HISTORY

James Naismith was the Canadian physical education

instructor who invented basketball in 1891. James

Naismith was born in Almonte, Ontario and educated at

McGill University and Presbyterian Cllege in Montreal.

He was the physical education teacher at McGillUniversity (1887 to 1890) and at Springfield College in

Springfield, Massachusetts (1890 to 1895). At Springfield

College (which was then the Y.M.C.A. training school),

James Naismith, under the direction of American phys-ed specialist Luther Halsey Gulick, invented the indoor

sport of basketball.

HISTORY

The first formal rules were devised in 1892.

Initially, players dribbled a soccer ball up and

down a court of unspecified dimensions. Points

were earned by landing the ball in a peachbasket. Iron hoops and a hammock-style basket

were introduced in 1893. Another decade

passed, however, before the innovation of open-

ended nets put an end to the practice ofmanually retrieving the ball from the basket each

time a goal was scored.

BASKETBALL COURT Basketball courts come in different shapes and sizes and

colors. In the NBA, the court is 94 feet by 50 ft (28.65m by15.24m). Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA)

rules,[1] the court is minutely smaller, measuring exactly

28 m by 15 m (91'10.4" by 49'2.6"). A high school court is

slightly smaller, at 84' by 50' and some elementary

schools have courts measuring 74' x 42'. In amateur

basketball, court sizes vary widely. The baskets are

always 10' (3.05m) above the floor (except possibly in

youth competition). Basketball courts have a three-point

arc at both baskets. A basket made from behind this arc isworth three points; a basket made from within this line, or

with a player's foot touching the line is worth two points.

The free-throw line, where one stands while taking a foul

shot, is located within the three-point arc.

BASIC SKILLS

Dribbling

-is an important skill for all basketball

players. This skill will allow you to move upand down the court, maneuver past

defenders and execute plays. Proper

dribbling requires ball-handling skills and

knowledge of how to spread your fingers forball control. It is also best if you know how to

dribble equally well with both hands.


7/34

BASIC SKILLS

Shooting-in order to score points in basketball, you

need to shoot the ball into the hoop. This

requires the ability to properly hold andthrow the ball into the air toward the basket

while avoiding defenders. A proper shot

requires precise aiming, arm extension and

lift from the legs. There are different types of

shots you need to learn, including jump

shots, layups and free throws.


8/34

BASIC SKILLS

Running

-is a big part of basketball. In a full-court

game, you will find yourself running back

and forth as the game quickly transitions

between offense and defense. When you

have the ball, running will help you to avoid

defenders and get to the basket quicker. Ondefense, you often will find yourself needing

to run after the opponent, especially during

fast breaks.


9/34

BASIC SKILLS

Passing

-is another skill that when mastered can help

you become a complete basketball player.

Basketball is a team sport that involvesfinding a teammate who is open for a shot.

The ability to pass the ball to this player can

make the difference between scoring andnot scoring. Really great passers are an

important part of a basketball team and

usually the ones who set up scoring plays.


10/34

BASIC SKILLS

Jumping

-is another skill that can define how good a

basketball player is. Jumping is involved in

offense during the jump ball in thebeginning, while taking shots and

sometimes while trying to catch a pass. On

defensive you will need the ability to jumpwhen trying to block a shot or a pass. Being

able to out jump your opponent for a

rebound also is important.

MODERN RULES


20/34

The Rules

-basketball is a team sport. Two teams of five

players each try to score by shooting a ball

through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground.The game is played on a rectangular floor called

the court, and there is a hoop at each end. The

court is divided into two main sections by the mid-

court line. If the offensive team puts the ball into

play behind the mid-court line, it has ten seconds

to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it doesn't,

then the defense gets the ball. Once the offensiveteam gets the ball over the mid-court line, it can no

longer have possession of the ball in the area in

back of the line. If it does, the defense is awarded

the ball.


21/34

The ball is moved down the court toward

the basket by passing or dribbling. The

team with the ball is called the offense.

The team without the ball is called thedefense. They try to steal the ball, contest

shots, steal and deflect passes, and

garner rebounds.


22/34

When a team makes a basket, they score two points and

the ball goes to the other team. If a basket, or field goal,

is made outside of the three-point arc, then that basket is

worth three points. A free throw is worth one point. Freethrows are awarded to a team according to some

formats involving the number of fouls committed in a half

and/or the type of foul committed. Fouling a shooter

always results in two or three free throws being awarded

the shooter, depending upon where he was when he

shot. If he was beyond the three-point line, then he gets

three shots. Other types of fouls do not result in free

throws being awarded until a certain number have

accumulated during a half. Once that number is reached,then the player who was fouled is awarded a '1-and-1'

opportunity. If he makes his first free throw, he gets to

attempt a second. If he misses the first shot, the ball is

live on the rebound


23/34

FOULS AND VIOLATIONS

Hitting

Pushing

Slapping Holding

Personal foul penalties:If a player is shooting

while a being fouled, then he gets two free

throws if his shot doesn't go in, but only one free

throw if his shot does go in.Three free throws are awarded if the player is

fouled while shooting for a three-point goal and

they miss their shot. If a player is fouled while

shooting a three-point shot and makes itanyway, he is awarded one free throw. Thus, he

could score four points on the play.

Inbounds. If fouled while not shooting, the ball isgiven to the team the foul was committed upon.

out of bounds, and have 5 seconds to pass the

ball onto the court.

scorebook improperly or dunking during

warm-ups.

31/34

PLAYER POSITIONS

Center. Centers are generally your tallestplayers. They generally are positioned

near the basket.

Offensive -- The center's goal is to get

open for a pass and to shoot. They are

also responsible for blocking defenders,

known as picking or screening, to openother players up for driving to the basket

for a goal. Centers are expected to get

some offensive rebounds and put-backs.


32/34

Defensive -- On defense, the center's main

responsibility is to keep opponents from

shooting by blocking shots and passes inthe key area. They also are expected to

get a lot of rebounds because they're

taller.

Forward. Your next tallest players will

most likely be your forwards. While a

forward may be called upon to play underthe hoop, they may also be required to

operate in the wings and corner areas.

Offensive Forwards are responsible to


33/34

Offensive -- Forwards are responsible to

get free for a pass, take outside shots,

drive for goals, and rebound.

Defensive -- Responsibilities include

preventing drives to the goal and

rebounding.

Guard. These are potentially your shortest

players and they should be really good atdribbling fast, seeing the court, and

passing. It is their job to bring the ball

down the court and set up offensive plays.


34/34

Offensive -- Dribbling, passing, and setting

up offensive plays are a guard's main

responsibilities. They also need to be able

to drive to the basket and to shoot fromthe perimeter.

Defensive -- On defense, a guard isresponsible for stealing passes, contesting

shots, preventing drives to the hoop, and
