What is Basketball?
 BASKETBALL
a usually indoor court game
between two teams of usually five
players each who score by tossing
or shooting an inflated ball through
a raised hoop of the opposing team
while preventing the other team to
shoot your own hoop.
 BASKETBALL
Basketball has a very fast and exciting
pace of play. Also, each player on the
court gets to play both offense and
defense and the roles of each player are
only loosely defined. Much of
basketball easily can be practiced (like
shooting or dribbling) with one person
making it easy to learn. The sport also
is great for one-on-one play all the way
up to 5-on-5, so you don't need a big
crowd to get a good game going.

Meet the person who invented this
game
James W. Naismith
HISTORY OF BASKETBALL

The only major sport strictly of U.S. origin,

basketball was invented by James Naismith (1861–
1939) on or about December 1, 1891, at the
International Young Men’s Christian Association
(YMCA) Training School (now Springfield
College), Springfield, Massachusetts, where
Naismith was an instructor in physical education.
 HOW IT ALL
STARTED
For that first game of basketball in 1891, Naismith
used as goals two half-bushel peach baskets, which
gave the sport its name. The students were
enthusiastic. After much running and shooting,
William R. Chase made a midcourt shot—the only
score in that historic contest. Word spread about
the newly invented game, and numerous
associations wrote Naismith for a copy of the
rules, which were published in the January 15,
1892, issue of the Triangle, the YMCA Training
School’s campus paper.
JANUARY 20, 1892

The first official game using Naismith’s

rules that has 18 players. The first games
were simply about keeping the ball away
from the opposing team and the concept
of offense is not present at this time.

 ORIGINAL RULES
OF BASKETBALL
Just a month after inventing basketball, Naismith
would publish the rules to his game. The original game
is very different from the one that is played today. Even
metal hoops, nets, and backboards wouldn’t be
included in the rules of the game until 1906. For many
years, a soccer ball was even used to play the game.
 ORIGINAL RULES
OF BASKETBALL
There were 13 original rules to Naismith’s basketball.
Players were allowed to throw the ball in any direction
with one or two hands. The ball could be batted in any
direction as well. Players could not run with the ball,
forced to throw it from the spot they caught it.
Naismith made an allowance for someone to come to a
stop if they were running at full speed and caught the
ball.
 ORIGINAL RULES
