as a 3-pointer or three) if the
player is behind the three-point line. The team with the most points at the end of the game
wins, but additional time (overtime) may be issued when the game ends with a draw. The
ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or
throwing (passing) it to a team mate. It is a violation to move without dribbling the ball
(travelling), to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling (double
dribble).

Various violations are generally called "fouls". Disruptive physical contact (a

personal foul) is penalized, and a free throw is usually awarded to an offensive player if he
is fouled while shooting the ball. A technical foul may also be issued when certain
infractions occur, most commonly for unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of a player or
coach. A technical foul gives the opposing team a free throw, and the opposing team is
also retained possession of the ball. Basketball has evolved many commonly used
techniques of shooting, passing, dribbling, and rebounding, as well as specialized player
positions and offensive and defensive structures (player positioning) and techniques.
Typically, the tallest members of a team will play "center", "power forward" or "small
forward" positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills
and speed play "point guard" or "shooting guard". While competitive basketball is carefully
regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play. Competitive
basketball is primarily an indoor sport played on a carefully marked and maintained
basketball court, but less regulated variations are often played outdoors in both inner city
and remote areas.
19
 HISTORY

Basketball was invented in December 1891 by the Canadian clergyman, educator,

and physician Dr. James Naismith. Naismith introduced the game when he was an
instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association Training School (now Springfield
College) in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the request of his superior, Dr. Luther H. Gulick,
he organized a vigorous recreation suitable for indoor winter play. The game involved
elements of American football, soccer, and hockey, and the first ball used was a soccer
ball. Teams had nine players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets affixed to the
walls. By 1897-1898, teams of five became standard. The game rapidly spread nationwide
and to Canada and other parts of the world, played by both women and men; it also
became a popular informal outdoor game. U.S. servicemen in World War II (1939-1945)
popularized the sport in many other countries.
A number of U.S. colleges adopted the game between about 1893 and 1895. In
1934 the first college games were staged in New York City's Madison Square Garden, and
college basketball began to attract heightened interest. By the 1950s basketball had
become a major college sport, thus paving the way for a growth of interest in professional
basketball.
The first pro league, the National Basketball League, was formed in 1898 to protect
players from exploitation and to promote a less rough game. This league only lasted five
years before disbanding; its demise spawned a number of loosely organized leagues
throughout the Northeastern United States. One of the first and greatest pro teams was
the Original Celtics, organized about 1915 in New York City. They played as many as 150
games a season and dominated basketball until 1936. The Harlem Globetrotters, founded
in 1927, a notable exhibition team, specializes in amusing court antics and expert ball
handling.
In 1949 two subsequent professional leagues, the National Basketball League
(formed in 1937) and the Basketball Association of America (1946) merged to create the
National Basketball Association (NBA). The Boston Celtics, led by their center Bill Russell,
dominated the NBA from the late 1950s through the 1960s. By the 1960s, pro teams from
coast to coast played before crowds of many millions annually. Wilt Chamberlain, a center
for the Los Angeles Lakers, was another leading player during the era, and his battles with

20
Russell were eagerly anticipated. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, also a center, came to
prominence during the 1970s. Jabbar perfected his famed "sky hook" shot while playing
for the Los Angeles Lakers and dominated the opposition.

The NBA suffered a drop in popularity during the late 1970s, but was resuscitated,
principally through the growing popularity of its most prominent players. Larry Bird of the
Boston Celtics, and Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers are credited with injecting
excitement into the league in the 1980s through their superior skills and decade-long
rivalry. During the late 1980s Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls rose to stardom and
helped the Bulls dominate the NBA during the early 1990s. A new generation of basketball
stars, including Shaquille O'Neal of the Orlando Magic and Larry Johnson of the Charlotte
Hornets, have sustained the NBA's growth in popularity.

In 1959 a Basketball Hall of Fame was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts. Its

rosters include the names of great players, coaches, referees, and people who have
contributed significantly to the development of the game.

“A good basketball player develops his or her skills through practice.”

Learning Outcomes

 Executes all the basic playing skills with controlled and refined
movement.

Learning Objectives:
 Discuss the basics skills in basketball

Basketball is an extremely physical game involving technique,

expertise, strength, endurance, and intellectual ability. Through a variety of fun
games and good health practices, there are many opportunities to teach the
game of basketball and develop student skills25 in the game.
 BASIC SKILLS IN BASKETBALL

1. SHOOTING
The 1st basic skill to be learned is shooting. Every basketball player loves to shoot the ball!
The most practiced skill in the game is shooting. Players spend a good deal of their
practice time on shooting drills to improve their skill level. After all, if you can't shoot - you
can't score! So, here’s how you can improve your shooting skills in basketball:
 Remember BEEF (Balance, Elbow, Elbow, Follow
Through) when shooting the ball.
 Be relaxed and concentrate on the basket.
 Know when you have a good shot and then take it.
 Be in proper balance when shooting the ball.
 Follow through on every shot you take.
 Jump naturally.
 “Up, hang, shoot!” is an easy way to remember this.
 Make sure you have an arc on every shot you take.
 Be relaxed when shooting free throws.
 Practice all of your shots.

TYPES OF SHOTS

Push Shot, Two Hands

a. Stand with feet together or assume a stride position with one foot leading.
b. With knees slightly bent and the hands positioned more to the back, flick the wrist
slightly to propel the ball.
c. Make a good follow through with your wrist and fingers.

26
Push Shot, One Hand
a. Stand in stride position, one foot ahead of the other with knees slightly bent.
b. Hold the balls with both hands at shoulder eye level.
c. Execute vertical jump as you flick your wrist to propel the ball.
d. Make a good follow through

Lay-Up
a. Approach the goal as you dribble the ball around a 45 degree angle.
b. Prior to shooting, shift weight to the foot opposite the shooting hand then raise the
ball as far as possible with two hands.
c. Release the non-shooting hand as shooting arm carries the ball.
d. Release the ball off the fingertips.
e. The ball should bounce against the backboard before dropping into the hoop.

Free Throw
a. Stand back straight with knees slightly bent and weight equally distributed to both
feet. Some players prefer standing with one foot forward.
b. Hold the ball with fingertips of both hands, the shooting hand placed under the ball.
c. Simultaneously swing arms forward and backward as you straighten the knees.

27
 d. Release the ball off
the tips of the
finger.

2. DRIBBLING
Dribbling in basketball is a skill that you
should master. It allows you to move around the
court while you’re in possession of the ball. It is a
legal method that allows you to advance with the
ball and make a score as opposed to that of
passing it to a teammate to shoot it for the
basket. This move involves bouncing the ball off
the floor with your hands as you cover the floor.
This is how it’s done:

 Dribble the ball with hand and use only the tips of your finger in dribbling it.
 Employ the wrist and the forearm to push the ball while covering the court.
 Don’t involve the whole hand to avoid losing control of the ball.
 Don’t keep your fingers in touch with each other while dribbling.
 Spread your fingers to allow full control of the ball as it dribbles.
 Dribble the ball in one side of your body and not right in front.
 While dribbling in one hand, use the other hand to drive your defender away from
the ball.

BASIC TYPES OF DRIBBLE

Low Dribble
A low dribble is done by keeping the ball
bouncing low, nearest to the floor.
a. Dribble the ball as low as possible.
28
 b. Your back should be bent forward at the hip while your arms and elbow
are used to shield the ball.

High Bounce Dribble

A high bounce dribble is done to move the ball to your side of the court quickly, or
when executing a fast-break.
a. Keep upper body erect while pushing the top of the ball forward, going ahead of
your body.
b. The bounce of the ball should reach between your upper thigh and above your
waist.

Cross Over
This is dribbles that use a quick change of direction using both hands alternately.
The aim if a crossover move is to confuse your defender on which direction you are going.
a. Bounce the ball from one hand towards the other hand.
b. Move your body from side to side.
c. Dribble away to the opposite of where
your defender is going.

POINTS TO REMEMBER
Position of Hands
Forearm and Wrist Action
*fingers should be spread out
*wrist should be firm but movable
*pushing action
*ball goes back to the pad of the fingers: yo-yo action

29
 Eyes *keep eyes away from the ball. Train yourself not to look at the
ball while dribbling.
Height of Dribble *below the waist
*higher dribble for higher speed
*lower dribble for lower speed
Body *protect the ball with your arm (arm bar)

Activity: Shadow Dribbling

a. Get a partner and face each other.
b. Dribble the ball with your right hand while your partner “mirrors” what you are doing
without the ball.
c. Do step b. again with your left.
d. Switch roles with your partner.
e. Do all the steps again but this time with a ball.

Running While Dribbling

Aside from dribbling the ball in place, one should learn how to execute dribbling
while running from one place to another. To do this, start by walking while dribbling the
ball. As you get used to the movements, move up your pace until you can run with the ball.
Always practice to improve your skills.

3. PASSING
Basketball is a team game. By definition, that means all players are involved with
the process of playing the game and should function as one. One of the primary skills
created to accomplish this is passing. It is a skill that maximizes the involvement of all
players in setting up a play to earn successful shots and earn points for the whole team.
To learn more about passing, read and practice as instructed below:
 Basically, there are two types of pass: air pass and bounce pass. Air passes travels
between players without hitting the floor. Bounce pass is thrown to the floor so that it
bounces to the intended receiver.
 Air passes include chest pass-a pass that originates from the chest to the
receiver’s chest level; and overhead pass-a pass that originates from the forehead.
With this pass, aim for your teammate's chin. Don’t bring the ball behind your head,
because it can get stolen and it takes a split-second longer to throw the pass.
 In executing bounce passes, calculate about 3/3 distance from the receiver as the
hitting point so that the ball bounces right to your receiver. But for better accuracy,
30
 you have to experiment by yourself because the bounce is directly proportional with
how strong the ball hits the floor.
 A good pass is a pass a teammate can catch.
 When passing, step toward your receiver.
 When catching, step toward the pass.
 Like shooting, the ball should have a backspin to it. This is accomplished by
following through on every pass.

TYPES OF PASSES

Overhead Pass
a. Stand in stride position-legs open to shoulder width apart.
b. Hold the ball just above the head.
c. Simultaneously take a short step forward, hold the ball to extended arms.
d. Make a follow through in the direction of the pass.

Underhand Pass
a. Stand in stride position, legs shoulder width apart and with knees slightly bent
with either side of the body toward to the receiver.
b. Hold the ball with hands on one side, while the opposite foot move point
towards the receiver.
c. Push the ball toward the receiver of the ball by a step with the leading foot.

31
Chest Pass
a. Stand in stride position with one foot ahead of the other. Knees should be
placed a bit forward.
b. Hold the ball with both hands at chest level. Make sure the fingers are spread
on each side of the ball.
c. With a quick arm extension and snap by the wrists, push the ball forward. One
foot should move towards the receiver.

Baseball Pass
a. Stand with one foot more advanced than the other.
b. Hold the ball with the throwing hand.
c. Bring throwing arm upward backward. With a forceful action, throw the ball to
the desired direction.
d. Shift the weight of the body from the back foot to the front foot.

32
Bounce Pass
a. Stand in stride position, legs shoulder with apart.
b. Hold the ball in front, waist height.
c. With a quick movement, push the ball with both hands downward towards the
floor.
d. Bounce the ball to the direction of the receiver.

Catching the Basketball

Receiving the ball is an important as passing it. The catcher should move in front or
towards the passed ball. There are two basic types of catches”
 Overhead Catch- a ball catches above waist level.
 Underhand Catch- a ball catches below waist level.
Important Points in Catching the Basketball
 Always keep your eyes on the ball.
 Move to the direction of the ball to catch it properly.
 Spread your fingers well, and then slightly “cup” palms to ready for catch.
 Relax arms to catch the ball.

4. REBOUNDING
33
 Rebounding is one of the major aspects of the game. It is your ability to jump with
power to gain possession of the ball as it bounces to the rim after a failed shot before it
touches the floor. Just how is it rebounding important? Whenever you grab a rebound, your
team gains a chance to shoot again while the other team actually loses it. The difference
is double. So, how to make a good rebound, here’s how...
 Practice good footwork and vertical leap or jumps.
 Anticipate where the ball will land.
 The longer the shot or the harder the rim, the
farther the bounces.
 When a shooter is a soft shooter, this means he
always takes time to put an arc on his shots, the ball
bounces near the ring.
 When a shooter is a hard shooter, this means
there’s a little or no arc on his shots, and then the
ball bounces far from the ring.
 Leg power and strong body are needed in
rebounding that’s why it is essential that strength
and power exercises should be considered to
conditioning your body.

5. RUNNING
Running is one of the basic skills that a basketball player should possess.
Because in this sport, speed defines the best. Whether you’re on the offensive or
defensive side of the game, passing, receiving, shooting or rebounding a ball, you
always have to run in any way possible. Here are some tips for you to improve your
running skills:
 Always have a good pair of playing shoes.
 Always do a combination of dynamic stretching and warm-up activities across the
court before goingout to play a game.

Dynamic Stretching

Toe Walk Shuffle Heel Walk Back Pedal

Inch Walk Jogging High Knees
Carioca Butt Kicks Jumping jacks

FITNESS LOG

I learned that playing basketball is not easy and even more so by

becoming a pro player. It needs a lot of training to get the right
dribbling skills and to aim and shoot properly in shooting at the
basket. I thought you can just pass the ball any way you want but
there's a lot of proper ways to pass a ball as I've learned, like
underhand pass, chest pass, baseball pass, overhead pass and
bounce pass. There's even different kinds of shooting and dribbling
skills. It made it clear that playing basketball may seem easy
watching it but it's hard if you're actually doing it. I can apply what
I've learned to further my relationship with my family and friendships
by playing basketball.

39
 THE OFFICIATING STAFF

The makeup of the officiating corps is strictly a matter of choice. The minimum
number is five: a referee, an umpire, a scorer, a timer and a shot-clock operator. In some
cases, eight officials are used in a line-up comprising a referee, two umpires, a shot-clock
operator, two scorers and two timers.

REFEREE IS OFFICIAL IN CHARGE

The referee is the official that controls the game. He is the one who tosses the ball
up for the center jump at the start of the game and each overtime period. His duties range
from inspecting and approving all equipment before the game's starting time to approving
the final score. In between, the referee is responsible for the notification of each team
three minutes before each half is to begin and deciding matters of disagreement among
the officials. The referee has the power to make decisions on any point not specifically
covered in the rules and even to forfeit the game if necessary.

OFFICIALS CONDUCT GAME

During actual play, there is no practical difference between the referee and
umpire(s). They are equally responsible for the conduct of the game; and, because of the
speed of play, their duties are dictated essentially by their respective positions on the court
from moment to moment. For this reason, the rules specify that no official has the
authority to question decisions made by another official. The officials' control, which
begins 30 minutes before starting time for men and 15 minutes for women and concludes
with the referee's approval of the final score, includes the power to eject from the court
any player, coach or team follower who is guilty of flagrant unsporting conduct. When the
referee leaves the confines of the playing area at the end of the game, the score is final
and may not be changed. As we pointed out earlier, jump balls occur only at the start of
the game and all overtimes; but officials still must concentrate upon throwing the ball up
straight. At other times, play resumes with a throw-in. The team that fails to get the ball
after the first center jump will begin the alternating process.

OFFICIALS' SIGNALS

40
 When a foul occurs, the official is required by the rules to (a) signal the timer to
stop the clock, (b) designate the offender to the scorer and use his or her fingers to
indicate the number of free throws. When a team is entitled to a throw-in, an official must
(a) signal what caused the ball to become dead, (b) indicate the throw-in spot (except after
a goal) and (c) designate the team entitled to the throw-in.

DUTIES OF SCORERS AND TIMERS

Scorers must (a) record, in numerical order, names and numbers of all players, (b)
record field goals made and free throws made and missed, (c) keep a running summary of
points scored, (d) record fouls called on each player and notify officials when a player-
disqualification or bonus-free-throw situation arises, (e) record timeouts and report when a
team' s allotted number has been used, and (f) record when a squad member has been
ejected for fighting. It is the game-clock and shot-clock operators' responsibility to keep
everyone abreast of key factors while carrying out the timing regulations.

BASKETBALL REFEREE HAND SIGNALS

There are “Fouls” and there are “Violations”

Fouls are caused by physical contact (holding, pushing), or actions (acting out like you are
going to hit another player but you don’t) or even extreme abusive yelling or cussing
(technical foul).

Violations are actions by players that break a basketball rule – such as traveling, stepping
on the line, and back court.

Foul (Closed Fist) Violation (Open Fist)

41
Types of Personal Fouls:

Holding Foul – A “Holding Foul” occurs when a defender holds, grabs, or pulls an offensive
player (it doesn’t matter if the offensive player has possession of the ball or not).

Pushing Foul – A “Pushing Foul” occurs when a defender pushes an offensive player or
bumps into the body of an offensive player.

Illegal Use of Hands Foul – This is a foul called when a defender slaps, hacks, or smacks
an offensive player with the ball.

42
Blocking Foul – A “Blocking Foul” occurs when a defender uses their body and makes
contact with an offensive player with the ball (could be in the form of running into the
player, or setting an illegal screen, etc).

Charging Foul (Charge) / Player Control Foul – A “Charging Foul” occurs when an
offensive player runs into (or over) a defensive player who already has position (the
defender must first establish position). Other types of player control fouls are when a
dribbler uses an elbow and hits a defender, or excessive physical contact by an offensive
post player trying to gain position.

43
Personal Foul Penalties:

Shooting Foul (2 Point Shot) – If a player gets “fouled” while in the act of shooting , the
player gets to shoot free throw(s). If the shot is made – the player gets to shoot 1 free
throw, you will hear this called “And 1.” If the shot is not made and a foul is called – the
player gets to shoot 2 free throws.

Shooting Foul (3 Point Shot) – If a player gets “fouled” while in the act of shooting a 3-
point shot , the player gets to shoot free throw(s). If the shot is made – the player gets to
shoot 1 free throw (which could turn out to be a 4-point play). If the shot is not made and a
foul is called – the player shoots 3 free throws.

44
 Non-Shooting Fouls / Team Fouls:

Non-Shooting Fouls: If an offensive player is fouled while not in the act of shooting the ball,
the ball stays in possession with the team that the foul was committed on (they will get to
inbound the ball out of bounds at the nearest sideline or baseline). When inbounding the
ball the team with possession will have 5 seconds to pass the ball in to another teammate
on the court. All fouls – including shooting fouls and non-shooting fouls add up and are
counted as team fouls. Offensive fouls (player control fouls) do not count as a team foul.

Team Fouls: Team fouls are the combined number of fouls that all the players on a team
commit during one half of play. The fouls are totaled up and logged in by the scorekeeper
in the official score book. When a team reaches 7 fouls, their opponent will get to shoot
free throws – this is called a “one and one.” The player shooting the free throws gets to
shoot 1 free throw, if they make it, they get to shoot another (one and one), if they miss the
first free throw, they don’t get to shoot the second free throw. When a team reaches 7+
team fouls, their opponent is said to be in the “bonus” (and will start shooting free throws
after getting fouled).

When a team reaches 10 (or more) fouls, their opponent will automatically get to shoot 2
free throws. At half time the team fouls from the first half of the game are “zeroed” out,
and team fouls are totaled all over again during the second half of the game.
Important Note: Offensive fouls do not count towards team fouls (so when an offensive
player happens to commit an offensive foul, the defense will not get to shoot free throws).

Types of Violations:

45
Traveling (also called Walking or Walk) – If a ball handler takes too many steps while
dribbling the referee can call a violation (considered a turnover by the player and the
possession of the ball goes to the other team). Also if a player has stopped dribbling and
moves their pivot foot – this is also considered a traveling (or walking) violation.

Violation / Traveling, Walking

Double Dribble (Illegal Dribble) – A dribbling violation occurs when a player stops dribbling
and then attempts to dribble again or if a player attempts to dribble the ball with 2 hands.

Violation / Double Dribble

Backcourt (Backcourt violation) – Once the Offensive team has passed the half court line,
they cannot: a) dribble and/or b) pass back over the half court line. If this occurs, a
“Backcourt” violation will be called by the referee and possession of the ball will go to the
other team.

46
 Backcourt Violation Signal

Inbound Pass Violation (5-Second Violation) – There are time restrictions that a player
has when the ref hands them the ball to pass the ball into play. The player passing in the
ball has five seconds to pass the ball in to another player. If the player fails to pass the ball
in within 5 seconds, the ref will blow the whistle (5-second violation), and the ball is
awarded to the other team.

5-Second Violation Signal

10 Second Violation – When your opponent makes a basket, your team has 10 seconds to
get the ball in play and past the half court line – if your team fails to do this within 10
seconds, the ball is awarded to the other team.

47
Three/ Five Second Violation – An offensive player cannot remain in the “paint” area for
more than 3 or 5 seconds (depending on the division), if the Ref happens to spot an
offensive player in the paint area for more than 3 seconds, the whistle will blow, and the
other team will get possession of the ball.

Closely Guarded Violation (does not apply to 1st/2nd grades) – An offensive player
cannot have possession of the ball for more than five seconds while being closely guarded
by a defender. For example if an offensive player is dribbling the ball and is guarded
closely by a defender for 5 seconds, the ref will blow the whistle, and the ball will be
awarded to the other team.

Jump Ball (also called Tie Up or Held Ball) – When an offensive player and a defensive

48
player gain possession of the ball at the same time – the referee will blow the whistle.
The referee will then look at the possession arrow (at the scorer’s table) and award
possession to the team that the direction is pointing (possession is on a rotating basis).

Out of Bounds Designation – When the ball goes out of bounds (for any reason), or a
player with possession of the ball steps out of bounds – the referee will designate the
spot where the ball went out of bounds.

A Few Misunderstood Rules:

a) Players can “recover” a fumbled ball, traveling does not occur during the time it takes
the player to recover. A player must have control of the ball in order to travel, and a
“fumbled” ball is not considered having control of the ball.

b) Players cannot travel while dribbling the basketball, traveling is considered taking one

49
or more steps without dribbling.

c) If a player attempts to set a screen and is moving, it is not considered a foul unless
contact is made.

d) The ball is not “out of bounds” if it rolls along the top edge of the backboard without
touching the supports.

Some Myths Regarding Common Basketball Rules:

1. “Reaching In” Foul – There is no foul called “reaching in” found in the rulebook. The
act of simply “reaching in” is allowed unless contact is made. The referee can call a
pushing or holding foul, but there is no “reaching in” violation.

2. A player dribbles the ball above their head – Dribbling the Ball above players head line
is not a violation as long as dribblers hand stays on top of the ball.

3. “Over the Back” – Players are allowed to reach over the back of another player as long
as no contact is made. A taller player simply reaching over the back of another player for
the rebound (without making contact) has not committed a foul. Again, the referee can
call pushing, holding, or illegal contact fouls, but there is no violation called “Over the
Back” in the rule book.
