BASKETBALL
7 MAIN SKILLS

1. Dribbling
2. Shooting
3. Passing
4. Rebounding
5. Defending
6. Foot Movement
7. Jumping
1. DRIBBLING
It is a repetitive action in which a player uses one
hand to bounce the basketball continuously, that
is, without interruption, on the court.

 HOW TO DRIBBLE
A BASKETBALL
1. Keep your head up and your eyes on the game. Don’t
look at the ball.
2. Extend your arm and snap your wrists to send the
ball into the ground.
3. Use your fingers, not your palm, to control the ball.
4. Do not bounce the ball too high while dribbling. That
will give you more control over the ball and make it
harder for defenders to steal the ball.

5. Use your body and your non-dribbling arm to shield
the ball from defenders.

 TYPES OF DRIBBLING

1. HAND PLACEMENT PRACTICE

2. LOW DRIBBLING

3. CROSSOVER DRIBBLING

4. RUNNING WHILE DRIBBLING

5. PROTECTIVE DRIBBLING

6. POWER DRIBBLING
 TYPES OF DRIBBLING

1. HAND PLACEMENT PRACTICE - For proper hand

placement, focus on spreading your fingers to

make contact with the top and the side of the

ball, allowing the upper part of your palm to

contact the ball for maximum power.

 TYPES OF DRIBBLING

2. LOW DRIBBLING

Low dribbling allows you to maintain control of

the ball with your dribbling hand.

 TYPES OF DRIBBLING

3. CROSSOVER DRIBBLING - This variation on

stationary dribbling involves passing the ball

back and forth between your left hand and

right hand.

 TYPES OF DRIBBLING

4. RUNNING WHILE DRIBBLING

 TYPES OF DRIBBLING

5. PROTECTIVE DRIBBLING - This technique involves

dribbling with one hand (typically your dominant

hand) while raising your non-dribbling arm to hold

back the defender.

 TYPES OF DRIBBLING

6. POWER DRIBBLING - A power dribble involves using

both hands to quickly slam the basketball against the

ground one time and retrieve the ball again in both

hands.

 2. SHOOTING
is the most important skill in basketball.
The fundamental skills of passing,
dribbling, defense, and rebounding may
enable you to get a high percentage shot,
but you must still be able to make the
shot.
TYPE OF SHOTS

1. Jump Shot

2. Hook Shot

3. Bank Shot

4. Free Throw

5. Layup

6. Slam Dunk

 TYPE OF SHOTS

1. Jump Shot - A jump shot is most frequently used

for mid to long-range shots, including shooting

beyond the arc.

for mid to long-range shots, including shooting

beyond the arc.

 TYPE OF SHOTS

2. Hook Shot - when the shot is made while your

body is not directly facing the basket.

 TYPE OF SHOTS

3. Bank Shot - A bank shot is when any shot made

where the ball hits the backboard before heading

into the net

 TYPE OF SHOTS

4. Free Throw - A free throw is a shot attempt given

to a player that was fouled and it is taken on the free

throw line. The player must stay behind the free

throw line when taking the shot.

4. Free Throw - A free throw is a shot attempt given

to a player that was fouled and it is taken on the free

throw line. The player must stay behind the free

throw line when taking the shot.

 TYPE OF SHOTS

4. Layup -is a shot made from short range by a player

moving towards the basket. Usually utilizing the

backboard if he approaches the hoop from an angle.

This is also one of the most basic and common way of

scoring a basket in the game.

 TYPE OF SHOTS

6. Slam Dunk- The dunk is usually the most

spectacular shot and is one of the toughest feats in

basketball. It usually requires more jumping ability

than shooting skills.

 3. PASSING

"The deliberate attempt to move a live ball

between two teammates"

 2 TYPES OF PASSES

1. Air Pass - The pass Travels between players

without hitting on the floor.

2. Bounce Passes - The pass is thrown to the floor so

that it bounces to the intended receiver.

EACH TYPE OF PASS COMES
WITH ITS OWN VARIATIONS.

BASIC VARIATION:
1. Chest pass

2. Bounce Pass

3. Overhead Pass

4. Wrap Around Pass

EACH TYPE OF PASS COMES
WITH ITS OWN VARIATIONS.

ADVANCED VARIATIONS
1. Baseball Pass

2. Dribble Pass

3. Behind-the-Back Pass

4. Pick-and-Roll Pass
 BASIC VARIATIONS

1. Chest pass - The chest pass is named so because the pass

originates from the chest. When throwing a chest pass, the players

should strive to throw it to the receiver's chest level. Passes that

go low to high or high to low are difficult to catch. The chest pass

are really good for center pass or when a team mate is free.
 BASIC VARIATIONS

2. Bounce Pass - The bounce pass is thrown with the same motion

however it is aimed at the floor. It should be thrown far enough out

that the ball bounces waist high to the receiver. It is used when your

on-ball defender has their hands high and you still need to make a pass.
 BASIC VARIATIONS

3. Overhead Pass - The overhead pass is often used as an outlet pass.

Bring the ball directly above your forehead with both hands on the side

of the ball and follow through. Aim for the teammate's chin. Some

coaches advise not to bring the ball behind your head, because it can

get stolen and it takes a split-second longer to throw the pass.

 BASIC VARIATIONS

4. Wrap Around Pass - Step around the defense with your non-pivot foot.

Pass the ball with one hand (outside hand). It can be used as an air or a

bounce pass. This pass is for when a defender is applying pressure to the

ball.
ADVANCED VARIATIONS

1. Baseball Pass - A baseball pass is a one-handed pass

that uses the same motion as a baseball throw. This is

often used to make long passes.

 ADVANCED VARIATIONS

2. Dribble Pass - used to quickly pass the ball with one

hand off of the dribble. This can be an air or bounce pass.

 ADVANCED VARIATIONS

3. Behind-the-Back Pass - is when you wrap the ball

around your back to throw the ball. It is used to avoid

the defender when making a pass across the front of you

would be risky.
 TEACHING POINT

A good pass is a pass a teammate can catch.

When passing, step toward your receiver.

When catching, step toward the pass.

Like shooting, the ball should have a backspin

to it. This is accomplished by following through

on every pass.
 4. REBOUNDING

A rebound in basketball is the act of

grabbing the ball after a missed shot.
 TWO TYPES OF
REBOUNDS
1. DEFENSIVE REBOUNDS - A result of a miss by
the opposing team, generally, the defending
team has the best position to grab the rebound
as they are in between their man and the basket.
2. OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS - Happen when the
offensive player rebounds a missed shot attempt
from themselves missing a shot or their
teammate.
BOX OUT
A box out in basketball is simply a player positioning
themself to gain an advantage underneath the basket in
order to attain the rebound.

Boxing out prevents players who are stronger and can

jump higher from getting the rebound.

If a player on offense were to jump over a player who was boxing out this
could lead to a foul by the offensive player called over the back. This foul
occurs as the player makes contact with the rebounder and impedes in his
space. The foul itself is not actually called over the back but a common foul.
 5. BASKETBALL DEFENSE

defensive strategies, alignments,
A basketball defense refers to the
and positioning that a team uses to prevent the opposing offense
from scoring baskets. In basketball, good defense requires quickness,
footwork, and a deep understanding of the fundamentals.
It’s not just about preventing the opposition from scoring, it’s about
getting those steals and deflections right, reclaiming possession, and
shifting the dynamic so that your team is calling the shots.
 4 TYPES OF DEFENSES

Man-to-Man Defense - is a defensive formation in which a coach

01
assigns each player on the line-up a specific offensive player to
follow and defend on the court. Man-to-man defense pairs every
defensive player with an offensive counterpart to guard. For
example, a small forward will guard a small forward in this
defense.
 4 TYPES OF DEFENSES

02 Zone Defense - is a defensive

formation in which a coach assigns
each player to cover a specific area of
the court. In a zone scheme, a
defender begins to guard an opponent
when the opponent enters the
defender's designated zone.

Once the offensive player leaves the

defender's zone, the defender continues
protecting their zone instead of following the
offensive player as they would in a man-to-
man defense.
02 ZONE DEFENSE
SOME COMMON ZONE LAYOUTS INCLUDE:

2-3 ZONE

This is the most common zone layout.

Two players stand high at the free
throw line, while the remaining three
defenders guard the baseline. This
zone defense is great for defending
baseline and corner attacks, as well as
securing rebounds.
02 ZONE DEFENSE
SOME COMMON ZONE LAYOUTS INCLUDE:

3-2 ZONE

This alignment places three defenders

in line at the free throw line and allows
for more pressure from the wings,
making for a more difficult long-range
shot.
02 ZONE DEFENSE
SOME COMMON ZONE LAYOUTS INCLUDE:

1-3-1 ZONE

The 1-3-1 layout consists of one player

above the free throw line, three players
staggered across the paint and one
player guarding the baseline underneath
the hoop. This is a good defense for
guarding head-on attacks at the top of
the circle and for forcing offenses into
corners for potential traps and
turnovers.
02 ZONE DEFENSE
SOME COMMON ZONE LAYOUTS INCLUDE:

2-1-2 ZONE

Two players guard the free throw line, while one

player is placed in the lane and the final two
defenders are placed at the baseline. This layout
is a good defense against baseline attacks and
offenses working into the paint.

1-2-2 ZONE

Also called the “jug” defense, one player guards

above the foul line while two players guard the
wings. The final two defenders are responsible
for the baseline.
 4 TYPES OF DEFENSES

03 Combination Defense -
(also called a junk defense)
is a combination of man-to-
man and zone defensive
schemes. Teams don't typically
use combination defenses as
their primary defensive
strategy, but rather as a way to
confuse their opponents at a
point in the game when they
need the momentum to change
to their side
 02 COMBINATION DEFENSE
A FEW COMMON COMBINATION DEFENSES INCLUDE:

BOX & ONE

One of the most common combination defenses, this setup leaves one
individual to guard one specific player, usually the star opponent or player
with the hot hand, while the rest of the defense forms a box shape in the paint.
 02 COMBINATION DEFENSE
A FEW COMMON COMBINATION DEFENSES INCLUDE:

DIAMOND & ONE

This layout is similar to box & one, but instead of a box with two players at the
free throw line and two on the baseline, the shape rotates to form a diamond
with one defender at the foul line and baseline, respectively.
 02 COMBINATION DEFENSE
A FEW COMMON COMBINATION DEFENSES INCLUDE:

TRIANGLE & TWO

When an opposing team has two star players who can easily take over an
offensive attack, a triangle & two defense can be a good response. In this
scheme, two players are left to match up man-to-man, while the remaining
three defenders protect against penetration by forming a triangle in the paint.
02 COMBINATION DEFENSE
A FEW COMMON COMBINATION DEFENSES INCLUDE:

MATCH-UP ZONE

This zone defense scheme is essentially a reaction to the

offense’s attack. Also known as “amoeba defense,” match-up
zone is usually run out of either a 2-3 or 1-3-1 starting alignment
and then adjusts to the offense’s layout. This strategy is great for
giving offenses a true match and for forcing corner traps and
turnovers. Be cautious, however, as match-ups can be beaten by
offenses prone to cutting routes and schemes.

 4 TYPES OF DEFENSES

04 Press Defense -

There are two types of press defense: half-court and full-court.

Both are all about the same thing, though: pressure. The defense either
pressures the offense across the whole court or only half of it. This should
help defensive players deflect or steal, as well as tire out the opponent and
increase forced errors. Teams can play a press defense using man-to-man or
zone defensive strategies.
 PRESS DEFENSE

1 Full-court press defense:

A full-court press is a defensive strategy where the defense
applies constant pressure to the offensive team across the
entire length of the court, beginning with the initial inbound
pass (also called a throw-in).
 PRESS DEFENSE

2 Half-court press defense:

Half-court press is a defensive strategy where the defense

applies pressure to the offense as soon as they begin to dribble
or pass the ball over the half-court line.

As the name suggests, in a half-court press defense, the

defensive team applies pressure on half of the court. You can
count on a half-court press defense at any time in the game and
it’s a great option in many ways because all your defensive
players are on the frontcourt.
HOW TO BLOCK AGAINST
THE DIFFERENT TYPES
OF BASKETBALL
SCORING SHOTS
An effective succession of block shots will also give your team
a psychological advantage over your opponent as this will
shake their confidence in their scoring abilities. It will not be
surprising that this will have an impact on the outcome of a
match.
HOW TO BLOCK AGAINST THE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF BASKETBALL SCORING SHOTS
1. Block a jump shot

As jump shots are common in basketball, make it

a priority to master this block. Timing is
important when it comes to blocking a jump
shot.
HOW TO BLOCK AGAINST THE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF BASKETBALL SCORING SHOTS
2. Block a slam dunk

An attempt to block a slam dunk is considered a risky call. This is

simply because getting a clean block is difficult. An unsuccessful
attempt to block a slam dunk might earn you a foul.
HOW TO BLOCK AGAINST THE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF BASKETBALL SCORING SHOTS
3. Block a “fadeaway” shot

Blocking fadeaway shots can be tricky. This is

because the shooter will jump backwards
before launching the ball towards the hoop,
making it impossible for the defender to swat
the ball away.

 6. FOOT MOVEMENT
It is the movements a player executes with their feet.
It affects the way players move around the court, the way they shoot, the
way they get open, and most importantly if those moves are successful.
Basically, it influences all movements executed in a basketball court, and
so it must be practiced by players of all levels.
It helps players to shoot, rebound, and pass better.
HOW TO IMPROVE FOOTWORK?

It must be practiced thoroughly.

By doing drills that work both the
techniques of footwork and quickness
necessary to execute it. And repeat them.
 7. JUMPING

VERTICAL JUMP
primary and essential skill in the jumping ability of a basketball player
combination of two essential motor qualities: strength and speed
essential for small players (point guard, shooting guard) and tall players
(short forward, power forward, center), emphasizing small players who
have to compensate for their height
JUMP SHOT
The jump shot is the most important shot in
basketball. It is a basic shooting technique in
which a player throws the ball towards the
basket from a straight vertical jump. The jump
shot is done with one hand, where the second
hand holds the ball in place until the shot is
taken. The jump can be made from
movement, for example while dribbling, as
well as from a standing position.
