Basketball


Introduction


Do you like to run around? Then basketball is the sport for you! Did you know a
basketball player can shoot from across the court? In this book you will learn
about basketball. Including equipment needed, how to play, dribble, make a
shot, and pass the ball. I hope you like my book.


Chapter 1
How to play
There are a lot of things to know when it comes to playing basketball.
First you have to  know when you are playing because subs are needed
during the game. Subs are when players go in and out of a game taking
turns. Next you need to know who you’re defending on the other team.
There are 5 players on the court per team at one time during the game.
The positions include: defense, offense, point guard, and running guard.

Chapter 2
What you need
You need some things to bring to basketball games. One piece of
equipment you need is basketball shoes because when it is slippery on
the court you can roll your ankle. Another thing you need is a uniform so
you know what team you are on. The last thing you need is a basketball.
You need a basketball hoop at your house because you can  practice and
you can work on your goals. You can go to a gym to practice too.

Chapter 3  
How to dribble


Dribbling can be a tricky skill, which is why you need to practice a lot.
First, you need to dribble with your fingertips not your palms because then
the ball will go everywhere. If you dribble with your fingertips you will be in
control of it. You can also dribble the ball between your legs once you are
comfortable dribbling.

Chapter 4
How to make a basket
Making a basket is the key to winning the game! First place the ball in your
strong hand and then you place your weak hand against the ball for balance
and throw the ball in the basket.

Chapter 5
How to pass
There are lots of things you need to do before you join a basketball team.
Passing is really important in the game. First, you need to pass with someone
then you need to throw the ball really hard and strong. Next you need to know
what a chest pass is and a bounce pass. A chest pass is when you throw the
ball off your chest towards your teammate. A bounce pass is when you bounce
the ball on the floor to your teammate. These are the different strategies to use
throughout the game.

Chapter 6
Practice
Practicing is very important in the game of basketball. Getting better at the
strategies is how you will become a great basketball player and win games.
Layup lines are a practice drill used to help players rebound and know how to
do layups. Passing from one player to another while shuffling is a skill needed
to become a good player.


Conclusion
Now you know all about basketball and you can go play in a real game! If you
really want a good workout then try basketball! I hope you enjoyed my “how to”
book about basketball.
