Term
Basketball
Definition
1) Passing – 3 types

a. Chest – “step and push”, step towards teammate and push ball with 2 hands from your chest to your teammates

b. Bounce – “step and push”, step towards teammate and push ball with 2 hands from your chest to the gym floor so it bounces closer to your teammate than yourself

c. Outlet – overhead, baseball or football throw – used to move the ball up the court quickly. Can be done with one or two hands. One hand throw simulates throwing style of a football quarterback or baseball player.

2) BEEF

a. Balance – body is facing target (basket) and feet are on floor and pointed in same direction (feet are “set”)

b. Elbow – shooting (dominant) hand/arms elbow is in near body so you’re holding the ball like a waiter holds a tray. Guide hand then holds side of the ball.

c. Eyes – can see basket. Ball is not directly in front of eyes

d. Follow Through – Knees go from bent to straight and at the same time, the guide hand releases before the shooting arm is fully extended. Snap your wrist down so fingers point to the ground (wave good-bye to the ball)

3) Dribbling

a. Fingertips – make hands big and push ball directly down to the ground with your fingertips

b. Waist High – with knees bent, push ball down and dribble again at waist height

c. Eyes – should be looking up to see: basket, teammates and defense
