The basketball court

Pay attention to some basic rules you should know:

• Walking/Traveling. Taking more than 'a step and a half' without dribbling the ball is traveling. Moving your pivot foot once you've stopped dribbling is traveling.

• Double Dribble. Dribbling the ball with both hands on the ball at the same time or picking up the dribble and then dribbling again is a double dribble.

• Carrying/palming. When a player dribbles the ball with his hand too far to the side of or, sometimes, even under the ball.

• Held ball. Occasionally, two or more opposing players will gain possession of the ball at the same time. In order to avoid a prolonged and/or violent tussle, the referee stops the action and awards the ball to one team or the other on a rotating basis.

• Backcourt. Once the offense has brought the ball across the mid-court line, they cannot go back across the line during possession. If they do, the ball is awarded to the other team to pass inbounds.

Todos Olímpicos

El deporte conduce al desarrollo de valores tales como igualdad, respeto, superación, constancia, esfuerzo, los cuales tienen su máximo expresión en los Juegos Olímpicos.

Por ello el Departamento de Educación Física del Colegio Bernadette, junto con el Comité Olímpico Español, quiere dar a conocerlos a conocer entre el alumnado del centro.

El lunes 11 de abril se realizará una actividad con los niños y las niñas de 5º y 6º que contará con dos partes:

• Valores Olímpicos: presentación didáctica realizada por deportistas olímpicos que hará un recorrido por los diferentes aspectos del Movimiento Olímpico. 
• Vivencia práctica: en esta parte se acercará al alumnado diferentes materiales utilizados en la alta competición, generando una interacción entre los deportistas y los estudiantes. 

¿Estáis preparados y preparadas para un lunes Olímpico?
