When you play basketball there are a few basic things that are needed. One of course is a basketball, like the one pictured to the left. When a girl plays they usually use a 28.5 sized ball and boys usually use a 29.5 sized ball. |

When you played basketball you should wear a good pair of shoes, and by good I mean sturdy and well made. Your basketball shoes should supply you with good sense of balance, ankle support and good padding. In basketball you can easily sprain or break your ankle with all of the running action going on. So when you go out to buy your new basketball shoes, just make sure they are "basketball" shoes and not running shoes or any other athletic shoe.

Another basic thing you need if a basketball hoop, of course. The basketball hoop is usually10 feet from the ground, the steel rim is 18 inches in diameter, and the backboard is usually 4 feet by 6 feet. The backboard is usually made out of wood or plexiglass. |
