    The following are the most important basketball fundamentals, in no specific order:

    1. Dribbling

    Every position on a basketball team, from centers to point guards, needs to understand ball
    handling in order to be effective offensive players. Regular dribbling drills will teach them
    basic dribble moves: how to dribble with their head up, crossover, use their left hand and
    right hand with equal dexterity, or pass a ball from one hand to the other. Once players
    understand dribbling, they can use those skills to control the ball, especially during tricky
    strategic moves like the pick and roll.
    2. Shooting

    Learning to shoot is also an important fundamental skill. Scoring a field goal by shooting
    a basket helps to win games, but without the right shooting technique, players have no
    control over their shots. Through shooting drills, players learn hand placement, proper
    stance, and long-distance shooting from half-court or the free throw line.
    3. Defense

    Players must understand how to defend against an opponent in a one-on-one situation, or


    man-to-man defense. Defensive drills teach the proper defensive stance, and how to defend
    in half-court and full-court games, as well as how to defend in perimeter situations along
    the sidelines and in close quarters with post players (those near the baseline). More
    advanced drills teach zone defense, in which players cover a specific area of the court.
    4. Rebounding

    Rebounding drills teach the two types of rebounding: offensive rebounding, in which an
    offense player grabs a missed field goal attempt by their own team, and defensive
    rebounding, in which a defensive player grabs a missed field goal by an offensive player.
    Players need to know how to use their bodies to box out an opponent and prevent rebounds,
    as well as the ability to grab a rebound and run to the other end of the court in a fast break.
    5. Passing
    Passing is more than throwing a ball to a teammate. It requires decision-making skills, a
    keen understanding of the many kinds of passes, and the spacing required to make an
    effective pass. Passing drills teach the fundamentals of partner passing, from chest passes
    to bounce passes.

    6. Jumping

    Jumping fundamentals include the skills to carry out any number of jump shots, including
    layups, slam dunks, and three-pointers. They also include the proper technique to step and
    land on both feet for a jump stop and help players decide when to use two feet or a left-
    foot-right-foot step for a jump shot.
