 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball

Basketball is a team sports. It is played by two competing teams. The objective of

the game is to score in the opponents basket and prevent the other team from scoring. The
basket that is attacked by a team is the opponent’s basket. The basket which is defended by
a team is the team own’ s basket. The team that has scored the greater number of points at
the end of playing time shall be the winner

NATURE AND BACKGROUND OF BASKETBALL

Basketball is a team sport, wherein the objective is to shoot a ball through a basket
horizontally positioned to score points while following a set of rules. Usually, two teams of
five players play on a marked rectangular court with a basket at each width end. Basketball
is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports. A regulation basketball hoop
consists of a rim 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high mounted to a backboard. A team
can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. A field goal
scores two points for the shooting team if a player is touching or closer to the basket than
the three-point line, and three points (known commonly as a 3-pointer or three) if the player
is behind the three point line. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins,
but additional time (overtime) may be issued when the game ends with a draw. The ball can
be advanced on the court by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or throwing
(passing) it to a team mate. It is a violation to move without dribbling the ball (travelling), to
carry it, or to hold

3
the ball with both hands then resume dribbling (double dribble). Various violations are
generally called "fouls".

Disruptive physical contact (a personal foul) is penalized, and a free throw is

usually awarded to an offensive player if he is fouled while shooting the ball. A technical foul
may also be issued when certain infractions occur, most commonly for unsportsmanlike
conduct on the part of a player or coach. A technical foul gives the opposing team a free
throw, and the opposing team is also retained possession of the ball. Basketball has evolved
many commonly used techniques of shooting, passing, dribbling, and rebounding, as well as
specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures (player positioning) and
techniques. Typically, the tallest members of a team will play "center", "power forward" or
"small forward" positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling
skills and speed play "point guard" or "shooting guard". While competitive basketball is
carefully regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play.
Competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport played on a carefully marked and
maintained basketball court, but less regulated variations are often played outdoors in
both inner city and remote areas.

What is It

HISTORY
Basketball was invented in December 1891 by the Canadian clergyman, educator,
and physician James Naismith. Naismith introduced the game when he was an instructor at
the Young Men's Christian Association Training School (now Springfield College) in
Springfield, Massachusetts. At the request of his superior, Dr. Luther H. Gulick, he
organized a vigorous recreation suitable for indoor winter play. The game involved elements
of American football, soccer, and hockey, and the first ball used was a soccer ball. Teams
had nine players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets affixed to the walls. By 1897-
1898, teams of five became standard. The game rapidly spread nationwide and to Canada
and other parts of the world, played by both women and men; it also became a popular
informal outdoor game. U.S. servicemen in World War II (1939-1945) popularized the sport
in many other countries. A number of U.S. colleges adopted the game between about 1893
and 1895. In 1934 the first college games were staged in New York City's Madison Square
Garden, and college basketball began to attract heightened interest. By the 1950s
basketball had become a major college sport, thus paving the way for a growth of interest in
professional basketball. The first pro league, the National Basketball League, was formed in
1898 to protect players from exploitation and to promote a less rough game. This league
only lasted five years before disbanding; its demise spawned a number of loosely organized

4
leagues throughout the north eastern United States. One of the first and greatest pro teams
was the Original Celtics, organized about 1915 in New York City. They played as many as
150 games a season and dominated basketball until 1936. The Harlem Globetrotters,
founded in 1927, a notable exhibition team, specializes in amusing court antics and expert
ball handling. In 1949 two subsequent professional leagues, the National Basketball League
(formed in 1937) and the Basketball Association of America (1946) merged to create the
National Basketball Association (NBA). The Boston Celtics, led by their center Bill Russell,
dominated the NBA from the late 1950s through the 1960s. By the 1960s, pro teams from
coast to coast played before crowds of many millions annually. Wilt Chamberlain, a center
for the Los Angeles Lakers, was another leading player during the era, and his battles with
Russell were eagerly anticipated. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, also a center, came to prominence
during the 1970s. Jabbar perfected his famed "sky hook" shot while playing for the Los
Angeles Lakers and dominated the opposition.
The NBA suffered a drop in popularity during the late 1970s, but was resuscitated,
principally through the growing popularity of its most prominent players.
Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, and Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers are credited
with injecting excitement into the league in the 1980s through their superior skills and
decade-long rivalry. During the late 1980s Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls rose to
stardom and helped the Bulls dominate the NBA during the early 1990s. A new generation
of basketball stars, including Shaquille O'Neal of the Orlando Magic and Larry Johnson of
the Charlotte Hornets, have sustained the NBA's growth in popularity. In 1959 a Basketball
Hall of Fame was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts. Its rosters include the names of
great players, coaches, referees, and people who have contributed significantly to the
development of the game.

What Is It

Basic Skills in Basketball (How they are properly executed)

Shooting

19
 The first basic skill to be learned is shooting. Every basketball player loves to shoot the
ball! The most practiced skill in the game is shooting. Players spend a good deal of their
practice time on shooting drills to improve their skill level. After all, if you can't shoot - you
can't score! So, here’s how you can improve your shooting skills in basketball:
 Remember BEEF (Balance Elbow, Elbow, Follow Through) when shooting the ball.
 Be relaxed and concentrate on the basket.
 Know when you have a good shot and then take it.
 Be in proper balance when shooting the ball.
 Follow through on every shot you take.
 Jump naturally.
 “Up, hang, shoot!” is an easy way to remember this.
 Make sure you have an arc on every shot you take.
 Be relaxed when shooting free throws.
 Practice all of your shots.

Dribbling
Dribbling in basketball is a skill that you should master. It allows you to move around
the court while you’re in possession of the ball. It is a legal method that allows you to
advance with the ball and make a score as opposed to that of passing it to a teammate to
shoot it for the basket. This move involves bouncing the ball off the floor with your hands as
you cover the floor. This is how it’s done:
 Dribble the ball with hand and use only the tips of your finger in dribbling it.
 Employ the wrist and the forearm to push the ball while covering the court.
 Don’t involve the whole hand to avoid losing control of the ball.
 Don’t keep your fingers in touch with each other while dribbling.
 Spread your fingers to allow full control of the ball as it dribbles.
 Dribble the ball in one side of your body and not right in front.
 While dribbling in one hand, use the other hand to drive your defender away from the
ball.

Passing
Basketball is a team game. By definition, that means all players are involved with the
process of playing the game and should function as one. One of the primary skills created to
accomplish this is passing. It is a skill that maximizes the involvement of all player in setting

20
up a play to earn successful shots and earn points for the whole team. To learn more about
passing, read and practice as instructed below:
 Basically, there are two types of pass: air pass and bounce pass. Air pass travels
between players without hitting the floor. Bounce pass is thrown to the floor so that it
bounces to the intended receiver.
 Air passes include chest pass-a pass that originates from the chest to the receiver’s
chest level; and overhead pass-a pass that originates from the forehead. With this
pass, aim for your teammate's chin. Don’t bring the ball behind your head, because it
can get stolen and it takes a split-second longer to throw the pass.
 In executing bounce passes, calculate about 3/3 distance from the receiver as the
hitting point so that the ball bounces right to your receiver. But for better accuracy,
you have to experiment by yourself because the bounce is directly proportional with
how strong the ball hits the floor.
 A good pass is a pass a teammate can catch.
 When passing, step toward your receiver.
 When catching, step toward the pass.
 Like shooting, the ball should have a backspin to it. This is accomplished by following
through on every pass.

Rebounding
Rebounding is one of the major aspects of the game. It is your ability to jump with
power to gain possession of the ball as it bounces to the rim after a failed shot before it
touches the floor. Just how important is rebounding? Whenever you grab a rebound, your
team gains a chance to shoot again while the other team actually loses it. The difference is
double. So, how to make a good rebound, here’s how...
 Practice good footwork and vertical leap or jumps.
 Anticipate where the ball will land.
 The longer the shot or the harder the rim, the farther the bounces.
 When a shooter is a soft shooter, this means he always takes time to put an arc on
his shots, the ball bounces near the ring.
 When a shooter is a hard shooter, this means there’s a little or no arc on his shots,
then the ball bounces far from the ring.
 Leg power and strong body are needed in rebounding that’s why it is essential that
strength and power exercises should be considered to conditioning your body.
Running
Running is one of the basic skills that a basketball player should possess. Because in
this sport, speed defines the best. Whether you’re on the offensive or defensive side of the

21
game, passing, receiving, shooting or rebounding a ball, you always have to run in any way
possible. Here are some tips for you to improve your running skills:
 Always have a good pair of playing shoes.
 Always do a combination of dynamic stretching and warm-up activities across the
court before going out to play a game. These exercises have already been
introduced to
 you when you were in Grade 7 but in case you have forgotten them
already, here they are:
Dynamic Stretching
 Toe Walk
 Shuffle
 Heel Walk
 Back Pedal
 Inch Walk
 Jogging
 High Knees
 Carioca
 Butt Kicks
 Jumping jacks

better picture. You were provided with opportunities to express and demonstrate your
understanding of the benefits that you and your family can derive from engaging and
participating in team sports by answering the mind-extracting and thought-provoking
questions given. You were made to realize that in team sports. Individual expertise is highly
appreciated but not the expense of sacrificing the whole team. You might have been a good
player or maybe even the best ones, but you still need the team to back you up and make
things happen together. That’s why it’s called team sports after all. Each member plays an
important role in the game. Winning might have been important to you and your team, but
how you played the game is even more essential. Your family with all its members, including
you, is a perfect analogy for team sports. Each essentially considering their respective roles
and areas of expertise but also equally necessary to carry out our roles for the family to be fit
and healthy. Each member makes a contribution to the family’s goals and objectives.
