Boxing Out: a player’s position between an opposing player and the basket to obtain a better rebounding position.
Dribbling: bouncing the ball with 1 hand using your fingertips instead of your palm while looking up and never down. (Crossover, pivot/spin move, left hand, right hand, etc…)
Passing: moving the ball by throwing, bouncing, and handing it to another player. (Chest pass, bounce pass, overhead pass….)
Pivoting: Stepping once or more in any direction with the same foot while holding the other foot at its initial point.
Rebounding: The recovering of a shot (after boxing out) that bounces off the backboard or the rim.
Left handed Lay-up: dribbling toward the rim at an angle on the left side, pick up the ball, step left then right and shoot with your left hand.
Right handed Lay-up: dribbling toward the rim at an angle on the right side, pick up the ball, step right then left and shoot with your right hand.

Violations: Results in a change of possession. (The other team gets the ball)
   Traveling: Moving illegally with the ball. (EX: Taking a step without dribbling)
   3 seconds: An offensive player remains in the key more than 3 seconds (free throw lane – the area under your basket)
