A player moves the ball up and down the court by bouncing it along the ground or "dribbling"the ball may be passed between players by throwing, bouncing, or rolling players may not run with or kick the ball, although pivoting on one foot is allowed.The game begins with the referee throwing the ball into the air and a player from each team jumping up to try and "tip" the ball to a team-mate. The length of the game and  the number of periods played varies at different levels.

There are amateur, professional, and international rules. No game ends in a draw.An extra period of five minutes is played, plus as many extra periods as are necessary to break the tie. In addition to the five players on court,each team has up to seven substitutes, but players may only leave the court with the permission of the referee. Basketball is a non-contact sport and fouls on other players are penalized by a throw-in awarded against the offending team, a free throw at the basket is awarded when a player is fouled in the act of shooting. Basketball is a fast-moving game, requiring both physical and mental coordination. skillful tactical play matters more than simple physical strength and the agility of the players makes the game an excellent spectator sport..
