What are the FOUR main fundamental skills in basketball?
- Passing
- Dribbling

Passing
What are the SEVEN TYPES of passing?
- Chest Pass
- Bounce Pass
- One-Hand Underhand Pass
- Shoulder Pass/one-handed push pass
- Baseball Pass or Lance Pass
- Overhead Pass
- Blind Pass
This is used to cover short distances. While also passing the ball to another player at chest level. And this type of pass is only applicable if there is no opponent between the player and his teammate.
Chest pass
It is very much the same with the chest pass, but instead of pushing the ball directly toward the player, the ball is thrown toward the floor letting it bounce before it reaches the receiver.
Bounce Pass
This pass uses the throwing pattern described in softball
One-Hand Underhand Pass
This pass utilized the overhand throwing pattern included in baseball.
Shoulder Pass /one-handed push pass
Is a long pass in which the passer throws the ball with one hand as if it were a baseball or a football. It is infrequently used, mainly to set up last-second plays off a baseline in bounding situation.
The baseball pass or lance pass
It is used by snapping the ball over the head, like a soccer throw-in. This pass is especially effective in helping to initiate a fast break
Overhead pass
Also known as a no-look pass, is performed when a player looks in one direction but passes the ball to his target in another direction.
Blind pass
This skill is used to move with the ball while inside the court. It is performed by pushing the ball toward the floor using left or right fingers.
Dribbling
What are the FOUR TYPES of dribbling skills?
- Cross-over dribble
- Between the legs
- Behind the back
- Rapid dribbling
The ball handler changes the ball from one hand to the other via a dribble. A fundamental dribbling technique in basketball used to keep the ball in the hand furthest from the defender (preventing a steal) while maintaining a desired speed and heading on the court.
Cross-over dribblie
This is a commonly used variation of the crossover in which the ball handler bounces the ball off of the floor between his legs and catches it with the other hand on the opposite side of his body.
Between the legs
This advanced dribbling technique involves dribbling the ball behind the back either once (as a form of crossover) or continuously.
Behind the back
This distinct type of dribbling can only be performed while the ball is low to the ground and with little bounce.
Rapid dribbling
Is an essential skill in basketball for a team to gain a point and win the game.
Shooting
What are the SIX TYPES of shooting in basketball?
- Set shot
- Lay-up
- Jump shot or Jumper
- Hook shot
- Fade away shot
- Slam dunk
It is done by bending the knees and hips with the player’s dominant foot slightly in front. (mostly done in free throw)
Set Shot
Is a two-point attempt made by leaping from below, laying the ball near the basket, and using one hand to tip the ball over the rim and into the basket (lay-in) or bank it off the backboard and into the basket
Lay-up
Is an attempt to score a basket by jumping, usually straight up, and in mid-jump, propelling the ball in an arc into the basket
Jump shot or Jumper
Is one of the most effective inside moves, but it is also quite difficult to execute. A hook shot begins when the player puts his body between the ball and the opponent
Hook shot
Is a variation on a set jump shot in which the shooter attempts his shot leaning backward, creating the effect of “fading away” from his defender. This makes it more difficult for the defender to contest the shot.
Fade away shot
Is a type of basketball shot that is performed when a player jumps in the air and manually powers the ball downward through the basket with one or both hands over the rim. This is considered a normal field goal attempt
Slam dunk
This skill is used to prevent the other team from scoring without committing a foul or a violation.
