The jump ball starts at the beginning of the game when the referee throws the ball up in the air.
The game starts with a jump ball where both teams line-up around the center circle and one member from each team attempts to jump up and tap the ball to their team.
A basketball match has 5 players from each team at a time on the court. In the centre ring, a player from each team will begin in 'jump ball'. This means that an umpire will throw a ball up and the player doing jump ball will try to tap the ball in the air to a player from their own team. This is how it begins.
It is possibly for a jump ball to be re done, but it has to be in emergency situations for example, when they do the jump ball and the lights go out, they will redo the jump.

No, a jump ball does not start each quarter in basketball. The game begins with a jump ball at center court, but subsequent quarters start with the team that did not gain possession after the initial jump ball receiving the ball. The alternating possession rule is used to determine who gets the ball at the start of the second and fourth quarters.
When the referee throws the ball up between two players to start a game, that is called a jump ball.
Yes. Technically, if you want to begin dribbling, you must put down the ball before you lift your pivot foot. If you jump to shoot, you have already lifted your pivot foot, and you must either shoot or pass the ball. If the ball touches the floor, you may not be the first one to touch the ball.See http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_10.html?nav=ArticleListSection XIV
