4. NETBALL
Netball is a ball sport and a limited-contact team
sport in which two teams of seven players trying to
score points just like that in basketball, and thus
netball is a form of basketball only. Netball games
last for 60 minutes (1 hour). Netball is most popular
in Commonwealth nations. In 1995, netball became
an International Olympic Committee recognised
sport

5. WATER BASKETBALL
Water basketball is a water sport, which combines the
rules of basketball and water polo, played in
a swimming pool. Like basketball, teams consist of
five players each who must shoot at the goal/basket
with a ball within a definite time after gaining
possession of the ball. In 2005, water basketball was
recognised as a form of basketball by the Italian
Federation of Basketball.

6. WHEEL CHAIR BASKETBALL
Wheelchair basketball is another form of
basketball played by people who are physically
impaired and are in wheelchairs. It is considered one
of the major disabled sports practiced worldwide.
The sport is governed by The International
Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF).
The Wheelchair Basketball World Championship is
held two years after every Paralympic Games

7. HORSE BALL
Horse ball is a game played on horseback where a
ball is handled and points are scored by shooting it
through a basket (hoop) of diameter about 1 m. The
sport resembles a combination of polo, rugby, and
basketball. It is one of the ten disciplines officially
recognized by the International Federation for
Equestrian Sports.

8. SLAM BALL
Slam Ball is a form of basketball which is played with
four trampolines each in front of each net and boards
around the court edge and like basketball – a ball is
supposed to be shot in the basket to score points.

9. HANDLER AND GUNNER
Handler: This is the primary ball handler on the
team. It is his job to run the offense
Gunner: The primary scorer on the team – he/she is
responsible to take the shot and score a point.

10. STOPPER
Stopper: This position is for the primary defensive
player. He/she is similar to goal keeper in football
and hockey.
The general formations of team for Slam ball are: 1
stopper, 2 handlers, and 1 gunner OR 1 stopper, 1
handler, and 2 gunners.

11. STREET BALL
Street ball also called as street basketball is another
variation of basketball which is typically played
on outdoor courts with a significantly less formal
structure and enforcement of the game's rules. The
format is more of a casual one and is more
favorable to allowing players to perform publicly
and showcase their skills.

12. HALF-COURT
The most common variation of basketball is
the half-court game which is without any
as such strict rules. Half-court games
require less cardiovascular stamina, since
do not have to run back .

13. PLAYING REGULATIONS
Games are played in four quarters of 10 (FIBA)or
12 minutes (NBA) 5 minutes are allowed for a
half-time break under FIBA Overtime periods are
five minutes in length.Teams exchange baskets for
the second half. The time allowed is actual playing
time the clock is stopped while the play is not
active. Therefore, games generally take much
longer to complete than the allotted game time,
typically about two hours.

14. BASKETBALL COURT

15. EQIPMENTS
The only essential equipment in a basketball game is
the ball and the court: a flat, rectangular surface with
baskets at opposite ends. Competitive levels require
the use of more equipment such as clocks, score
sheets, scoreboard(s), alternating possession arrows,
and whistle-operated stop-clock systems.

16. FOULS
An attempt to unfairly disadvantage an opponent
through certain types of physical contact is illegal
and is called a personal foul. These are most
commonly committed by defensive players;
however, they can be committed by offensive
players as well. Players who are fouled either
receive the ball to pass inbounds again, or receive
one or more free throws

17. COMMON TECHNIQUES
AND PRACTICES
Positions
Strategy
Shooting
Rebounding
Passing
Dribbling
Blocking

18. POSITION
During the early years of basketball's evolution, two
guards, two forwards, and one center were used. In
more recent times specific positions evolved, but the
current trend, advocated by many top coaches
including Mike Krzyzewski is towards positionless
basketball, where big guys are free to shoot from
outside and dribble if their skill allows it

19. STRATEGY
There are two main defensive strategies: zone
defense and man-to-man defense. In azone
defense, each player is assigned to guard a specific
area of the court. Zone defenses often allow the
defense to double team the ball, a manoeuver
known as a trap. In a man-to-man defense, each
defensive player guards a specific opponent.

20. SHOOTING
Shooting is the act of attempting to score points by
throwing the ball through the basket, methods
varying with players and situations. a player faces
the basket with both feet facing the basket. A player
will rest the ball on the fingertips of the dominant
hand

21. 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 or
backboard. This plays a major role in the game, as
most possessions end when a team misses a shot.
There are two categories of rebounds: offensive
rebounds and defensive rebounds.

22. PASSING
A pass is 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.A
staple pass is the chest pass. The ball is passed
directly from the passer's chest to the receiver's
chest. A proper chest pass involves an outward
snap of the thumbs to add velocity and leaves the
defence little time to react.

23. DRIMBLING
Dribbling is the act of bouncing the ball
continuously with one hand, and is a requirement
for a player to take steps with the ball. To dribble,
a player pushes the ball down towards the ground
with the fingertips rather than patting it; this
ensures greater control.

24. BLOCKING
A block is performed when, after a shot is
attempted, a defender succeeds in altering the shot
by touching the ball. In almost all variants of play,
it is illegal to touch the ball after it is in the
downward path of its arc; this is known
as goaltending. It is also illegal under NBA and
Men's NCAA basketball to block a shot after it has
touched the backboard, or when any part of the
ball is directly above the rim.
