It's when a player makes a basket during the normal play of the game. Dunks, layups, jump shots, & 3 point shots are examples of field goals. A free throw is NOT a field goal because it doesn't occur during the normal play of the game.
It is when you throw the ball into the basket

A field goal is when the ball is place-kicked (center snaps ball to a holder who then places the ball on the ground on its end and the kicker kicks it). the field goal must go between the goal posts and above the crossbar to count. The kicking team receives 3 points for a fieldgoal and must then kickoff to the other team. If the kicking team misses the fieldgoal then the ball changes possession to the opposing team at the previous spot of the ball.
An extra point kicked after a touchdown is ade or it is kicked after a fourth down .

This is when the team with possession of the football lines up on the line of scrimage and a kicker from that team tries to kick the football between the two goal posts. If the kicker makes it, it is worth 3 points.

A field goal is when a team reaches 4th down and is close enough to their end to kick the ball through the up-rights, if it is successful the team gets 3 points.
