What equipment do you need to play basketball?

Answer 1

The two essential pieces of equipment needed in order to play Basketball are a basketball and a hoop. Those are the only pieces you need to play- of course, there are more that you can have. Those include jerseys, a basketball court, the three point and free throw line, and the shot clock.

Clothing:

• Tshirts that aren't too baggy, but not too tight are good.

• Shorts that are about an inch above the knee is good but below is not bad either.
• Compression shorts are a pair of tight shorts that some people wear under their regular shorts which can be helpful sometimes.
• Knee pads are very good to help protect your knees when you slide on the court
• Socks (For game situations: Black, White, or team colors.)

Shoes: Usually the regular basketball shoes that come up to your ankle for support are great.

Basketball: For girls, a 28.5 size ball is good

For guys, a 29.5 size ball is good.

First Aid kit:

• bandages
• Ice packs

Water Bottle!

A basketball goal would be very handy also.

A pavement area would be good. practicing on rocks, grass, etc. is difficult.

Its also good to have a gym bag to hold your shoes, ice packs, jerseys, water bottle, bandages, braces, and other stuff.

EXTRA:

• Cones: If you dribble at a stand still and do tricks at a standstill, then in a game, you will only be able to use the tricks while standing still. Set up cones and the cones will represent a player, and go back and forth doing tricks between every cone. At first it will be hard, but push yourself. You WILL get better!
• A towel is just an extra thing if your sweaty and want to wipe of the sweat. A small one will do.
• (Girls) Extra hairbands are great! Just in case one breaks its nice to have spares
• Under shirts. Sometimes jerseys are baggy so either a white, black, or team color undershirt will do.

Remember:

What you practice at home, that's what you'll be better at in a game.

How you practice it also will determine how it will go (If you were to practice a lay-up by jogging, that will not help you. Use the cones and speed through them while practicing dribbling drills then finish with a layup.)
