8 BFC BONUS #2 8 "LOCKDOWN" DRIBBLING WORKOUTS Introduction W E L C O M E ! Here we have 8 ball-handling/dribbling workouts. All workouts should be performed in a “30 seconds on, 10 seconds off” format. Example: Crossover dribbles in front of the body for 30 seconds, then a 10 second break before starting on the next exercise. There are two categories: 1.Stationary Ball-Handling Workout 2.Limited-Room Dribbling Workout The four workouts in the “stationary” category only require a basketball and a small 3x3 area. While the four workouts in the “limited room” category are for players who have access to an area similar to a driveway, which allow players to take 4 - 5 hard dribbles in one direction. To increase or decrease the difficulty, you have several options: a.Increase / decrease the time spent on each exercise (45 seconds on, 15 seconds off). b.Complete multiple workouts in one session.

Like many rookie and veteran coaches, you probably have had little formal instruction on how to coach. But when the call went out for coaches to assist with the local youth basketball program, you answered because you like children and enjoy basketball, and perhaps because you wanted to be involved in a worthwhile community activity. Your initial coaching assignment may be difficult. Like many volunteers, you may not know everything there is to know about basketball or about how to work with children. Coaching Youth Basketball will help you learn the basics of coaching basketball effectively. To start, let's take a look at what's involved in being a coach.

    25 Misunderstood Rules in High School Basketball 1. There is no 3-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound, at which time a new count starts. 2. A player can go out of bounds, and return inbounds and be the first to touch the ball l! Comment: This is not the NFL. You can be the first to touch a ball if you were out of bounds. 3. There is no such thing as “over the back”. There must be contact resulting in advantage/disadvantage. Do not put a tall player at a disadvantage merely for being tall 4. “Reaching” is not a foul. There must be contact and the player with the ball must have been placed at a disadvantage. 5. A player can always recover his/her fumbled ball; a fumble is not a dribble, and any steps taken during recovery are not traveling, regardless of progress made and/or advantage gained! (Running while fumbling is not traveling!) Comment: You can fumble a pass, recover it and legally begin a dribble. This is not a double dribble. If the player bats the ball to the floor in a controlling fashion, picks the ball up, then begins to dribble, you now have a violation. 6. It is not possible for a player to travel while dribbling. 7. A high dribble is always legal provided the dribbler’s hand stays on top of the ball, and the ball does not come to rest in the dribblers’ hand. Comment: The key is whether or not the ball is at rest in the hand.

    SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS Squash Team Finishes as National Runner-up Although the Yellowjackets came heart- breakingly short of claiming their first squash national championship, the 2015– 16 season was marked by historic mile- stones in arguably the best season ever for the program. At the top of the list was a victory over defending national champion Trinity Col- lege in the semifinals of the College Squash Association’s Potter Cup. That win knocked Trinity out of the ti- tle game for the first time in 19 years and guaranteed that the Yellowjackets would finish above their previous national best of third in 2009. In the championship match against Yale University, the Yellowjackets battled from behind to force a 4–4 tie with only one point left to be decided. In the final set, Tomotaka Endo ’18 lost to Yale’s Kah Wah Cheong, sending the championship to New Haven.

  • Basketball Rules
    Basketball Rules 1. Each team consists of five players. Basketball is played by two teams. The purpose of each team is to throw the ball into it’s own basket and to prevent the other team from scoring. 2. A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and passes through. A goal from the field counts 2 points for the team into whose basket the ball is thrown. A goal from a free throw attempt is credited to the thrower and counts 1 point for his or her team. A goal made from beyond the 3-point arc counts 3 points . 3. Jump Ball – This play takes place in the center of the court to start the game. The referee tosses the ball up between two opposing players. Players try to out-jump each other and tap the ball to a teammate. 4. Violation – Minor rule infraction such as: • Traveling – taking more than one step before passing or dribbling the ball. • Stepping out of bounds. • Throwing the ball out of bounds. • Double Dribble – dribbling, stopping the dribble, and starting the dribble again; dribbling the ball with both hands for more than one dribble. • 3 Seconds – offensive player with or without the ball may not be in the lane for more than 3 seconds. • Over and Back – once the ball has crossed over the center line, the offense may not go back over it. • Palming the Ball – permitting the ball to come to rest in one hand while dribbling. * On a violation the other team gains possession of the ball on the sideline or baseline.

  • 2Nd Grade Practice Game Concepts and Drills
    2nd Grade Practice Game Concepts and Drills You should be cycling through these various game concepts and drills at every practice. Through repetition and consistency, the kids will learn how to play the game of basketball, properly shoot the ball, shoot a lay-up, pass, and dribble. At this age, they don’t need much variety. Keep things simple and repetitive, so they can build good habits. Refer to the Basketball Skills Progression Document to see the correct form on dribbling, passing, shooting, lay-ups, footwork, and game concepts. Pick one drill from each of the following categories for each practice: • Game Concepts/Scrimmaging • Passing • Dribbling • Lay-ups If there’s time, there are other drills that you can do, listed at the bottom. Dribbling, lay-ups, passing, and some kind of scrimmage or game play should be all done at every practice. Game Concepts Yes, this seems very basic, but we are laying the groundwork for these kids becoming good basketball players. There is no sense in teaching them about any fundamentals if they don’t understand how the game works at a basic level. You may need to take a few minutes at each practice to remind the kids about basketball game concepts. • OFFENSIVE CONCEPTS o At this level on offense, we really want the kids to learn: ! Quick passes ! Go directly to the lane with your dribble. ! Don’t force a shot if it isn’t there. ! Try to work the ball around and get a shot in and around the lane. ! Minimize the fast breaks and focus on running a disciplined offense.

  • Proper Inflation of a Basketball by Josephine Corcoran and Ralph Rackstraw Revised by Alan Stockton for Astronomy 110 Abstract T
    Proper Inflation of a Basketball by Josephine Corcoran and Ralph Rackstraw Revised by Alan Stockton for Astronomy 110 Abstract This paper describes an experiment to determine how to correctly inflate a basketball using a hand pump. A basketball is correctly inflated when it rebounds to approximately 60% of the height from which it is dropped. In this experiment, the basketball's rebound height is measured as a function of the number of strokes of the pump used to inflate it. We find that for the pump used in this experiment, 12 strokes gives the correct pressure in the basketball. We discuss the effects that the air temperature and the material from which the ball is made have on the accuracy of our results. Introduction Basketball is a game that relies on the skill of dribblingthat is, walking or running while bouncing the basketball on the floor. To play the game most effectively, players need to be able to rely on the rebounding of the ball off the floor as they move with it around the court. The "springiness" of the ball also affects shots that rebound off the backboard. The amount that the ball rebounds depends on how much air is used to inflate it. A ball with too little air is flat and difficult to dribble. A ball with too much air is too lively and more difficult to control when dribbling and shooting. Inflating a basketball with the correct amount of air is important to being able to play the game well. According to international basketball rules, a basketball is properly inflated "such that when it is dropped onto the playing surface from a height of about 1.80 m measured from the bottom of the ball, it will rebound to a height, measured to the top of the ball, of not less than about 1.2 m nor more than about 1.4 m” (Fédération Internationale de Basketball 1998).
