When James Naismith created basketball he made rules to make the game fair.
1. The ball must be thrown with one or both hands
2. The ball can get batted in any direction but you cant bat it with a fist.
3. You cant walk or run with the ball you must remain in the same spot as where you caught the ball.
4. You have to hold the ball with your hands.
5. No pushing, shoving or aggressive movement toward a opponent.
6. A foul can be called when you strike at the ball with your fist.
7. The amount of fouls will be counted.
8. The a goal will be counted when the team can get the ball in the basket.
9. When the ball goes out the last person to touch it will have to give the ball to the other team where the ball went out.
10. The umpire is the judge of the game and can call fouls or disqualify any players not playing fair.
11. The umpire is the judge of where the ball goes in or out of bounds, points for both teams, also the time left in the game.
12. The time will be 15 minute for the two quarters and 5 minutes between quarters.
13. The side with the most points shall be the winner of the match.
