    James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 while working as an instructor at Springfield College. He was tasked with creating an indoor winter activity for restless students and drew upon his experience playing various sports. Naismith developed the game of basketball, using a soccer-sized ball and peach baskets as goals, establishing the first 13 rules of the sport. Basketball quickly spread from Springfield College and has since become a global phenomenon played worldwide.

    The History of Basketball

    Report by: Anselmo, Bren


    Daniel A.
    8 - Linnaeus
    The Birthplace of
    Basketball
     Basketball is built into the fabric of
    Springfield College. The game was
    invented by Springfield College instructor
    and graduate student James Naismith in
    1891, and has grown into the worldwide
    athletic phenomenon we know it to be
    today.
    Where Basketball
    Originated
    o It was the winter of 1891-1892. Inside a gymnasium at
    Springfield College (then known as the International
    YMCA Training School), located in Springfield, Mass.,
    was a group of restless college students. The young
    men had to be there; they were required to participate in
    indoor activities to burn off the energy that had been
    building up since their football season ended. The
    gymnasium class offered them activities such as
    marching, calisthenics, and apparatus work, but these
    were pale substitutes for the more exciting games of
    football and lacrosse they played in warmer seasons.
    James Naismith, The
    Person Who Invented
    Basketball
    The instructor of this class was
    James Naismith, a 31-year-old
    graduate student. After graduating
    from Presbyterian College in
    Montreal with a theology degree,
    Naismith embraced his love of
    athletics and headed to Springfield
    to study physical education.
    As Naismith, a second-year graduate student who had been named to the
    teaching faculty, looked at his class, his mind flashed to the summer session of
    1891, when Gulick introduced a new course in the psychology of play. In class
    discussions, Gulick had stressed the need for a new indoor game, one “that would
    be interesting, easy to learn, and easy to play in the winter and by artificial light.”
    No one in the class had followed up on Gulick’s challenge to invent such a game.
    But now, faced with the end of the fall sports season and students dreading the
    mandatory and dull required gymnasium work, Naismith had a new motivation.
    • Much time and thought went into this new
    creation. It became an adaptation of many
    games of its tim), English rugby (the jump ball),
    lacrosse (use of a goal), soccer (the shape and
    size of the ball), and something called duck on a
    rock, a game Naismith had played with his
    childhood friends in Bennie’s Corners, Ontario.
    Duck on a rock used a ball and a goal that could
    not be rushed. The goal could not be slammed
    through, thus necessitating “a goal with a
    horizontal opening high enough so that the ball
    would have to be tossed into it, rather than being
    thrown.”
