How to Improve Your Basketball Skills : How to Make a Behind the Back Lay-up in Basketball

Street basketball players generally range in age from age 5 to 65. Children start playing the sport at a kindergarten level at some schools. And unlike professional basketball, a person's life as a street baller may span decades because the game requires little training and is played for fun. Street basketball also does not involve a rigorous schedule; participants may play ten games in one day or one game in ten days. Usually only one side of the court is used, but otherwise the rules of the game are very similar to those of professional basketball. The number of participants in a game, or a run, may range from two - one defender and one attacker (known as one on one or mano-a-mano) - to two full teams of five each.
