Basketball Basic For Females

Let me introduce to you the world of basketball… It is a damn easy game to play…. It requires accurate judgment… judge the distances between you and the ring… Moreover… it is a test of skills to go pass your opponent and score a basket…

1st … let me teach you how to hold the ball while shooting… Place your 2 hands on opposite side on the ball (shift your hand to the bottom of the ball a little).- wider than the way shown in the picture. Remember… when you want to shoot… use your leg muscle to help you… don’t use your hand only… before u shoot, bend your knees a little… Next, jump. When you are in the air, push out your 2 hands outwards to shoot.

Next, I will teach you how to dribble the ball… It is just like bouncing a ball... Just remember that use your palms… Practice makes perfect… After a few practices, you should be about to bounce a ball properly. More practices will enhance your skills (bounce the ball freely, do crossover between legs)

After learning how to bounce a ball, you can proceed with simple lay-ups… It is easy… when you dribble near the basketball… Make a 2 step run (hold the ball in your hand) and jump… Remember to straighten your arms… When u feel like you are at the limit of your jump, flip the ball up… Aim for the small red (usually) rectangle…

That’s all… You can start playing BASKETBALL… ENJOY!!!!
