Netball & Basketball project

Student: Adelia Duffrin

Class: 3s
HISTORY:
-Basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith but Clara Baer
influenced the invention of Netball.
-The International governing body for Basketball: The National Basketball
Association (NBA)
-The International governing body for Netball: The International Federation of
Netball Association (IFNA)
-Recent changes to Netball & Basketball rules due to technology:
The advancements of technology used in the both sport have not only changed
professional sport dramatically, but it has also impacted sports at the root
level. Tech has had a profound impact on all sorts of things in the basketball
sphere, ranging from in-game changes, to changes to the way the sport is
watched and consumed.
Some of these changes are the Action replays and GPS tracking technology.
This data includes investing in technology that tracks the physical and athletic
performance data by individual basketball players. With all the current ways to
view a basketball game (tablet, smart phones, computers, televisions, etc) that
provide replays on demand- the NBA is doing its best to keep up with the
times- and, in some areas, transcend them.

the ball through the netball post of the opponent side, in the goal third.
