VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- It's time to dust off your basketball shoes and get on the court: intramural basketball season is here.

As with all intramural sports, intramural basketball is open to all skill levels. It's just a matter of getting out there and building esprit de corps with fellow servicemembers. However, if you'd like to improve your game, and maybe show-up your rivals on the court, the 30th Space Wing Public Affairs staff is offering up a "how-to" series on basic b-ball action.

This week, check out the photos to see how to improve your defensive skills on the court.
