Basketball Rules Commentary Foul Violation Basic Rules

Here are the basic rules of basketball.

What is basketball

Basketball is a game in which two teams of basically five players compete for the ball and put the ball in the goal of the opponent team to compete for the score.
Unlike wide fields such as baseball and soccer, the game proceeds at a very fast speed because it is played in a relatively narrow court with a length of 28 m and a width of 15 m (minibusses are 22 to 28 m and a width of 12 to 15 m).

* In the case of minibusses (elementary school students), a total of 10 people including substitutes must participate in the game.

How To Handle Basketball

The ball is handled by hand. Do not walk more than 3 steps with the ball (traveling).

Hit the ball on the court, called dribbling, to reach the opponent's goal. You cannot stop dribbling and re-dribble the ball you once held (double dribbling).

About Scoring

Goals from outside the 3-point line are 3 points. One goal from the free throw line. Other points are 2 points.

Match Time

One quarter (also called a period) is a 10-minute, four-time 40-minute match.

For junior high school students, 1 quarter 8 minutes 4 times. Minibusses (elementary school students) take 1 quarter 5 minutes 4 times.

Each quarter has a two-minute interval, with a 10-minute half-time between two and three quarters.

After 4 quarters, if both teams have the same score, an extra 5 minutes (3 minutes for junior high school/minibus) will be played.

If the final match is not reached in the extra time, the extra time will be repeated after a 2-minute interval. Overtime repeats this until it is settled.

Game Start And End

The game will not start unless both teams have five players. The game starts from the jump ball in the center circle.

The coats are switched in the first half and the second half.

Violation

If you violate, ownership of the ball will be transferred to the opposing team. The game resumes by throwing in from the side or outside the end line near the point where the violation occurred. The main violations are the time rules such as the 24-second rule and the 8-second rule, and the rules for handling balls such as double dribbling and traveling.
