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

• Ball handling: keeping control of the ball at different speeds and directions.
• Passing: moving the ball quickly and safely between players.
• Shooting and layups: using proper form, follow-through and footwork to score.
• Defence and rebounding: staying low, tracking the ball and boxing out for position.

A personalized lesson lets you focus on the skills you find hardest to master.

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.
• Since dribbling had not been invented, players relied entirely on passing to advance the ball.
• This rule kept the game fast and team-focused, since no one could run with the ball.
• Today's dribbling and travelling rules trace their roots back to this first rule.

A coach who knows the game's origins can make the rules easier to remember and apply.
