BASIC SKILLS IN
BASKETBALL
A. POSITIONING
since the 1980s,
more specific
positions have
evolved, namely:
• Point guard: 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: creates a high volume of shots on offense, mainly long-ranged; and
guards the opponent's best perimeter player on defense.
• Small forward: 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.
• Position Power forward: 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: uses height and size to score (on offense), to protect the basket closely (on
defense), or to rebound.
B. SHOOTING
- the act of
attempting to score
points by throwing
the ball through the
basket, methods
varying with players
and situations.
JUMPSHOT
LAYUP
SLAMDUNK
C. 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.
2 CATEGORIES
IN
REBOUNDING
A. OFFENSIVE
REBOUNDS - in which
the ball is recovered by
the offensive side and
does not change
possession.
B. DEFENSIVE
REBOUND - in
which the
defending team
gains possession of
the loose ball
 D. PASSING
- 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
