Abstract
This study considers the universal values of basketball as involving the attainment of skills and functional/affective aspects of the sport. Furthermore, absolute evaluation standards for junior high school boys were established. More specifically, personal skills, groups skills, and the understanding of tactics, were measured for first and third grade junior high school boys. The evaluation standards could be developed on the basis of the results of this research. Consequently, it was considered that the following nine aspects should be considered carefully in evaluating junior high schoolboys' basketball skills and their enjoyment of playing basketball: the number of successes at the lay-up shot; the number of successes at a one-hand shot; the score for dribbling; the attack-completion rate; the rate of success at shots; the rate of creation of swift attacks; the rate of combination shots; and the understanding of tactics.
