THE HISTORY
THE HISTORY
Basketball began with its invention in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts, by
Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith. Naismith was a 31-year-
old graduate student when he created the indoor sport to keep athletes indoors
during the winters. Dr. James A. Naismith conceived the idea of attaching peach
baskets at opposite ends of the gym on the track that encircled the playing floor.
This is where the height of 10 feet for the basket was arrived at. Basketball
derives its name from the original ball and basket used in the first games. The
game was introduced in YMCA’s across America and also to foreign countries.
Basketball became part of the Olympic Games in 1936. The game became
established fairly quickly and grew very popular as the 20th century progressed,
first in America and then in other parts of the world.
02 THE NATURE
Nature of the game
Basketball is played by two teams of five players each. The object of the game is
to score more points than your opponent. The ball is passed, thrown, bounced,
batted, or rolled from one player to another. A player in possession of the ball
must maintain contact with the floor with one foot (pivot foot), unless the player is
shooting, passing, or dribbling. Physical contact with an opponent can result in a
foul if the contact impedes the desired movement of the player.

Rules
Basic Rules
1. Players: Five players per team on the floor at a time with unlimited substitutions. Usually
players fill the standard positions of 2 forwards, 2 guards, and 1 center. The names of
these may be changed depending on the offense played.
2. Offense: Team or individual patterns of play that are used to get the ball into scoring
position. There are two basic types of offensive attacks: the slow deliberate attack and
the fast break attack.
3. Defense: Players may choose to play either a man to man defense (person to person) or
zone. In man to man each player is assigned a specific person to guard/play defense on.
In a zone defense, players are assigned a specified area to guard. The object of defense
is to try to take the ball away from your person or the person in your assigned zone
area to force them to turn over the ball, or force them to take a low percentage shot.
4. Scoring: Field Goals = 2 or 3 points. Free Throws = 1 point.
5. Timeouts: Timeouts are one minute or 30 seconds in length and can be requested during
a dead ball or anytime by the team in possession of the ball. Each team gets a total of
five timeouts for the entire game.
6. Timing:
 High school varsity games play 8 minute quarters.
 Time stops each time an official blows the whistle indicating a dead ball.
 There is one minute between quarters and 10 minutes at the half.
 A player has 10 seconds to shoot a free throw.
 A player has 5 seconds to inbound the ball.
Up next we have the skills, facilities and
equipment
Skills in basketball
• DRIBBLING – the process of bringing or moving the ball place to place around the court using the
finger pads to tap the ball.
• SHOOTING – Practice the B.E.E.F. method for shooting
B = Balance Keep your feet shoulder width apart, with your dominate foot slightly ahead of your non-
dominate foot.
E = Eyes Focus on the rim.
E = Elbow Dominate hand’s elbow should be aligned with your torso in a 90° angle so you are looking at
the back of your wrist
F = Follow Through Flick your wrist after releasing the ball. Imagine reaching into a cookie jar up on a
high shelf.
• PASSING – an alternative way to move the ball around the court that is not comprised of the act of
dribbling. There are three common passes in basketball.
1. Chest pass – the ball is thrown from your chest to your teammate’s chest with no bounce or arc.
2. Bounce pass- The ball is thrown from your chest and is bounced once before entering your
teammate’s hands near their chest area. This pass is the most difficult pass to defend.
3. Overhead pass – The ball is passed from over your head into your teammate’s chest.
• LAYUPS- a shot where a player releases the ball close to the basket while continuing to run off one
foot.
• GRADING
Facilities and equipment
The facilities for basketball include the playing
court, the ring, the backboard and uprights. The
court is a concrete-surface rectangular space
measuring 28m in length and 15m in width.
