In Basketball, a tip off is the method used to start the game or begin each quarter. It involves the referee tossing the ball into the air between two opposing players, who then jump to try and tap the ball to their teammates. The team that gains possession of the ball after the tip off gets the first opportunity to score.

Tip off
A tip off in basketball is when the referee tosses the ball into the air at the center circle to start the game. The two players from each team jump to try and tap the ball to their teammates. The team that wins the tip off gets the first possession of the game, giving them an early advantage in scoring.
Centre.
A ref or someone else throws the ball in the air and two players jump in an attempt to tip it to a teammate. This is known as a "tip-off".
During a basketball game, the tip-off occurs at the beginning of the game and after halftime. The referee tosses the ball up in the air at the center circle, and one player from each team jumps to try to tip the ball to their teammates. The team that gains possession of the ball after the tip-off gets the first possession of the game.
One effective tip-off basketball strategy for winning games is to focus on controlling the tip-off by having a strong and agile player designated to jump for the ball. This player should aim to tip the ball to a teammate who is strategically positioned to gain possession and start the offensive play. This can give your team an early advantage and set the tone for the rest of the game.
