History
The game basketball started with a peach basket and eventually became an
instant hit for people at that time. Dr. James Naismith discovered the game in
1892, but it was Dr. Luther Gullick, a PE professor from YMCA, Springfield,
who was very eager to come up with a new team game similar to other ball
games. It was then Naismith, his student who was eventually assigned to
come up with a brand new game which requires a number of participants.
Even under pressure to beat the deadline, he came up with an idea to hang
two peach baskets at both ends of a court designed with a hoop and a
volleyball. The objective of the game was to shoot the ball from the hoop and
the team with the most number of shots made wins the game. After
demonstration, the game became an instant hit. It was then that the
development of this game started. They formulated the rules that would
guide them in playing. The game was played in different places in America
first and then in other countries. In 1936, basketball was included in the
Olympic games. Basketball was brought to the Philippines by the Americans.
It became popular and was included in the Physical Education curriculum
and even an event in school sports program.
It is now played by both young and adults, from all walks of life, and even
girls in different levels of competition.
