Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The
objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter and 10 feet (3.048 m)
high mounted to a backboard at each end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and
widely viewed sports. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the most popular and widely
considered to be the highest level of professional basketball in the world and NBA players are the
world's best paid sportsmen, by average annual salary per player.
Original rules
In January 15, 1892, James Naismith published his rules for the game of "Basket Ball" that he invented:[1] The
original game played under these rules was quite different from the one played today as there was no
dribbling, dunking, three-pointers, or shot clock, and goal tending was legal.
1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.
2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands.
3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it,
allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball when running at a good speed if he tries to stop.
4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it.
5. No shouldering, holding, striking, pushing, or tripping in any way of an opponent. The first infringement
of this rule by any person shall count as a foul; the second shall disqualify him until the next basket is
made or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game. No substitution
shall be allowed.
6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of rules three and four and such described in rule five.
7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents (consecutive means
without the opponents in the mean time making a foul).
8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there
(without falling), providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on
the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal.
9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play and played by the first person
touching it. In case of dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed
five seconds. If he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game,
the umpire shall call a foul on that side.
10.The umpire shall be the judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three
consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify people according to Rule 5.
11. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side
it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made and keep account of
the baskets, with any other duties that are usually performed by a scorekeeper.
12.The time shall be two fifteen-minute halves, with five minutes rest between.
13.The side making the most points in that time is declared the winner.
VIOLATIONS
Walking/Traveling. Taking more than 'a step and a half' without dribbling the ball is traveling.
Moving your pivot foot once you've stopped dribbling is traveling.
Carrying/palming. When a player dribbles the ball with his hand too far to the side of or,
sometimes, even under the ball.
Double Dribble. Dribbling the ball with both hands on the ball at the same time or picking up
the dribble and then dribbling again is a double dribble.
Held ball. Occasionally, two or more opposing players will gain possession of the ball at the
same time. In order to avoid a prolonged and/or violent tussle, the referee stops the action and
awards the ball to one team or the other on a rotating basis.
Goaltending. If a defensive player interferes with a shot while it's on the way down toward the
basket, while it's on the way up toward the basket after having touched the backboard, or while
it's in the cylinder above the rim, it's goaltending and the shot counts. If committed by an
offensive player, it's a violation and the ball is awarded to the opposing team for a throw-in.
Backcourt violation. Once the offense has brought the ball across the mid-court line, they
cannot go back across the line during possession. If they do, the ball is awarded to the other
team to pass inbounds.
Time restrictions. A player passing the ball inbounds has five seconds to pass the ball. If he
does not, then the ball is awarded to the other team. Other time restrictions include the rule that
a player cannot have the ball for more than five seconds when being closely guarded and, in
some states and levels, shot-clock restrictions requiring a team to attempt a shot within a given
time frame.
Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to
score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.[1] It has been a part of the
official program of the Summer Olympic Gamessince 1964.
Very Basic Volleyball Rules

to perform the jump behind the attack line (10 feet line, 3 meter line).
o IMPORTANT! The ball has to be completely above the net for it to be an
illegal attack
Antennas:
It is ALLOWED to play the ball off the net. It is a fault, if the ball contacts net
outside antennas.
The ball has to travel between the antennas (or the imagined extensions of
them) when flying to the other side of the net.
In or Out?
Referee calls the ball IN, if any part of it hits the lines. (Imagine the ball is
painted. If the ball left a mark that touches the lines, the ball is judged IN)
Ball is ruled OUT, if
o the ball lands outside the boundary lines (without touching the
opponent)
o The ball hits the antenna
o any of the net or cables outside the antennas
o a referee stand or poles or the ceiling (EXPECTION: in high school, club

the ceiling)
Contacting the Ball:
Players are NOT allowed to catch, hold or throw the ball.
Players are NOT allowed to hit or block the opponents serve.
Attacking ball which is coming over the net is ILLEGAL, if it has NOT broken
the plane of the net.
In other words the player is ALLOWED to swing the ball when it breaks the
plane of the net.
Very Basic Volleyball Rules Violations

Dominoes (or dominos) is a game played with rectangular "domino" tiles. The
domino gaming pieces make up a domino set, sometimes called a deck or pack.
The traditional Sino-European domino set consists of 28 dominoes, colloquially
nicknamed bones,cards, tiles, tickets, stones, or spinners. Each domino is a
rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is
marked with a number of spots (also called pips, nips, or dobs) or is blank. The
backs of the dominoes in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some
common design. A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing
cards ordice, in that a variety of games can be played with a set.
