we are learning to give an explanation about a game or a sport. The thing that challenged me most is when I had to put the words in a way everyone could understand. This was fun to make too.

How to play basketball


Basketball is a world played sport by the young and the adults. It is quite a competitive sport. I play basketball myself.





You need to have a team, people usually have a team of five or more. You’re practically playing netball but you can dribble down the court and do a couple of stunts like wrapping while you dribble.





My favourite types of defence are things like screening where you have the ball and you can put your fist in the air and someone else will guard the defending person on you while you do a layup. When you do a layup you can run with the ball without dribbling. If you run with the ball without dribbling down the court the referee will blow the whistle and you’ll have to hand the ball over.





There are five positions named; point guard (who guard the key to the shooting area), the shooting guard (they practically just defend the team with the ball from shooting a goal), the centre, the power forward and the small forward.


There are two hoops at either end of the court. When you shoot you have to aim for the white square on the backboard.





You can shoot inside the key or from the 2 or three-pointer. When the opposite teams do a foul on you like shack you when you shoot you get a couple of penalty shots. A shack Is where if the player is looking for someone to pass so you can hit the ball out of their hands. If you touch the person you shacked you will get a personal foul. A personal foul is where if you make contact with the person you are defending you will get points taken off you or your team. When you play basketball you have to be cautious of your surroundings.


If you’re not careful enough the injuries you could get includes things like a broken ankle, hip/thigh injury and sometimes a head injury.





The person who invented Basketball or mini ball as it is still called today was Candian James Naismith. Basketball is an enjoyable game and is played worldwide.
