CONCEPT NOTES:
In December 1891, James Naismith, a Canadian professor of Physical Education and instructor at the
International Young Men's Christian Association Training School (now Springfield College) in Springfield,
Massachusetts, was trying to keep his gym class active on a rainy day. He invented a new game in which
players would pass a ball to teammates and try to score points by tossing the ball into a basket mounted on a
wall.
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, most commonly of five players each, are opposing one
another on a rectangular court. They compete with the primary objective of shooting a basketball through
the defender's hoop while preventing the opposing team from shooting through their own hoop. At the end
of the game, the team with more points wins.
