Basketball


I'm writing about basketball since the season is going to be starting soon. The rules of basketball are to score baskets for your using an orange coloured ball. There are five players from each team on the court at a time. The different positions are post or center, guards and forwards. The post usually takes the jump ball at the beginning of the game. After the opposing team scores the ball usually gets passed in to the guard who brings it up the court. The two forwards then run out to different sides and get open for a pass and try and score. When you get a basket it counts as two points. If you get fouled you get to take a foul shot and each basket you get there counts as one point. There is a semi circle around each of the baskets, if you shoot from outside of it and it goes in it counts as three points. The game has either 2 halves or 4 quarters.
