Basketball is a team sport. Two teams of five
players each try to score by shooting a ball
through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the
ground. The game is played on a rectangular
floor called the court, and there is a hoop at
each end. The court is divided into two main
sections by the mid-court line. If the offensive
team puts the ball into play behind the mid-court
line, it has ten seconds to get the ball over the
mid-court line. If it doesn't, then the defense
gets the ball. Once the offensive team gets the
ball over the mid-court line, it can no longer have
possession of the ball in the area in back of the
line. If it does, the defense is awarded the ball.
