​  The Rules and Objectives of Basketball  ​​In basketball you have 5 people on the floor for each team, which means there is 10 people on the floor at one time. Basketball is a team sport definetly. The main objective of the game is to score the most points. When one team is on offense then your team is guarding them which means you are on defense. If you get a little rough with the other team the referee will call a foul on you. You can only get 5 fouls in a game. When you get 5 fouls, you are fouled out and can't play the rest of the game. If you fight with somebody on the other team or the referee, they will call a technical foul on you. In a game you will either play with 4 quarters or 2 halfs. The amount of time in a game will just depend on the age group. There is 3 different amounts of points awarded just depending on the shot. If you shoot a free throw and hit it, you will be awarded 1 point. If you shoot a shot inside of the ark and hit it, you will be awarded 2 points. If you shoot a shot outside of the ark and hit it, you will be awarded 3 points. If both teams have a player on the ball, then the referees will call a jump ball and it will be given to the team with the possession arrow pointing towards them. When the ending buzzer sounds the game is over and who ever has the most points wins the game. The best thing about basketball is dunking the basketbal, if you can. Dunking a basketball is when you jump up and slam the ball through the hoop.
