Basically, basketball is made out of
two teams, the offensive team, made out of five players, that are moving the
ball down the court either by dribbling or passing in order for them to make
score points by shooting the ball trough the basket, and of course the
defensive team, which is also composed of five players, they must do their best
at stopping the offense team. Both teams must score as much points as possible
within the time limits of the game.

In most junior leagues, the time
limits are the following: four quarters, six minutes each, with the halftime
separating the two quarters from the last two. In the case that the game is
tied at the end of the time of the fourth quarter, you enter the overtime
period, which is a three minute short season to determine the winners.
Depending on your coaching abilities
you can either choose to have a defensive or an offensive team. Depending on
what kind of drills you practice, and what is your knowledge or experience that
you might have regarding basketball. Either way you can even find a balance
between these two types of teams, in order for you to have an all balanced
team, and for your kids basketball skills to improve in a nice and balanced
manner. It is only up to you to choose the style of your team plays, according
to your goals and your knowledge about the other teams that you will be playing
in your league. Doing your homework is the key to a good basketball season and
a nice trophy.
