OFFENSE: Is when twoor more players try to dribble the ball across the court and try to score a basket.
DEFENSE: Two players who try to defend your basket from being scored on.
REBOUND: A rebound is simply that. It is the rebound of the ball off the back of the board of the basket.
INTERCEPT: Is when you catch the ball in the middle of a pass. Say the someone on the other team tried to pass the ball to another player. You have to try and get in there to catch the ball before the other player.
RULES:
IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO:
.When dribbling, bounce the ball from one hand to the other (in a V pattern)
.Dribble, stop and hold the ball with both hands, then continue dribbling.
.Passing is a must. You must pass to the other players when playing the game to try and get a basket. But only pass to your team players.
hollister_lover09 answered Saturday April 28 2007, 11:05 am: dribbling- you have to be slighly bent over, keep the ball at waist high, always look up..
shooting-keep your shooting elbow in,(shoot with one hand, not two) when releasing the ball, take your shooting arm straight up but when the ball releases, flick your fingers down.
to play defense- stay low, bend your knee and arch your back not to much but just enough. slid your feet, dont hop. keep your arms out. one higher then the other. you cant really touch the oppiste team, maybe a touch here and there, but you cant run them over, you grab anything.
if your person doesnt have the ball, then you can hold on to their jersey, not alot, but just so they know your there. and when they start to move, let go.
rebounding(this might not be good, im not a post) but dont go to far under the basket. maybe a foot and a half away from it. dont jump to soon or to late, when it first starts to come down is when you want to jump.
passing the ball.
there are two ways to do this.
bounce pass, you want to pass the ball with bounce. if someone is running infront of you, pass the ball to where the WILL be. not where they are at when you pass it.
chest pass- this is a strong hard pass- to do this start from your chest and aim it at your friends chest, if they are running, again, throw the ball to where they will be and not where their at now.
rules..
no double dribbling-meaning your dribbling, and you touch it with both hands at the same time, and start dribbling again.
no carrying the ball- meaning pretty much holding the ball and running with it.
no fighting
only 5 players playing at a time for a team
if you foul someone, they get a free throw.
freethrow- a free shot with noone around them, they stand infront of the basket, 10 feet away (theres a line where thats at) and gets two chances, unless they get fouled and make the basket, then they only get one.
your not allowed to push someone, that will get you kicked out of the game.
there is a half court mark. once you have the ball and pass that line, where you basket is, you can NOT go back over it with the ball, thats called over and back.
there is out of bounds making the shape of the court.

NinjaNeer answered Saturday April 28 2007, 9:43 am: Unfortunately, we can't do your homework for you. I understand that you have a busy weekend coming up, but for us to do your assignment is academic dishonesty.
We can, however, give you a little help. This stuff is really easy to find. I just Googled "basketball" and got a whole bunch. Here are some links.
Also, basketball was invented in 1891 by James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts. He needed an indoor game that could be played bya few people in a short amount of time.
Oh, and if you're truly pressed for time, ask your teacher for a time extension. Explain that you were busy with church all weekend. A letter from a parent helps a lot. Especially if your teacher is stubborn :) [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]
