The main objective of basketball is to score more points than the opposing team by shooting the ball through the opponent’s hoop, while also preventing the opponent from scoring. Each team works together using skills like passing, dribbling, and shooting to gain an advantage and win the game.
General Rules:
5 players per team on the court.
Dribbling is required to move with the ball.
Traveling (moving without dribbling), double dribble, and backcourt violation are common violations.
Personal fouls are given for illegal contact.
Substitutions can happen during stoppage in play.
