Violations
There are many violations in basketball. All result in the opposition team being awarded the ball from the nearest out of bounds point.
Some basic violations and the referee’s signals are:
| Travelling
Players cannot run with the ball
|
| Double dribble
Once a player picks up their dribble they cannot restart it. Players can only dribble with one hand at a time
|
| Three Seconds
Offensive players can only be in the key for 3 seconds. This count restarts whenever a shot is attempted
|
| Backcourt
Once the ball crosses into the front half, the offensive team cannot return it to the back half
|
| Kicking
Players cannot intentionally strike the ball with their foot or leg
