THE BOOK
Basketball is the fastest team sport and has lots of action. Skillful handling of the ball and good team play with your friends make for lots of fun and many points. In addition to playing with your friends you work hard on basic techniques like passing, catching, dribbling, smart ways to get open, and of course making baskets.

With this book we would like to accompany you as you practice and play. Here you can take your time looking up throws, dribbling, passing and much more. We provide important information on fitness, demonstrate how to execute basic techniques, show you possible mistakes and offer ideas for exercises and games you can do at home.

The little panther will accompany you throughout the book. He is pretty clever and knows a lot about basketball. In the book he tells you lots about the sport of basketball, offers tips on clothing, rules, as well as a healthy lifestyle. And in this book you will find lots of opportunities for recording and filling in information, drawing and doing brainteasers. Have fun!
