Basketball Players Jumping for a Layup at the Hoop

Two basketball players leap toward the hoop in the middle of a play. The player on the right is in the air with one arm stretched high, holding the ball in his hand near the top of the page. His other arm reaches out to the side, and his knees are bent as he rises. The defender in front of him, wearing a jersey with the number 3, jumps with one arm reaching up toward the rim and the other held out beside him. The backboard, rim and a loose, detailed net fill the top left corner. Behind the players you can see a brick-style wall and the lines of the court floor. This free printable could be fun for a team party. Let kids pick two team colors for the jerseys and shorts, then add the number 3 and the other player's number in a matching shade. The net and the ball have lots of small spaces, so fine markers or colored pencils work well.
