Results: The assessment of basketball skills among male students in Secondary 2 in Henan Province for the 2023 academic year showed high proficiency. For dribbling in a zigzag, the mean was 25.99 with an SD of 1.63; for shooting a goal quickly, it was 15.10 with an SD of 1.79; and for receiving the ball against the wall, it was 13.39 with an SD of 1.58. For female students, a mean below 17.3 is considered a very high level (T score of 35), while a mean above 24.63 is considered a very low level (T score of 55 or more).
