FOR YOUR PRACTICAL PLEASE PRACTICE PASSING, DRIBBLING AND SHOOTING MENTALLY AND PREPARE
FOR YOUR PRACTICAL EXERCISES WHEN WE SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN, THAT I DON’T KNOW WHEN, JUST
PREPARE PRACTICING WITH YOUR BROTHER, SISTER, MAYBE YOUR FRIEND OR DADDY. IF NOBODY IS
AVAILABLE, AND THERE IS A WALL IN YOUR PLACE YOU CAN DRIBBLE AGAINST THE WALL, PASS AGAINST
THE WALL AND SHOOT AGAINST THE WALL. MAKE ONE SPOT OR TARGET ON THE WALL AND PRACTICE
IN THAT SPOT. IF YOU CAN HIT THE SPOT FOR TEN TIMES, I BELIEVE YOU ARE READY FOR PRACTICAL
EXAM WHEN YOU COME BACK.
IN PASSING YOUR DISTANCE IS 5 STEPS FROM THE WALL, FACE THE WALL, HIT THE SPOT OR TARGET
YOU MADE FOR ALL KINDS OF PASS, YOU CAN IMPROVE THAT BY MOVING ANOTHER 5 STEPS AWAY
FROM THE WALL, OUR GOAL IS 10 PASS EACH FOR ALL TYPES OF PASS 10 STEPS FROM THE SPOT.
IN SHOOTING, MAKE YOUR SPOT ON THE WALL 10 FEET HIGH, MAY BE ROUND OR SQUARE oR YOUR
FAVORITE IMAGE YOU WANT TO TARGET. START 5 FEET FROM THE WALL, AND DO THE SHOOTING,
HITTING YOUR TARGET OR THE SPOT YOU MADE FOR TEN TIMES, JUST IMAGINE YOU ARE GIVEN A FREE
SHOT BY THE OFFICIALS. AGAIN 10 SHOTS ON THE SPOT OR TARGET IS OUR GOAL. GOOD LUCK.
YOU CAN REST FOR A WHILE BETWEEN EACH SKILL YOU PRACTICE AND WHILE YOU ARE RESTING TAKE
TIME TO READ ABOUT VIOLATIONS BEING COMMITTED BY THE PLAYERS WHEN DRIBBLING, PASSING

Art. 24 Dribbling
24.1 Definition
24.1.1 A
dribble is the movement of a live ball caused by a player in control of
that ball who throws, taps, rolls or bounces the ball on the floor.
24.1.2 A dribble starts when a player, having gained control of a live ball on the playing court throws,
taps, rolls or bounces it on the floor and touches it again before it touches another player.
A dribble ends when the player touches the ball with both hands simultaneously or permits the ball to
come to rest in one or both hands.
During a dribble the ball may be thrown into the air provided the ball touches the floor or another
player before the player who threw it touches it again with his hand. There is no limit to the number of
steps a player may take when the ball is not in contact with his hand.
24.1.3 A player who accidentally loses and then regains control of a live ball on the playing court is
considered to be fumbling the ball.
• Attempts to gain control of the ball by tapping it from the vicinity of other players.
• Tossing the ball from hand to hand and allowing it to come to rest in one or both hands before
touching the floor, provided that no travelling violation is committed.
• Throwing the ball against the backboard and regaining the control of the ball.
24.2 Rule
A player shall not dribble for a second time after his first dribble has ended unless between the 2
dribbles he has lost control of a live ball on the playing court because of:
Art. 25 Travelling
25.1 Definition
25.1.1 Travelling is the illegal movement of one foot or both feet beyond the limits outlined in this
article, in any direction, while holding a live ball on the playing court.
25.1.2 A pivot is the legal movement in which a player who is holding a live ball on the playing court
steps once or more than once in any direction with the same foot, while the other foot, called the pivot
foot, is kept at its point of contact with the floor.
25.2 Rule
25.2.1 Establishing a pivot foot by a player who catches a live ball on the playing court:
• A player who catches the ball while standing with both feet on the floor:
▬ The moment one foot is lifted, the other foot becomes the pivot foot.
▬ To start a dribble, the pivot foot may not be lifted before the ball is released from the hand(s).
▬ To pass or shoot for a field goal, the player may jump off a pivot foot, but neither foot may be
returned to the floor before the ball is released from the hand(s).
• A player who catches the ball while he is progressing, or upon completion of a dribble, may take two
steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball:
▬ If, after receiving the ball, a player shall release the ball to start his dribble before his second step.
▬ The first step occurs when one foot or both feet touch the floor after gaining control of the ball.
▬ The second step occurs after the first step when the other foot touches the floor or both feet touch
the floor simultaneously.
▬ If the player who comes to a stop on his first step has both feet on the floor or they touch the floor
simultaneously, he may pivot using either foot as his pivot foot. If he then jumps with both feet, no foot
may return to the floor before the ball is released from the hand(s).
▬ If a player lands with one foot he may only pivot using that foot.
▬ If a player jumps off one foot on the first step, he may land with both feet simultaneously for the
second step. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot. If one foot or both feet then
leave the floor, no foot may return to the floor before the ball is released from the hand(s).
▬ If both feet are off the floor and the player lands on both feet simultaneously, the moment one foot
is lifted the other foot becomes the pivot foot.
▬ A player may not touch the floor consecutively with the same foot or both feet after ending his
dribble or gaining control of the ball.
• It is a violation if the player then rolls or attempts to stand up while holding the ball.
Art. 26 3 Seconds
26.1 Rule
26.1.1 A player shall not remain in the opponents' restricted area for more than 3 consecutive seconds
while his team is in control of a live ball in the frontcourt and the game clock is running.
• Dribbles in the restricted area to shoot for a field goal after having been there for less than 3

Art. 28 8 Seconds
28.1 Rule
28.1.1 Whenever:
• On a throw-in, the ball touches or is legally touched by any player in the backcourt and the team of
that player taking the throw-in remains in control of the ball in its backcourt, that team must cause the

• The ball touches or is legally touched by an offensive player who has both feet completely in contact
with his frontcourt.
• The ball touches or is legally touched by a defensive player who has part of his body in contact with
his backcourt.
• The ball touches an official who has part of his body in contact with the frontcourt of the team in
control of the ball.
• During a dribble from the backcourt to the frontcourt, the ball and both feet of the dribbler are
completely in contact with the frontcourt.
28.1.3 The 8-second period shall continue with any time remaining when the same team that previously
had control of the ball is awarded a throw-in in the backcourt, as a result of:
• A double foul.
Art. 29 24 seconds
29.1 Rule (THE 24 SECONDS STARTS;)
29.1.1 Whenever:
• On a throw-in, the ball touches or is legally touched by any player on the playing court and the team
of that player taking the throw-in remains in control of the ball, that team must attempt a shot for a
field goal within 24 seconds.
• The ball must leave the player's hand(s) before the shot clock signal sounds, and
• After the ball has left the player's hand(s), the ball must touch the ring or enter the basket.
29.1.2 When a shot for a field goal is attempted near the end of the 24-second period and the shot
clock signal sounds while the ball is in the air:
• If the ball enters the basket, no violation has occurred, the signal shall be disregarded and the goal
shall count.
• If the ball touches the ring but does not enter the basket, no violation has occurred, the signal shall
be disregarded and the game shall continue.
• If the ball misses the ring, a violation has occurred. However, if the opponents gain an immediate and
clear control of the ball, the signal shall be disregarded and the game shall continue. When the
backboard is equipped with yellow lighting along its perimeter at the top, the lighting takes precedence
over the shot clock signal sound.
29.2 Procedure
29.2.1 The shot clock shall be reset whenever the game is stopped by an official:
• For a foul or violation (not for the ball having gone out-of-bounds) by the team not in control of the
ball,
• For any valid reason by the team not in control of the ball,
• For any valid reason not connected with either team. In these situations, the possession of the ball
shall be awarded to the same team that previously had control of the ball. If the throw-in is then
administered in that team’s:
▬ If 14 seconds or more are displayed on the shot clock at the time when the game was stopped, the
shot clock shall not be reset, but shall continue from the time it was stopped.
▬ If 13 seconds or less are displayed on the shot clock at the time when the game was stopped, the
shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds. However, if the game is stopped by an official for any valid
reason not connected with either team and, in the judgement of an official, the reset of the shot clock
would place the opponents at a disadvantage, the shot clock shall continue from the time it was
stopped.
29.2.2 The shot clock shall be reset whenever a throw-in is awarded to the opponents’ team after the
game is stopped by an official for a foul or violation (including for the ball having gone out-of-bounds)
committed by the team in control of the ball. The shot clock shall also be reset if the new offensive
team is awarded a throw-in according to the alternating possession procedure. If the throw-in is then
administered in that team’s:
29.2.3 Whenever the game is stopped by an official for a technical foul committed by the team in
control of the ball, the game shall be resumed with a throw-in from the place nearest to where the
game was stopped. The shot clock shall not be reset but shall continue from the time it was stopped.
29.2.4 When the game clock shows 2:00 minutes or less in the fourth quarter or overtime, following a
time-out taken by the team that is entitled to the possession of the ball from its backcourt, the head
coach of that team has the right to decide whether the game shall be resumed with a throw-in from the
throw-in line in the team’s frontcourt or from the team’s backcourt at the place nearest to where the
game was stopped.
• If as a result of the ball having gone out-of-bounds and if from the team's:
▬ Backcourt, the shot clock shall continue from the time it was stopped.
▬ Frontcourt: If the shot clock shows 13 seconds or less it shall continue from the time it was
stopped. If the shot clock shows 14 seconds or more, it shall be reset to 14 seconds.
• If as a result of a foul or violation (not for the ball having gone out-of-bounds) and if from the
team's:
• If the time-out is taken by the team which has a new control of the ball, and if from the team's:
29.2.5 When the team is awarded a throw-in from the throw-in line in the team’s frontcourt as part of
the penalty for an unsportsmanlike or disqualifying foul, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds.
29.2.6 After the ball has touched the ring of the opponents’ basket, the shot clock shall be reset to:
• 14 seconds, if the team which regains control of the ball is the same team that was in control of the
ball before the ball touched the ring.
29.2.7 If the shot clock signal sounds in error while a team has control of the ball or neither team has
control of the ball, the signal shall be disregarded, and the game shall continue. However, if in the
judgement of an official, the team in control of the ball has been placed at a disadvantage, the game
shall be stopped, the shot clock shall be corrected and possession of the ball shall be awarded to that
team.
• A player of that team is touching his frontcourt with both feet while holding, catching or dribbling the
ball in his frontcourt, or
• The ball is passed between the players of that team in its frontcourt.
30.1.2 A team in control of a live ball in the frontcourt has caused the ball to be illegally returned to its
backcourt, if a player of that team is the last to touch the ball in his frontcourt and the ball is then first
touched by a player of that team:
This restriction applies to all situations in a team's frontcourt, including throw-ins. However, it does not
apply to a player who jumps from his frontcourt, establishes a new team control while still airborne and
then lands with the ball in his team’s backcourt.
30.2 Rule
A team which is in control of a live ball in its frontcourt may not cause the ball to be illegally returned to
its backcourt.
30.3 Penalty

to the infraction except directly behind the backboard.
• Begins when the ball leaves the hand(s) of a player in the act of shooting.
▬ Enters the basket directly from above and remains within the basket or passes through the basket
entirely.
▬ Becomes dead.
31.2 Rule
31.2.1 Goaltending occurs during a shot for a field goal when a player touches the ball while it
is completely above the level of the ring and:
31.2.2 Goaltending occurs during a shot for a free throw when a player touches the ball
while it is in flight to the basket and before it touches the ring.
• After a shot for a field goal or the last free throw a player touches the basket or the backboard while
the ball is in contact with the ring.
• After a free throw followed by an additional free throw(s), a player touches the ball, the basket or the
backboard while there is still a possibility that the ball will enter the basket.
• A player reaches through the basket from below and touches the ball.
• A defensive player touches the ball or the basket while the ball is within the basket, thus preventing
the ball from passing through the basket.
• A player causes the basket to vibrate or grasps the basket in such a way that, in the judgement of an
official, the ball has been prevented from entering the basket or has been caused to enter the basket.
31.2.5 When:
▬ The ball was in flight on a shot for a field goal or on a last free throw,
• The game clock signal has sounded for the end of the quarter or overtime,
No player shall touch the ball after it has touched the ring while it still has the possibility to enter the
basket.
31.3.1 If the violation is committed by an offensive player, no points can be awarded. The ball shall be
awarded to the opponents for a throw-in from the free-throw line extended, unless otherwise stated in
these rules.
31.3.2 If the violation is committed by a defensive player, the offensive team is awarded:
• 2 points, if the ball was released from the 2-point field goal area.
• 3 points, if the ball was released from the 3-point field goal area. The awarding of the points is
considered as if the ball had entered the basket.
31.3.3 If the goaltending is committed by a defensive player during a last free throw, 1 point shall be
awarded to the offensive team, followed by a technical foul penalty charged on the defensive player.
