Dribbling was not part of the rules of the first basketball games. The moment you
caught a ball, you had to throw it to another player to move the game along.
That changed in 1897 when dribbling became part of the game.

Lesson 1: History and Development of Basketball Worldwide

History
Basketball is an exciting game in the 20th century. It was invented by Dr. James
Naismith in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Dr. Naismith was a student of
Dr. Luther Gulick of the International YMCA Training School when the latter
assigned his students the task of devising a game that can be played indoors
during wintertime.

The first ball used was a soccer ball and a peach basket with a hoop. Two peach
baskets were mounted in a balcony of the gymnasium to which the ball was
tossed. After a goal was made, a player had to climb up the ladder to retrieve the
ball. Then, a pole was kept nearby to push the ball up through the ring. Later,
someone thought that the bottom of the net can be made open and the ball could
drop through.

Dr. Naismith formulated the rules for men’s basketball and in 1899, the Division for Girls and Women’s Sports
formulated rules for women’s basketball. In 1933, men’s rules were standardized by a newly formed National
Basketball Committee of the U.S.A. and Canada. The original girls’ team was composed of 5 to 9 players.

About the Game

Basketball is played by two teams of five players each. The purpose of each team is to shoot the ball into one's
team basket and make a score and to prevent the opposing team from securing the ball or from scoring. The ball
may be passed, thrown, rolled, or dribbled in any direction. The team with the most point at the end of the game
wins.
Basketball in the Philippines
Basketball was introduced in the Philippines during
the American colonial period with the first American
teachers teaching the sport along with baseball through
the YMCA and the school system. Basketball was first
introduced to the Philippine public-school system by the
Americans as a women's sport in 1910 and was played in
Interscholastic meets in 1911 until 1913. Women's basketball
met opposition from conservative groups, particularly
the Catholic Church who view bloomers worn by women
basketball players as inappropriate. By the time skirts could
be worn above bloomers as a compromise, women's
basketball was already in decline and was only played in provincial and local interscholastic meets. Indoor
softball and as well as volleyball became the more preferred sport for Filipino women.

The Court

The playing area of basketball is called the court. The court measures 28 meters
long and 15 meters wide. The surface can be made of wood, concrete, or asphalt.
The playing court has two boundary lines. The lines of the long sides are the
sidelines and the short sides are the end line. The distance between these lines and
the spectators should be at least 2 meters. The court is divided by a centerline. It has
three retraining circles and two free-throw areas.

The Ball
The official ball is round with a circumference of 74.9 cm to 78 cm. it shall weigh not less than 567 grams and
not more than 650 grams (Provido, 1998). In competition, a leather ball is used.

Number of players and substitution

There are five players on the court for each team. The coaches can substitute fresh players at any time, from one
player up to five at a time. There are no limitations on how many times in the game substitution can be made
and many times a player can

come in and out of the game. Substitution can be made only on a dead ball when the referee blows the whistle
and play stops. You can substitute after the first of two free throws and after the last free throw, but you can't
substitute before the first free throw. The only player for whom you can't substitute is the player shooting at the
free-throw line.

Time
College games last 40 minutes, divided into two 20-minute halves.

The Baskets
Each basket consists of a rim with a net attached to a backboard, which is attached to structural support, like a
pole. Each team has its basket at one end of the court.

Scoring
When a player shoots and scores from anywhere inside the 3-point arc, it counts as 2 points. Any shot made by
the shooter's feet outside the 3-point arc counts as 3 points. 2-point shots and 3-point shots are field goals. Free
throws are awarded to a player who has been fouled, is worth 1 point. If the team mistakenly scores at the
wrong basket, the basket counts for the other team.

Moving the Ball

When a team has possession of the ball, it tries to move the ball
close to the other team's basket for a good scoring opportunity.
Players can advance the ball by dribbling and passing it to a
teammate. When they throw the ball at the basket to try to score,
they are shooting the ball.

Defending the Basket

When a team does not have possession of the ball, it defends its
basket. Players can gain possession of the ball from the team at any
time through stealing dribbles and getting defensive rebounds.

Instruction: Research on the following rules and violations in basketball and answer the following
questions in not less than 5 sentences.

1. What are the basic rules in basketball and its purpose during the game? Justify your answer.
Two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet
above the ground. The team with the ball is called the offense. The team without the ball is called
the defense. 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
offensive team gets the ball over the mid-court line, it can no longer have possession of the ball in
the area behind the midcourt line, if it does, the defense is awarded the ball.
2. Why do we have rules and there should be officials during the game?

Rules provide an agreement of understanding to competition. In sports, rules define what is

allowed or not allowed to occur during situations on and off the court. If you do not have rules
and regulations basketball, the game may turn into a murderous brawl. While an official in basketball is a
person responsible for spotting any rule violations and enforcing the appropriate penalties in
basketball. Officials are vitally important to any basketball game, as they help to ensure a level
playing field that prevents either team from having an unfair advantage.

III. Lesson Proper

Instruction: Identify the following common shooting fouls presented below.

Write you answer on the space provided.
 Charging Foul Holding Foul Blocking Foul

Rules about Fouls

The rules about fouls are designed to keep the game

from getting too rough and to penalize players who
violate the rules. Each time a foul is committed; the
referee blows the whistle and plays stops. The
referee uses a hand signal to indicate what the foul
was and calls out the number of the player who
committed the foul.

Personal fouls happen when a player makes physical contact with an opponent in a manner not allowed by the
rules. Some of the most common no shooting fouls are the following:

 Reaching across a player’s body with your arm

 Holding a player
 Blocking a player who is driving to the basket by getting in her way and knocking off her path.
 Charging foul is when he dribbles into a defender who has established position and is no longer moving
 Pushing a player
 Tripping a player

Three other kinds of Personal Fouls

1. Intentional Foul happens when a player makes illegal contact with an opponent and is trying to incur a
foul. Two free throws are awarded to the player who was fouled.
2. A flagrant foul is called for excessive roughness, such as punches, kicks, or fights with another player.
The referee has the right to eject the offending player from the game.
3. A technical foul can be addressed to a player or a coach at the referee's discretion for various
unsportsmanlike actions, including profanity, insulting the referee, and throwing the ball at the player.
The penalty for a technical foul is that a player from the other team shoots three free throws without
anyone standing along the sides of the lane, then, that player's team will inbound the ball from their end
of the court.
 Each player is allowed a maximum of five personal fouls per game. Players who foul out can’t come back
into the game. Team fouls are totals of the personal fouls each team accumulates during a half. There’s no
limit to the number of team fouls a team can accumulate. At the end of the first half, the team foul total for
each team resets to zero.

Other Rules
Here are the other basic rules of the game. If a player on your team
violates any of these rules, your team immediately gives up possession
of the ball to the other team.

1. 10-second backcourt call

2. 5-second closely guarded call
3. 5-second call on the dribbler
4. 5-second call on the bounder
5. 3-second lane violation
6. Backcourt violation
7. Traveling
8. Double dribble palming

The Positions
Basketball players fall into one of two general categories: guards (perimeter players), who play away from the
basket along the 3-point arc area, and forwards (or posts), who play near the basket and around the free-throw
line. Each player is assigned a position to play.

1. Point Guard or 1 4. Power Forward or 4

2. Shooting Guard or 2 5. Center or 5

3. Small Forward or 3

stretching helps to return the muscles to their normal resting position and length thereby helping to
prevent sore muscles (Miller, 2005).
Guidelines for Stretching:
 Stretch the entire body
 Perform each stretch with the proper form
 Stretch slowly. Move into correct position slowly and then increase the intensity for 10-15
seconds
 Perform each stretch one-three times per workout

Learning Activity #3:

Instructions: Answer the following questions in not less than 5 sentences:
 1. As a basketball player, what do you think is the most important skill that you should develop
and improve to be a better player in the game? Justify your answer.

As for me, shooting is the most important skill that any basketball player needs
to master. First is, an improvement in your shooting percentage can help make your team win
more games. If your team has a lower shooting percentage, your team needs to get more offensive
and defensive rebounds as well as force turnovers just to compensate against a team with better
shooting accuracy. Good shooters are also able to change the offensive dynamics of the
game. Overall, having a high shooting percentage is an important goal that, when possible, a
player should try to meet since this is not only beneficial for him as an individual player, but it
can also benefit him for long term reasons. 

2. What do you think are the benefits of being physically active and engaging in this kind of
sport? Why?

_ Playing basketball helps to improve motor coordination, flexibility, and endurance. It

also encourages speed, agility, and strength. These skills are shown to have a
positive effect on promoting a healthy body weight and encouraging more
physical activity, which can enhance cardio-respiratory fitness and self-esteem.
Engaging in this activity also releases endorphins, which are the feel-good, or
happiness, hormones. Endorphins may boost your mood, promote relaxation, and
reduce pain.

3. What are the things that you need to consider in playing this sport? Why?
_ Basketball is a game that requires you to not only be physically prepared but also mentally
ready. First, practicing your fundamentals correctly and aggressively not only makes you
better but also simulates what you will face in game situations. Being unselfish by setting
screens, sharing the ball and moving to get open. Strengthening your strengths and working
your weaknesses are also important as this will not only benefit you but the whole team and
may lead to successful games.
