What Is the Basketball Used For?
In a PE lesson the basketball is used for stationary and moving dribbling drills, chest and bounce passes, lay-ups and set shots, followed by small-sided or full-court games. School teams use the same ball for practice and inter-house or inter-school matches, so pupils train with the full-size ball they will play with.
The rubber casing is made for outdoor courts and playgrounds, where it copes better with rough surfaces than an indoor-only ball, and the nylon-wound bladder helps it keep a round shape and a consistent bounce. Inflate it to the pressure printed on the ball, test the bounce before the lesson, and store the balls in a rack or bag rather than on a damp floor.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of balls – dribbling drills need one ball per pupil or pair, while a match needs only one.
- Whether you need a pump, because the balls arrive deflated with needles.
- Any team bibs or whistles to be added to the same quotation.
