Basketball is like a fun game of catch but with a big, bouncy orange ball. You and your friends try to bounce this ball on the ground and pass it to each other. The goal is to throw the ball into a big hoop with a net hanging from it. It’s like trying to get the ball into a basket that’s really high up!
Think of it as a race where two teams want to score the most points. Each team has five players who work together like a team of superheroes, passing the ball and helping each other. When someone throws the ball into the hoop, it’s called a basket and the team gets points. The more baskets you make, the more points you get.
Imagine the court as a big playground. There’s a part called the key which is like a special zone where players try to defend their hoop and stop the other team from scoring. It’s like playing tag, where you try to keep the other team from catching your ball and scoring. Everyone has to be quick and smart to win the game!
