On the Court ~ SB2 ~ Pg 162

My coach taught me a lot about basketball.
A foul is when you grab or touch another player while guarding them.
A foul shot would be given when a player is fouled while they are shooting, or if the other team already has more than ten fouls, adding another gets a foul shot. A foul shot is specifically shot from the foul line. Usually, you get two foul shots when fouled while shooting. If you are getting a shot because the other team has more than ten fouls, you may only get one shot.
A double dribble is when you pick up your dribble and then start dribbling again.

The three basic positions are: Guard, Forward, and Center.

The Guard has two different names. The point guard brings the ball down the court and calls the plays. The point guard must be able to dribble well with both hands and pass well. The Shooting guard is the one who can shoot well from all positions. They are also very fast and good at dribbling.

The Forward also has two different names. The Small forward is usually very good at rebounding or can shoot well from a long range. They should be a good passer, hard driver, and good runner as well. The Power forward is the one who goes for short range shots and lay-ups. A good Power forward will be able to get lots of rebounds. They fight for an opening to do lay-ups.

The Center's job is to block shots and get the rebounds. They are rarely expected to shoot or dribble much. Mostly, they are really good on defense.

I learned how to hold my dribble all the way down the court, pass the ball to other players, and make a basket from the foul line. Usually, when I played basketball, I was a center.

I was in volleyball. My coach taught me a lot. A hitter would be the person that makes sure the ball goes over the net. The setter puts the ball in the air after the first hit and sets it up for the next person to hit it over the net. Player rotation goes in a clockwise direction. If you were the server, you are now in the left back corner. If you were in the bottom left corner, you will go to the top left corner and so on. Every time the ball goes down on the other side of the court, if it's not out of bounds your team will get 1 point. If the ball goes out of bound on your side, and it was the other teams fault, then you will get to serve, but you will not get a point. If you knock the ball out of bounds, then it is now the other teams turn to serve the ball. You will rotate after both teams have gotten to serve. A bump, set, spike strategy would be when you bump the ball with your forearms, the setter sets it up for the spike, and the last person to touch the ball (preferably the tallest) spikes the ball over the net as hard as they can hopefully scoring a point for your team. I learned to bump and set the ball. When I got it over the net, it was with a very hard bump. I was not tall enough to spike the ball.

When I was in basketball, we did lots of streches. We held them for at least 20 seconds each. We also ran laps around the gym.

I got better at volleyball. When I first started, I did not know anything about the game. Over the course of three weeks, I learned to serve the ball underhanded, bump the ball over the net and set the ball. I also learned the basic rotation and how points were scored. Every time we practiced, we ran laps around the gym and did other conditioning exercises like sit ups and things to help us with our skills in volleyball. By the end of the three weeks, I knew lots about volleyball and was in better shape than before.
