Basketball
Have you ever thought about becoming a basketball player? You should definitely consider it! It is my favorite sport ever and I could probably play it all day if I had the chance. In basketball, you need to know these five main skills: Shooting, Rebounds, Defensive slide, Dribbling, and travels/double dribbling/fouling. It’s really not that hard when you actually put some work in and try your best. In the next five paragraphs, I will be going into deeper and further understanding of all of those five topics I mentioned above.
The first thing that we will be learning is traveling, double dribbling, and fouling. These are all things that you are not allowed to do during a basketball game, if you haven’t noticed. Let’s get started …show more content…

Your left hand will come off on the follow through, which is the part where you flick your right hand. For left handers, you will just do the opposite things that it says. You also want to have good arch on your shot and want to aim for the front of the rim. To have good arch, just simply means that you want your shot to look like a rainbow. The rainbow starts in your hand and goes up and ends in the basket. There is also another shot to learn. That shot is called a bank shot. A bank shot it when you shoot the ball and it hits the backboard. Once it hits the backboard, it will bounce off and land right in the basket. This kind of shot is tricky to learn, but once you have it down, it is very useful to use in games and
