Note to Pupils:

Basic Skills In Basketball – Throwing & Catching

Throwing:
Throwing involves propelling the basketball accurately to a teammate or towards the basket. Emphasizing proper hand positioning, a player learns to control the force and direction of the throw. This skill is crucial for initiating offensive plays and passing the ball to team members strategically.

Catching:
Catching is the ability to receive the ball securely from a teammate or opponent. Players develop hand-eye coordination to track the ball’s movement and position their hands correctly to catch it. A strong catching skill contributes to maintaining possession, setting up plays, and reacting swiftly during the game.

Evaluation:
