 HISTORY
The history of basketball began with its invention in 1891 in Springfield,
Massachusetts by Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith as a less
injury-prone sport than football. Naismith was a 31-year old graduate student when
he created the indoor sport to keep athletes indoors during the winters.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. After basketball
became established in American colleges, the professional game followed. The
American National Basketball Association (NBA), established in 1946, grew to a
multibillion-dollar enterprise by the end of the century, and basketball became an
integral part of American culture.
The game of basketball as it is known today was created by Dr. James Naismith in
December 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts, to condition young athletes during cold
months. Naismith was a physical education instructor at YMCA International Training
School (now known as Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts. Upon the
request of his boss, Naismith was tasked to create an indoor sports game to help
athletes keep in shape in cold weather. It consisted of peach baskets and a soccer
style ball. He published 13 rules for the new game. He divided his class of eighteen into
two teams of nine players each and set about to teach them the basics of his new game.
The objective of the game was to throw the basketball into the fruit baskets nailed
to the lower railing of the gym balcony. Every time a point was scored, the game was
halted so the janitor could bring out a ladder and retrieve the ball. After a while,
the bottoms of the fruit baskets were removed. The first public basketball game was
played in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 11, 1892.

 SKILLS OF BASKETBALL

1. Passing - A good offensive attack requires good passing from players.

This helps find an open man, to find a good shooter or to get away from a
defender. There are several types of passes you need to learn:

• Overhead Pass
• Chest Pass
• Push Pass
• Baseball Pass
• Off-the-Dribble Pass
• Bounce Pass

The chest pass is named so because the pass originates from the chest. It is thrown by gripping the ball
on the sides with the thumbs directly behind the ball. When the pass is thrown, the fingers are rotated
behind the ball and the thumbs are turned down. The resulting follow through has the back of the hands
facing one another with the thumbs straight down. The ball should have a nice backspin.
The bounce pass is thrown with the same motion however it is aimed at the floor. It should be thrown far
enough out that the ball bounces waist high to the receiver. Some say try to throw it 3/4 of the way to the
receiver, and that may be a good reference point to start, but each player has to experiment how far to
throw it so it bounces to the receiver properly. Putting a proper and consistent backspin on the pass will
make the distance easier to judge.

 2. Shooting - The object of the game is to win by scoring the most points. Therefore, improving
the team's shooting is important to win a game. There are several ways to score in the game. A free
throw is a shot attempt given to a player that was fouled and it is taken on the free throw line. The
player must stay behind the free throw line when taking the shot.

Before attempting to shoot, one must maintain their balance. Find the nail or dot in the middle of the free
throw line and line your shooting foot against it. For right-handed shooters, the shooting foot will be the
right foot and vice versa.

A layup is a shot made from short range by a player moving towards the basket. Usually utilizing the
backboard if he approaches the hoop from an angle. This is also one of the most basic and common way
of scoring a basket in the game.

To execute a layup, dribble the ball towards the basket. If you’re on the right flank, dribble the ball with
your right hand.

At the three-point line, or within two metres from the basket, take two giant strides towards the hoop and
attempt to score by throwing the ball at the top corner of the backboard or lay the ball gently into the
basket.

3. DRIBBLING- Is dribbling is a fundamental skill in which a player uses one hand to continuously
bounce the ball on the court. Dribbling helps you control the ball, advance it toward the hoop, and
create distance between you and your defender

• crossover dribble
• behind the back
• pull back dribble
• low dribble
• basic dribble
• between the legs dribble

Basketball – Equipments

Basket
A hoop or basket with net around its circumference and of 18 inch diameter is firmly hung horizontally from a rectangular
backboard of 3.5 feet height and 6 feet width on either sides of the court. The rim of the hoop is 10 feet above the ground.
The backboard in various international competitions is transparent for better visibility.

Ball
Basketball is an orange-colored and rough-textured spherical ball with black contours usually made of leather or
composite tough materials.
The ball is bounced continuously (dribbling), thrown through the air to other players (passing), and towards the basket
(shooting). So a typical basketball must be very durable and easy to hold on to.

The basketball team on offense is the team with the basketball. When a player has the
basketball there are certain rules they must follow:

1) The player must bounce, or dribble, the ball with one hand while moving both feet. If, at any
time, both hands touch the ball or the player stops dribbling, the player must only move one
foot. The foot that is stationary is called the pivot foot.

2) The basketball player can only take one turn at dribbling. In other words, once a player has
stopped dribbling they cannot start another dribble. A player who starts dribbling again is called
for a double-dribbling violation and looses the basketball to the other team. A player can only
start another dribble after another player from either team touches or gains control of the
basketball. This is usually after a shot or pass.

3) The ball must stay in bounds. If the offensive team loses the ball out of bounds the other
team gets control of the basketball.

4) The players hand must be on top of the ball while dribbling. If they touch the bottom of the
basketball while dribbling and continue to dribble this is called carrying the ball and the player
will lose the ball to the other team.

5) Once the offensive team crosses half court, they may not go back into the backcourt. This
is called a backcourt violation. If the defensive team knocks the ball into the backcourt, then
the offensive team can recover the ball legally.

6) The main rule for the defensive player is not to foul. A foul is described as gaining an
unfair advantage through physical contact. There is some interpretation that has to be made
by the referee, but, in general, the defensive player may not touch the offensive player in a
way that causes the offensive player to lose the ball or miss a shot.

11
  Air ball: A shot that misses the rim or backboard.

 Alive: Offensive player who has the ball and has not dribbled.

 Alternating Possession Rule: The possession arrow changes direction after each
subsequent jump ball or held ball situation, alternating which team gets possession for
the ball. 

throw-in. The first possession after a held ball goes to the team who lost the opening jump
ball to begin the game.

 Assist: A pass to a teammate that results in a made basket.

 Backboard: The flat surface directly behind the basket. The basket is connected to
the backboard.

 Backdoor: An offensive move where a player cuts behind the defenders and receives
a pass for a field-goal attempt.

 Ball Handler: The player with the ball. Usually the guard at the start of the play.

 Bank Shot: A shot where the ball is first bounced or banked off the backboard at such
an angle that it then drops into the basket.

 Basket: Consists of the rim and the net, also known a ‘the hoop’.
