The Complete Guide To Learning The Rules Of Basketball
Introduction
Basketball is a popular sport all over the world, but there’s more to it than just throwing the ball through a hoop. Fortunately, you only need to know a few simple rules and regulations before you can start playing this fun game! Here’s how it works:
The basic rules of basketball make the game easy to understand, but they’re not always easy to remember.

The NBA has also put together a handy video that summarizes some key points:
The basketball court is divided into two halves by the free throw line and three lines (the endline, baseline and sideline).
The basketball court is divided into two halves by the free throw line and three lines (the endline, baseline and sideline).
The endline is the line that runs across the sideline and baseline.
The baseline is an imaginary line from which all players start their offensive or defensive possessions. It’s also where referees stand when calling fouls. The baseline divides half of a court into each team’s territory during play on both sides of center court–which we’ll talk about next!
Each team takes turns throwing the ball.
Each team has five players on the court at all times. Teams can have up to 12 players on their bench, but only five are allowed on the floor at once.
Each team takes turns throwing the ball, with each player having one opportunity to shoot before it’s passed off to another player on their team. The other team must wait until they get possession of the ball before they can take their turn shooting and scoring points for their side.
Points are scored when a player successfully makes a basket.
Points are scored when a player successfully makes a basket. A team that has possession of the ball can score points in two ways: by shooting it through the hoop, or by committing a foul on an opponent who then misses their shot.
Points can also be awarded to the other team if the ball goes out of bounds, or if it hits the rim and bounces off (this is called “bouncing away”).
If a player commits a foul while shooting, that team’s basket is awarded to their opponent.
If you’re familiar with the game of basketball, you know that fouls are called when a player commits a violation of the rules. Fouls can be on offense or defense and can be intentional or accidental. A foul is a penalty that results in loss of possession of the ball by either team (or sometimes both teams).
The ball may be passed or dribbled between teammates as long as it doesn’t go out-of-bounds or hit the ground too much.
The ball can only be dribbled twice before passing or shooting. If you’re going for a shot, your first touch of the ball must come from behind the 3-point line (the arc at each end of the court). You also have to pass it to someone who is behind that arc.
The same rules apply when dribbling: if you cross over into another player’s lane without dribbling, then you’ll lose possession of the ball and receive a foul. The only exception is if an offensive player has already crossed half court before he makes contact with his defender; then he can continue moving forward while still keeping control over his dribble until reaching either baseline or midcourt line before attempting any shot attempts from there onward during that possession attempt (as long as no other violations occur).
A player who has possession of the ball can only dribble twice before passing or shooting it (this includes two steps).
When you play basketball, you’re allowed to dribble the ball as many times as you want. However, there are some rules about what happens when your team has possession of the ball.
You can pass or shoot it as often as necessary until someone from the other team gets it away from you. If a player catches or intercepts a pass in midair and then takes two steps with his own feet before passing it back out of bounds or throwing an alley-oop dunk over another player’s head for an easy score (yes, this happens), then he’s not allowed to touch it again until after the next whistle sounds.
To take a shot at a goal, players must stand behind the 3-point line on one side of the court (7 feet away for small children and 10 feet for teenagers).
To take a shot at a goal, players must stand behind the 3-point line on one side of the court (7 feet away for small children and 10 feet for teenagers). If you’re fouled while shooting and your team is up by more than 10 points, or if you’ve already made two shots from behind that line in that quarter/half/game, then you cannot shoot from there.

The court is divided into two halves by a free throw line and three lines: one near each basket and another parallel with them on either side of the center line. There are also some important things you need to know about fouls and shooting fouls in this sport.
