LEARNING MODULE
FOR
PE114: TEAM SPORTS
Overview:
Playing a sport is a great way for children to take a break from academics and release the
pent-up energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports and fitness
activities have proven to provide not only physical benefits but also social and psychological
benefits to students. Sports develops an individual self-confidence and self-esteem. A pat on
the back, high-five from a teammate, or handshake after a match really boosts a student’s
confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and other players
raise the self-esteem. An important thing to remember is that an individual self-esteem should
not be distinguished by victory or loss. Every sport requires some mental, physical and tactical
discipline. Following rules, obeying the coach, practicing restraint, etc. are all forms of
discipline students learn through sports. Discipline enables people to reach their full potential
and realize their goals – a trait prevalent in all successful people.

HISTORY OF BASKETBALL
In early December 1891, Canadian American Dr. James Naismith, a physical education
professor and instructor at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training
School (YMCA) (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA), was trying to
keep his gym class active on a rainy day. He sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his
students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After
rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote
the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot (3.05
m) elevated track. In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its
bottom, and balls had to be retrieved manually after each "basket" or point scored; this proved
inefficient, however, so the bottom of the basket was removed, allowing the balls to be poked
out with a long dowel each time. Basketball was originally played with a soccer ball. The first
balls made specifically for basketball were brown, and it was only in the late 1950s that Tony
Hinkle, searching for a ball that would be more visible to players and spectators alike,
introduced the orange ball that is now in common use. Dribbling was not part of the original
game except for the "bounce pass" to teammates. Passing the ball was the primary means of
ball movement. Dribbling was eventually introduced but limited by the asymmetric shape of
early balls. Dribbling only became a major part of the game around the 1950s, as
manufacturing improved the ball shape. The peach baskets were used until 1906 when they
were finally replaced by metal hoops with backboards. A further change was soon made, so
the ball merely passed through. Whenever a person got the ball in the basket, his team would
gain a point. Whichever team got the most points won the game. The baskets were originally
nailed to the mezzanine balcony of the playing court, but this proved impractical when
spectators on the balcony began to interfere with shots. The backboard was introduced to
prevent this interference; it had the additional effect of allowing rebound shots. Naismith's
handwritten diaries, discovered by his granddaughter in early 2006, indicate that he was
nervous about the new game he had invented, which incorporated rules from a children's
game called "Duck on a Rock", as many had failed before it. Naismith called the new game
"Basket Ball". The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium in Albany, New York
on January 20, 1892 with nine players. The game ended at 1–0; the shot was made from 25
feet (7.6 m), on a court just half the size of a present-day Streetball or National Basketball
Association (NBA) court. By 1897–1898 teams of five became standard.
College Basketball
Basketball's early adherents were dispatched to YMCAs throughout the United States, and it
quickly spread through the USA and Canada. By 1895, it was well established at several
women's high schools.
While the YMCA was responsible for initially developing and spreading the game, within a
decade it discouraged the new sport, as rough play and rowdy crowds began to detract from
the YMCA's primary mission. However, other amateur sports clubs, colleges, and professional
clubs quickly filled the void. In the years before World War I, the Amateur Athletic Union and
the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (forerunner of the NCAA) vied for
control over the rules for the game. 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. Dr. James Naismith was instrumental in establishing college
basketball. His colleague C.O. Beamish fielded the first college basketball team just a year
after the Springfield YMCA game at the suburban Pittsburgh Geneva College. Naismith himself
later coached at the University of Kansas for six years, before handing the reins to renowned
coach Forrest "Phog" Allen. Naismith's disciple Amos Alonzo Stagg brought basketball to the
University of Chicago, while Adolph Rupp, a student of Naismith's at Kansas, enjoyed great
success as coach at the University of Kentucky. On February 9, 1895, the first intercollegiate
Professional Basketball
Teams abounded throughout the 1920s. There were hundreds of men's professional basketball
teams in towns and cities all over the United States, and little organization of the professional
game. Players jumped from team to team and teams played in armories and smoky dance
halls. Leagues came and went. Barnstorming squads such as the Original Celtics and two all-
African American teams, the New
York Renaissance Five ("Rens") and the (still existing) Harlem Globetrotters played up to two
hundred games a year on their national tours. In 1946, the Basketball Association of America
(BAA) was formed. The first game was played in Toronto, Ontario, Canada between the
Toronto Huskies and New York Knickerbockers on November 1, 1946. Three seasons later, in
1949, the BAA merged with the National Basketball League to form the National Basketball
Association (NBA). By the 1950s, basketball had become a major college sport, thus paving
the way for a growth of interest in professional basketball. In 1959, a basketball hall of fame
was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts, site of the first game. Its rosters include the names
of great players, coaches, referees and people who have contributed significantly to the
development of the game. The hall of fame has people who have accomplished many goals in
their career in basketball. An upstart organization, the American Basketball Association,
emerged in 1967 and briefly threatened the NBA's dominance until the ABA-NBA merger in
1976. Today the NBA is the top professional basketball league in the world in terms of
popularity, salaries, talent, and level of competition. The NBA has featured many famous
players, including George Mikan, the first dominating "big man"; ball-handling wizard Bob
Cousy and defensive genius Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics; Wilt Chamberlain, who originally
played for the barnstorming Harlem Globetrotters; all-around stars Oscar Robertson and Jerry
West; more recent big men Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal and Karl Malone;
playmaker John Stockton; crowd-pleasing forward Julius Erving; European stars Dirk Nowitzki
and Draven Petkovic and the three players who many credit with ushering the professional
game to its highest level of popularity: Larry Bird, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, and Michael
Jordan. In 2001, the NBA formed a developmental league, the NBDL. As of 2012, the league
has 16 teams. International basketball The International Basketball Federation was formed in
1932 by eight founding nations: Argentina, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Portugal,
Romania and Switzerland. At this time, the organization only oversaw amateur players. Its
acronym, derived from the French Federation International de Basketball Amateur, was thus
"FIBA". Men's Basketball was first included at the Berlin 1936 Summer Olympics, although a
demonstration tournament was held in 1904. The United States defeated Canada in the first
final, played outdoors. This competition has usually been dominated by the United States,
whose team has won all but three titles, the first loss in a controversial final game in Munich in

GAME POSITIONS
Point Guard- This position is usually the fastest player on the team and plays a
significant role in the team’s offence by taking control of the ball and making sure that it
reaches the right player at the right time.
Shooting Guard- The role of this player is to increase the volume of shots and guards
the opponents best perimeter player.
Small Forward- The primary responsibility of this player is to score points by cutting to
the basket or doing a dribbling penetration. On the defense, this player watches out for
rebounds and steals.
Power Forward- This player is responsible for zone defense and man-to-man defense
against an opposing power forward. When playing offensively, he or she plays with his
or her back to the basket.
Center- This player uses his or her size to score and protect the basket or make a
rebound.
BASIC SKILLS
DRIBBLING – the process of bringing or moving the ball place to place around the court
using the finger pads to tap the ball.
B = Balance Keep your feet shoulder width apart, with your dominate foot slightly
ahead of your non-dominate foot.
E = Eyes Focus on the rim.
E = Elbow Dominate hand’s elbow should be aligned with your torso in a
90° angle so you are looking at the back of your wrist.
F = Follow Through Flick your wrist after releasing the ball. Imagine reaching into a cookie
jar up on a high shelf.
Rest the ball on the finger tips not in the palm of the hand.
PASSING – an alternative way to move the ball around the court that is not comprised
of the act of dribbling. There are three common passes in basketball.
1. Chest pass – the ball is thrown from your chest to your teammate’s chest with no bounce or
arc.
2. Bounce pass- The ball is thrown from your chest and is bounced once before entering your
teammate’s hands near their chest area. This pass is the most difficult pass to defend.
3. Overhead pass – The ball is passed from over your head into your teammate’s chest.
LAYUP- a shot where a player releases the ball close to the basket while continuing to run off
one foot.
Basketball – Objective
The main objective of basketball is to make a goal and score points. A goal is made by
shooting the ball through the basket or hoop. The goal post or basket for a team is in the
opponent’s court. Each team should not only try to make a goal and prevent the opposite team
from taking control of the ball, but should also try to protect the basket in their court and
prevent the opponent from making a goal.
Each team may have twelve players entitled to play the game. Five players from a team
can play at any time in the court and they may be substituted at any time during the play. Each
team may have a coach and an assistant coach. Each team may have a group of less than five
non-players with different responsibilities. They are usually manager, doctor, physiotherapist,
statistician, and interpreter.
Basketball is played by two teams of five players each. The object of the game is to score
more points than your opponent. The ball is passed, thrown, bounced, batted, or rolled from
one player to another. A player in possession of the ball must maintain contact with the floor
with one foot (pivot foot), unless the player is shooting, passing, or dribbling. Physical contact
with an opponent can result in a foul if the contact impedes the desired movement of the
player.
Offending team – The team possessing the ball is the offending team.
Defending team – The team that doesn’t possess the ball and tries to get control of it is
the defending team.
Shot clock – Shot clock indicates the amount of time allotted to an offending team to
make a goal. If the team cannot make a goal it is a shot clock violation and the ball is
given to the opposite team to inbound it. The clock usually is set for 24 seconds in FIBA
and NBA matches. The clock is set back to the full limit, when the ball touches the
basket or passes through the basket. In some cases, after a foul the shot clock is
usually set to a lower number, 14 in NBA and FINA matches.
The basket-ball gun – This ball gun shoots the basketball back to the player. It
is used while training.
Dunk shot – A player takes a dunk shot when he/she jumps and pushes the ball
through the basket.
Free throw – When a player is granted a free throw he/she can try to make a goal from
15 feet without any obstruction from the opposing team. Free throws are also granted to
opposing team when a player makes technical fouls.
Penalty situation – A team falls in penalty situation if it commits five fouls in one
quarter. Penalty situation grants free throws for the opposing team after a foul.
Held ball – Sometimes a player is surrounded by too many opponents that he cannot
pass the ball to any of his teammates. He holds the ball tightly and sometimes even one
of his opponents might also hold the ball at the same time. To take control of the ball,
one of them should snatch it by force. This situation is called a held ball.
Jump ball – A referee may call for a jump ball to deal with a held ball situation and bring
the ball back into play. The referee also starts the game with a jump ball. A ball is thrown
vertically in the air between two opponents. Any one among them pushes it to a
teammate.
Point guard, Shooting guard, Small forward, Power forward, Center – These are
various positions of team members. It is not necessary for them to take a particular
position, and a team may choose to discard team positions. It is sometimes used to
attract attention and to satisfy viewers.

CARE OF EQUIPMENT/FACILITIES
1. Balls are stored in portable bins and should be carefully returned to the bins at the end
of each period of use. Do not kick the basketballs or throw them from a distance into the
storage bins.
Basic Rules

position. There are two basic types of offensive attacks: the slow deliberate attack and
the fast break attack.
3. Defense: Players may choose to play either a man to man defense (person to person)
or zone. In man to man each player is assigned a specific person to guard/play defense
on. In a zone defense, players are assigned a specified area to guard. The object of
defense is to try to take the ball away from your person or the person in your assigned
zone area to force them to turn over the ball, or force them to take a low percentage
shot.
5. Timeouts: Timeouts are one minute or 30 seconds in length and can be requested
during a dead ball or anytime by the team in possession of the ball. Each team gets a
total of five timeouts for the entire game.
6. Timing:
Time stops each time an official blows the whistle indicating a dead ball.
Running time is used in physical education and intramural situations. The clock
does not stop on dead balls.
Play
1. The game is started with a jump ball in the center circle between two opponents.
2. A player is out of bounds when touching the floor on or outside the boundary line.

part of the free-throw line between the end line, the free-throw line, and the free-throw lane
lines.
6. If an offensive ball handler, while in the front court, is closely guarded by the defense for 5
seconds, a violation is called and the defense is awarded the ball.
7. If two opponents are both firmly holding the ball, a “jump ball” is called. A “jump ball” results
in an alternating possession which is kept track of at the official table.
9. Violations include: causing the ball to go out of bounds, double dribbling, running with the
ball, kicking the ball, striking the ball with the fist, interfering with the basketball, illegal throw-in
(taking more than 5 seconds or stepping on the line), being closely guarded for 5 seconds
while in possession of the ball in the front court, and the three second lane rule.
