Introduction:

The technical fundamentals of basketball consist of the movements a basketball player acquires throughout training, which are basic because they constitute the pillar of the whole game. Following a strict project, there are four fundamentals: dribbling, passing, shooting, and defensive movements.

Aim:

To determine the set of exercises to help acquire the technical fundamentals of basketball in eighth-graders.

Materials and Methods:

This experimental study relied on a pre-experiment consisting of pre-test and post-test studies.

Results:

The main empirical methods applied were survey and measurement, through the specific motor skills test. The efficacy of the exercises suggested was checked through the Shapiro Wild normality test, and the Wilcoxon range test.

Conclusions:

As a result of the comparison of the three tests during the pre-test and post-test, the P-value < α=0.05 (asymptotic Sig. 0.01, 0.02, and 0.02), with significant differences between the number of errors made by the players after the application of the exercise system proposed.
