Basketball is a group sport in which two teams including five players each, where they oppose one another in the court and the team who scores the most, wins. Every Friday, we are taken to DWIT with my friends. We learned layups, dribbling, passing, shooting, and other basic basketball skills. We also played 3 by 3 matches. We were guided by our coach, Shreya ma’am. She instructed us about basic basketball rules such as: running with the ball in our hands which is called traveling. Rather the ball could only be moved either by dribbling or passing. The team trying to score a basket is called offense while the team trying to prevent them from scoring is called the defence. The defense must do all they can to stop the offense from scoring. After each successful score, it is then turned over to the opposition. These were some primary rules of basketball that we learned. Furthermore, I am looking forward to being an expertized player in basketball.
