  Basketball is a fast-paced, dynamic game that combines athleticism, skill, and strategy. Understanding the fundamentals is key to becoming proficient on the court, whether you are a beginner or an experienced player. This chapter will introduce the basic concepts of the game, from the layout of the court to the different player positions and essential rules. 
  The first step in mastering basketball is understanding the court layout. The basketball court is a rectangular surface, typically 94 feet long and 50 feet wide, with a hoop at each end. The court is divided into two main sections: the frontcourt, where the offensive team plays, and the backcourt, where the defensive team operates. Key markings on the court include the three-point arc, free-throw line, and the key area, also known as the paint, which is crucial for both offense and defense. 
  Next, it’s important to know the different player positions. There are five main positions on the basketball court: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. Each position plays a unique role depending on their strengths and the team’s strategy. The point guard is typically the team’s primary ball handler, responsible for directing the offense and distributing the ball. The shooting guard focuses on scoring, especially through perimeter shots. The small forward is versatile, able to score, defend, and contribute in various aspects of the game. The power forward is often a physical presence in the paint, both offensively and defensively, while the center usually plays near the basket, focusing on rebounding and shot-blocking.

  More Than a Game - The GAA and...

  The GAA has always been about more than sport. It's the pulse of Irish communities – a shared language of identity, belonging and pride. But today, as the Association finds itself at a crossroads, urgent questions arise.
  Is the GAA still a grassroots, amateur movement? Or has it become a machine for elite competition, real estate development and media influence?
  Acclaimed journalist Michael Moynihan exposes the real forces reshaping the GAA, from under-the-table payments and controversial stadium deals to fixture chaos and the impact of pop concerts. Thoughtful and unflinching, he reveals an organisation grappling with its identity and why the outcome matters to every parish, player and supporter in Ireland.
  'Michael is rooted in the GAA but never bound by it. He sees our games and Association through a unique and unflinching lens. For anyone who loves the GAA and Irish sport, this book is essential reading.' Donal Óg Cusack
  'No one writes about the GAA like Michael Moynihan.' Pat Spillane

No, I wake and look to another win in a busy life.'
