Basketball Gear

When it comes to ordering new basketball gear, you should most certainly make us a go-to. This is because we stock balls from the likes of Wilson, Midwest and Baden to suit every budget. However, along with investing in a basketball, there is a range of accessories which can be purchased to assist with the experience of your training session or match:

  • Scoreboard
  • Basketball team tabards
  • Specially designed shoes for basketball
  • Stopwatch to time the event
  • Well-fitting sports shorts

If you are taking part in a match at a certified venue, you will not need to invest in a scoreboard as such as these will be provided. However, if you are running friendly matches against your peers, a makeshift board will do. Along with this would be a stopwatch or some sort of time tracking device which can keep track of how long the game is running for.

For team tabards this could be specially designed jerseys with the team’s logo on the front. Or it could even be a similar top for each player of a side to ensure that you can differentiate against your team and the opposition when playing with friends.

Also, not a necessity for casual recreational games, but if you want to progress into a career of competitive basketball you would need to invest in suitable shoes. This is because the trainers made especially for basketball players are produced in a way which benefits the wearer and provides support where it is needed most during the game.

And finally, it is vital to ensure that your sportswear fits you well, as loose and ill-fitting garments could prove to be a hindrance while on the court. Therefore you should invest in quality apparel which fits you correctly.

Health Benefits of Basketball

Along with being a fun and engaging sport for all ages, basketball also poses a number of health benefits which makes it such a popular activity. So below we have listed the reasons why basketball is ideal for maintaining a healthier lifestyle. Therefore these bullet points should also be additional driving reasons why you should pick up a ball and get started today. From mental health to physical fitness, this activity is definitely something you should get involved with:

  • Great for weight loss
  • Increases stamina and endurance
  • Sculpts and tones muscles
  • Balance and coordination enhanced
  • Improved concentration
  • Introduces self-discipline
  • Fantastic social aspects

Although there are many positive effects of this sport on your body, it also has some negative impacts. This is because it is an intensive and demanding activity for your muscles and bones to cope with over time. Therefore the following should be considered before jumping onto the court:

  • Fast pace and increased movement which puts you at risk of injury
  • Intense stress put on the knees and ankles
  • Great strength and flexibility required
  • Warm-ups and regular stretches will help you avoid muscle injury

Taking into consideration all of the points above, if you are concerned about your current health status, you must take into account how intense this sport is on your body. It is also highly advised that you speak to your doctor before signing up to any training regimes as you may discover that the sport is not something which will benefit you.

How to Get Involved

As this game can be enjoyed recreationally or competitively, all ages can join in for a game or practice. Therefore, if you want to take up the sport, it is so easy. Most outdoor parks have purpose built basketball courts which you can use. However, you would need to bring your own ball for this as they are not usually supplied. Here you can go by yourself for a training session or you could gather a group of friends together and have a casual game against one another.

Also, at your local leisure centre you will find a covered court which can be used during all seasons to hone your basketball moves. You may also be able to sign up to regular training sessions guided by a skilled coach; this would have to be checked at the reception in the venue. These types of basketball training sessions are fantastic if your goal with the sport is to progress onto competitive matches. As you would eventually be able to try out for the local basketball team and play games alongside highly skilled individuals with the same motivation and drive to succeed as yourself.
