Basketball is a sport where two teams of five players each try to score points on their respective hoops. It is one of the most popular sports in the world today. The most essential elements in basketball are the ball itself and a flat-surfaced rectangular court with baskets at opposite ends. Of course, this sport will not be as fun to play without other basketball equipment.

For competitions, the use of clocks, score sheets and scoreboards is indispensable. Gyms must also have the other necessary items such as backboards, hoops, and nets in well-maintained condition. Teams must also keep on hand other basketball paraphernalia like ball inflating needles, sport eye guards, dribble gloves, basketball caddy, etc. to ensure better and safe plays.
