Here are some tips on how to play basketball. Practice shots that you’d take in a game. Stand still catch, dribble and shoot. Catch while on the move and shoot. For shooting the basketball you must have your entire body in the right position to ensure that you have the greatest chance of making the shot. First you should have your strong arm up and bent at a 90 degree angle. Have your weak arm up along side and make it your helper hand. Then flick your wrist and push your arm up to propel the ball towards the net. Make sure you square up to the basket when shooting.

Practice dribbling with your head up. If you have to look down while dribbling, it means you haven’t practiced enough. Dribble all over your place to get used to it. Watch good point guards – they’re looking forward and around while dribbling, not down. Get down low if you have to, but make sure you’re seeing the floor while dribbling.

Throw quick passes that people can handle. If someone cuts, and you fire a pass at them, make sure you’re leading them to where they’re running with the pass, so they don’t have to slow down to catch it. After you pass, keep moving, so you’re of some use in the play.

Boxing out is important. Most players over looked this one. If the shot goes up and you don’t box out, the other team has just a good a chance of grabbing the board as you do. Boxing out is absolutely essential when you’re on defense, or else you’re going to give up lots of offensive boards.
