Basketball Basic Skills


Dribbling

Dribbling is the most abused skill especially amongst amateur basketball


players. This skill will allow you to move up and down the court, maneuver
past defenders and execute plays. It is also best if you know how to dribble
equally well with both hands.
High/Low
The high dribble is used when you are trying to move the ball up the court very
quickly. Typically, you will see high dribbles after steals and during fast-break
opportunities.
Change of Pace-Fast/Slow
A change of pace dribble is used to cause your defender to lose his balance as you
move the ball forward with a high dribble.
Crossover
If your defender is making a strong attempt to prevent you from going right or
left, using a crossover dribble can be effective.
Between the Legs
The between the legs dribble is used to go past a defender who is overplaying you.
If you are going left, begin with rapid low dribbles with your right hand.
Behind the Back
If you want to change directions while keeping a good view of the entire court, a
behind the back dribble can be effective

Shooting

In order to win a game in basketball, you need to


shoot the ball into the basket. This refers to the ability
to properly hold and throw the ball into the air toward
the basket while avoiding defenders. A proper shot
requires precise aiming, arm extension and lift from
the legs.

Jump shot is most frequently used for mid to long-range shots, including shooting beyond the
arc.

Hook shot is when the shot is made while your body is not directly facing the basket.

Bank shot is when any shot made where the ball hits the backboard before heading into the net 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..

Layup is a shot made from short range by a player moving towards the basket. Usually utilising
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.

Dunk is usually the most spectacular shot and is one of the toughest feats in basketball.

Passing

Passing is a skill that when mastered can help you become a complete basketball
player. It is a great manifestation of teamwork in a basketball team. Basketball is a
team sport that involves finding a teammate who is open for a shot. The ability to
pass the ball to this player can make the difference between scoring and not
scoring.

Bounce Pass - most effective when it begins with a shot fake or pass
fake up high. 
Chest pass - most efficient and effective pass for ball movement.
Overhead pass - to pass over a defender whose hands are down.
One-hand push pass -It works best when the passer fakes high and
then passes low.
