The playing floor is divided into two zones at mid- court, and the forwards must stay in the forwards' zone, and the guards must stay in the guards' zone. The game consists of four quarters of not more than eight minutes each, with a ten minute rest between the second and third quarters. The maximum size of a regu- lation court is 50 feet by 94 feet. The minimum court size is 74 feet by 42 feet. Some of the skills necessary for a good player in basketball are: footwork, pass- ing, shooting, and dribbling, The ball may be passed in any one of several ways: C15 the under-hand pass, T25 the overhead pass, C3l the chest pass, using either one or both handsg and C41 the bounce pass.
