Roy VeldmanDoctors orders - keep fit exercises.
Just popped out of sickbay for my Starfleet physical, and the Doctor that saw me shouted at me a bit for being out of shape. She recommended that I start doing some excercise, and I thought that there's no better place than in the holodeck. It's time to get cardiovascular.
Oh and before anyone says that this isn't a mission, it is Starfleet Protocol - for its members to be in physical shape.
<ooc> Oh, and also just trying to get a few more people posting in the quiet months. :-) </ooc>
Computer, give me a basket ball court.
*Please specify.*
Basic. Court, some benches, refreshment table, hoops. External venue. Chain fence around perimeter, one door - just in front of the arch.
*Program complete. You may enter when ready.*
This is what i'm talking 'bout.
Ensign Kynes enters the holodeck in shorts and a t-shirt, showing off some very white limbs. He runs about a bit, and takes up a position in line of the door. The holodeck doors open and a figure walks through the arch.
Ah, morning. See there's someone else interested in avoiding the wrath of Dr. C'kaan. Catch.
Bounces the ball to the figure taking position on court.

Well, Well Mr Kynes, what a surprise seeing you here
Ok so how does this Basket Ball game work then? I play an old earth sport called Rugby which is quite physical. I find it useful for a security officer (don't tell anyone, but you get to hit and hurt people whilst you play, and the Klingons love it!).
So what do I do with this ball then?

I'm not too up on the 20th century rules, but I believe that one bounces the ball, but not using two hands. The aim of the game is to shoot this ball into a 'loop', one for each team, not unlike rugby. The way I play it, there's just as much hitting and pushing.

SKILLS:
* 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 so that it rebounds back to yourself (the only legal way to move with the ball)

* 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 that bounces off the backboard or the rim.
FOULS: results in one or more free throws awarded to the opposing team
* Blocking- impeding the progress of an opponent by extending one or both arms horizontally or getting in the path of a moving player.
* Charging- running into a stationary player while you are moving with the ball.
* Hacking- the player hits the arm or hand of the person holding the ball.
* Holding- the player holds the person with or without the ball.
VIOLATIONS: results in a change of possession with the team in bounding the ball at the side line opposite where the infringement took place
* Traveling- moving illegally with the ball
* Three seconds- an offensive player remains in the key (free throw lane- the area under the basket) for more than 3 seconds
* Double dribble- a player dribbles the ball with both hands at the same time or they stop and then start dribbling again
TERMS:

* Assist- a pass to a teammate who then scores a field goal.
* Defense- team trying to stop the other team from scoring
* Dunk- to throw the ball down into the basket with the hand above the level of the rim
* Fast break- dribbling or passing the ball towards your basket before the defense can set up
* Man-to-man- a defensive strategy where everyone guards an assigned player

* Turn over- any loss of the ball without a shot being taken
