- Step 1: Start with a basketball and a basketball hoop.
- Step 2: Dribble the basketball for the desired amount of times make sure that you are staying balanced on your feet, keeping your eyes up, and being in athletic position.
- Step 3: After you pick the ball up you have the option of shooting or passing to a teammate. When shooting the ball bend at the knees, jump straight up in the air, and hold your follow through as you shoot.
- Step 4: Once you stop your dribble you are only allowed to take 2 steps before you must pass or shoot.
- Step 5: If you are playing by yourself, shoot the ball at the hoop and then go run down your rebound and reset to another spot on the floor to shoot the ball.
- Step 6: If you are playing against an opponent, try to make the ball in the hoop but if you miss or lose the ball then you become the defender and have to guard your opponent.
- Step 7: When playing defense make sure that you bend your knees to a 90 degree angle, slide your feet, and be ready to move either direction.
- Step 8: Guard your man till you either steal the ball, they score, or your rebound their miss. When going to rebound box your man out and then go jump your highest and grab the rebound.
- Step 9: The goal of the game is to keep your man or the other team from scoring and to score as many points as you can. If shooting by yourself make your goal to see how many shots you can make.
