Basketball was invented in 1891 by James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts. He created 13 original rules for the new game, using a soccer ball and peach baskets as the first goals. Over time, rules and equipment evolved, including replacing peach baskets with metal hoops and backboards. The game spread rapidly in popularity in the early 1900s. Key basketball skills include shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, and running. Regulation court dimensions and markings are specified, along with standard equipment like balls, baskets, and player shoes. Games are officiated by referees, umpires, scorers, timers and other officials who enforce standardized rules and regulations.

6. • The game was invented in
1891 by Dr. James Naismith,
who would be the first
basketball coach of the
Kansas Jayhawks, one of the
most successful programs in
the game's history

7. • James Naismith (November 6,
1861 – November 28, 1939) was

running at a good speed if he tries to stop.
4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be
used for holding
5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an
opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any player shall

substitute allowed.
6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3, 4, and such as
described in Rule 5.

9. 7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents
(consecutive means without the opponents in the mean time making a foul
8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the
basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the
goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as
a goal.
9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the
person first touching it. In case of a dispute, the umpire shall throw it straight into the

11. The very first ball that was used was a
soccer ball until 1840 when an actual
“basketball” was invented. The basketball
was slightly smaller, about thirty inches in
diameter

12. The first baskets that were used were two
peach baskets that were hung from the
balcony of the gym
By 1906, the peach baskets were replaced
by metal baskets with holes in the
bottom.
In 1913, a hoop with a net was invented
so the basketball could fall freely to the
ground.

13. In 1893, due to the overzealous
spectators interfering with the basketball,
the backboard was invented. The first
backboard was constructed out of wire
mesh, and then wood and now it is made
out of glass so the backboard does not
interfere with the viewing of the game

14. In 1893, due to the overzealous
spectators interfering with the basketball,
the backboard was invented. The first
backboard was constructed out of wire
mesh, and then wood and now it is made
out of glass so the backboard does not
interfere with the viewing of the game

20. B. Basic skills in basketball
Unit II-TEAMS SPORTS

21. • Shooting
• Dribbling
• Passing
• Rebounding
• Running

22. Shooting
• The 1st basic skill to be learned is
shooting. Every basketball player
loves to shoot the ball! The most
practiced skill in the game is
shooting. Players spend a good
deal of their practice time on
shooting drills to improve their
skill level. After all, if you can't
shoot - you can't score! So, here’s
how you can improve your
shooting skills in basketball:
• Remember BEEF (Balance,Elbow,
Elbow, Follow Through) when
shooting the ball.

23. Dribbling
• It allows you to move around
the court while you’re in
possession of the ball. It is a
legal method that allows you to
advance with the ball and make
a score as opposed to that of
passing it to a teammate to
shoot it for the basket. This
move involves bouncing the ball
off the floor with your hands as
you cover the floor.

24. Passing
Basically, there are two types of pass:
• Air passes include chest pass-a
pass that originates from the chest
to the receiver’s chest level;
and overhead pass-a pass that
originates from the
forehead. With this pass, aim for
your teammate's chin. Don’t
bring the ball behind your head,
because it can get stolen and it
takes a split-second longer to
throw the pass.

25. Rebounding
• Rebounding is one of the major
aspects of the game. It is your
ability to jump with power to
gain possession of the ball as it
bounces to the rim after a failed
shot before it touches the floor.
Whenever you grab a rebound,
your team gains a chance to
shoot again while the other team
actually loses it. The difference is
double.

26. Running
• Running is one of the basic skills that
a basketball player should possess.
Because in this sport, speed defines
the best. Whether you’re on the
offensive or defensive side of the
game, passing, receiving, shooting or
rebounding a ball, you always have
to run in any way possible. Here are
some tips for you to improve your
running skills:

29. Court Dimensions
 The size of the court
depends on the playing
level. The size of the
court for NBA and
College games is 94 feet
long and 50 feet wide. It
is smaller for High
School and Junior High.
•

30. The Backboard and Rim
 The regulation height
above the ground for
the rim (hoop) is 10 feet,
and the rim is 18 inches
in diameter. Backboards
are six feet wide (72
inches) by 42 inches tall,
with the inner square
being 24 inches wide by
18 inches tall.

31. The Foul Line
 For all size courts the
'foul line' is 15 feet in
front of the backboard.

32. The Key
 The key is 12 feet wide,
and is the same for all
basketball courts. The
backboard extends four
feet out over the
baseline into the key. A
half circle of diameter 6
foot extends from the
foul line away from the
basket to complete the
key..

33. The 3-Point Line (Arc)
 For NBA Basketball
Courts the 3 point arc is
22 feet to the center of
the rim on the sides
with a straight line
extending out 16 feet 9
inches from the
baseline. Past those
points the line extends
out 23 feet 9 inches
from the center of the
rim.

34. Line Markings
 All line markings on the
floor are two inches
wide and can vary in
color.

35. The basket ball is an
inflated sphere with an
outer covering. It is 75 to
78 cm in circumference and
weighs 600-650 grams. It
must be made of leather in
the official FIBA
competitions.

36. Also called goal. It is made
up of horizontal circular
metal rim With a net
hanging from it. It is
mounted 3.05 m above
floor level.

37. The rigid rectangular board
behind the rim. Standard
widths are 24”-42”, 44:-48”,
60”-72”. above floor level.

38. High-topped shoes

39. D. Officiating Officials/Rules and Regulations of Basketball
Unit II-TEAMS SPORTS

40.  The makeup of the officiating
corps is strictly a matter of
choice. The minimum number
is five:
a referee,
an umpire,
a scorer,
a timer and
a shot-clock operator.
 In some cases, eight officials
are used in a lineup comprising
a referee, two umpires, a shot-
clock operator, two scorers and
two timers.

41.  The referee is the official that
controls the game. He is the
one who tosses the ball up for
the center jump at the start of
the game and each overtime
period.
 inspecting and approving all
equipment before the game's
starting time.
 power to make decisions (even
forfeit the game.

42.  During actual play, there is no
practical difference between
the referee and umpire(s). They
are equally responsible for the
conduct of the game; and,
because of the speed of play,
their duties are dictated
essentially by their respective
positions on the court from
moment to moment.

43.  When a foul occurs, the official is
required by the rules to;
(a) signal the timer to stop the clock,
(b) designate the offender to the
scorer and
(c) use his or her fingers to indicate
the number of free throws.
 When a team is entitled to a
throw-in, an official must ;
(a) signal what caused the ball to
become dead,
(b) indicate the throw-in spot
(except after a goal) and
(c) designate the team entitled to
the throw-in.

44.  Scorers must :
 (a) record, in numerical order, names
and numbers of all players,
 (b) record field goals made and free
throws made and missed, (c) keep a
running summary of points scored,
 (d) record fouls called on each player
and notify officials when a player
disqualification or bonus-free-throw
situation arises,
 (e) record timeouts and report when a
team' s allotted number has been
used, and
 (f) record when a squad member has
been ejected for fighting. It is the
game-clock and shot-clock operators'
responsibility to keep everyone abreast
of key factors while carrying out the
timing regulations.
