Find your basketball trainer in Kingston (ON)

Basketball builds on seven core skills that every beginner should know.

• Ball handling: keeping control of the ball at different speeds and directions.
• Passing and catching: delivering the ball accurately to a teammate in the right spot.
• Shooting technique: aligning the elbow, wrist and follow-through for a consistent shot.
• Footwork, pivoting and defence: positioning the body to move, protect the ball and stop opponents.

Working with a coach helps you fix technique early, before habits become hard to change.

Basketball's very first rule dates back to 1891, when Dr. James Naismith wrote out the original thirteen rules of the game.

• The first rule allowed players to throw the ball in any direction, with one or both hands.
• At the time, dribbling did not exist yet, so passing was the only way to move the ball.
• It encouraged teamwork over individual play, as players could not carry the ball themselves.
• Modern rules like travelling and dribbling grew directly out of this original idea.

Understanding the game's history helps young players see why certain rules exist today.
