How basketball is played?

Answer 1

You play Basketball by starting off with a basketball. You then wait for the clock to start the game. You then try to keep the ball on your side. You have to keep your eye on the players and be hopefull that you make the shot. Now you only have two fifteen min halves and five min to rest so you beter not wear your self out!!!
With 5 players on a side, the goal is to put the ball through a hoop which is at either end of the court, 10 feet above the floor.

Answer 2

In basketball, you have one basketball, and five players from each team out on the court at once. Two players (usually tall players) will do the jump. he jump is where the ref holds the ball in the middle of the two players, and throws it up, and the players try to pass the ball to one of their team mates.The game is played in quarters from there. College Basketball only has two, while at younger ages you will experience four. Each basket your team makes on the other team's side is worth two points. In the end when you're all out of time, the team with the higher amount of points wins. If you are fouled (pushed or thrown down), you'll get a chance at the free-throw line. each basket you make from there is worth one point. Usually you get two shots at the free-throw line. Pressing is another big part of the game basketball. At younger ages pressing is not allowed, but when you are at ages such as 11, 12, and older pressing is allowed. Pressing is where you are able to try to steal the ball from the other team as they take it down the court ( when they are on their side). When you shoot at the three-point line, you get three points. In basketball there is five positions. one: Point Guard, two: Forward 1, three: Forward 2, four: Guard 1, and five: Guard 2. The point guard always takes the ball down the court after a turn-over.
