PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Fall (3v3) Study Guide

GENERAL Triple Threat Position – ball on dominant side hip. Can shoot, dribble or pass from this position.

COMMON VIOLATIONS/FOULS – with two hands. Dribbling picking it up and then dribbling again (turnover) – moving feet without dribbling (turnover) carry – getting under (palm up) the ball and rolling it completely over (palm down) while dribbling (turnover) shooting – person is hit in the act of shooting (foul shots) reach-in-foul – slapping an offensive player on the arm/wrist in an attempt to the ball (turnover) offensive 3 seconds – an offensive player may only stand in the paint for 3 seconds at a time (turnover)

PICKS A pick is defined as an offensive player (with-out the ball), setting up to off a defensive player. What is the purpose? Why would anyone set picks? To help a teammate get open by slowing down a defender.

Should a pick always be for the person with the ball? NO

Remember you must be stationary, with a wide base and arms crossed (to protect one’s self), to legally set a pick. What happens if you try to set a pick while you are moving? : illegal

REBOUNDING Always assume that every shot will be missed.

Upon seeing a teammate or opponents release of the ball, you should break toward the basket and/or find the nearest opponent and box them out (“crash the boards”).

In class, we said boxing out was the act of turning our back to the opponent, sinking our hips, driving them away from the ball/basket, and keeping our arms wide.

Rebounding should not be done with one hand. You should use both hands

After boxing out and getting the , you should do what with the ball? Chin it

80% of the time, the team with the most rebounds wins the game.

SCORING Any shot made inside of the three line is worth = 2pts. Any shot made outside of the three point line is worth = 3 pts. A is worth = 1 pt

SHOOTING B-Balance (hips/feet/shoulders square to the basket) E-Eyes (on the rim/target) E-Elbow (under the ball in front of body) F-Follow-through (hand in cookie jar_

PASSING 5 types of passes = bounce, chest, lob, overhead, baseball. Most common are chest, bounce, lob.

Upon receiving a pass.. 1. Front basket 2. Get to triple threat 3. Do you have an open shot? (if yes and it is within your range take shot/if NO – see 4) 4. Is one of your teammates open with a higher percentage shot? (if yes, get them the ball/if NO – see 5) 5. Dribble to reposition for a shot or pass

DRIBBLING Use fingerpads. Wrist should flex and extend. You dribble at waist height, eyes up, to decrease the chances of the balling being stolen. Eyes up allows you to see defenders, as well as teammates, who may be open.
