How to Learn the basics of Basketball

Hi! Have you wanted to learn how to play basketball? Well,this is a great time to learn. Learning basketball will be a breeze if you follow these specific steps. As you are learning how to play basketball you will notice it will get easier. Of course you have to get a basketball. There are different sizes so get a ball that is only about fewer inches bigger than your hand, that will make it easier.

First, is you want to learn to dribble. Dribbling is bouncing your ball repeatedly.You should dribble with one hand. Try to remember that you must dribble soft.  Now you’ve learned a dribble. After learning a dribble use your dribble to practice shooting in the hoop. You probably didn’t get it in the hoop the first time. To practice get a good grip on the ball. Once you’ve gotten a good grip on the ball you will find it easier to shoot the ball into the  hoop. If not you should probably jump to make it easier. As you jump you will get closer to the hoop. If you got in the hoop great job if not go from a far distant run and then shoot thats another way. Those are 2 ways to shoot 1 last way is to stand right in front of the hoop and shoot from there.

As you learn, play with your friends . In a real basketball tournament there is more players and people do a move called a pass. A pass is when you pass the ball to another player. As you pass the ball the other person passes the ball. It is not to easy to play basketball so you should play with one of your friend who have a experience with basketball maybe even your parents!

Well, thats it, the basics of basketball now you're ready to be a pro! maybe ask one of your friends or parents to teach you more about basketball.
