The general sign for GYM looks like a cross between lifting weights an jumping rope. The position of the hands are up near the shoulders. That handshape is a modified “X.” The thumb is pressed up against the bent index finger as if holding a rope.
To sign “skate,” form your hands into “bent V” handshapes. Then put them in front of you, palms facing up. Alternate moving them forward and back a couple times. Memory tip: Think of the movement of a skater’s feet.
To say no, take your first two fingers and tap them with your thumb, resembling a mouth saying no.
If you mean “miss” as in the opposite of “catch” then use the version of “miss” that starts with a splayed 5-hand to the side/front of the head that moves across/in-front-of your face and ends up in an “S”-handshape.
The sign for “still” (as in “continue to do or be) uses palm-down “Y” hands. Start near your body. Move the hands in a smooth arch forward and down and then back up again. See: “He is still teaching but he is off for the summer.”
To sign basketball, take both hands with palms wide open and imagine you are holding a basketball. Then pivot both hands back and forth simultaneously, as if you are twisting a basketball as a warm-up exercise right before dribbling it.
