BASKETBALL GAME
HISTORY
Basketball is built into the fabric of Springfield

College. The game was invented by Springfield College
instructor and graduate student James Naismith in 1891,
and has grown into the worldwide athletic phenomenon we
know it to be today.
The game of basketball as it is known today was

created by Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 in
Springfield, Massachusetts, to condition young athletes
during cold months. Naismith was a physical education
instructor at YMCA International Training School (now
known as Springfield College) in Springfield,
Massachusetts. Upon the request of his boss, Naismith was
tasked to create an indoor sports game to help athletes
keep in shape in cold weather. It consisted of peach
baskets and a soccer style ball. He published 13 rules for the new game. He divided his
class of eighteen into two teams of nine players each and set about to teach them the
basics of his new game. The objective of the game was to throw the basketball into the
fruit baskets nailed to the lower railing of the gym balcony. Every time a point was
scored, the game was halted so the janitor could bring out a ladder and retrieve the ball.
After a while, the bottoms of the fruit baskets were removed. The first public basketball
game was played in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 11, 1892.
RULES
Naismith's original rules
There were only thirteen rules of "basket

ball":
1. The ball may be thrown in any

direction with one or both hands.
2. The ball may be batted in any
direction with one or both hands.
3. A player cannot run with the ball, the
player must throw it from the spot on
which he catches it, allowance to be
made for a man who catches the ball
when running at good speed.
4. The ball must be held in or between the hands, the arms or body must not be
used for holding it.
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 person shall
count as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or if
there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no
substitute.
6. A foul is striking the ball with the fist, violation of rules 3 and 4, and such as
described in rule 5.
7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls it shall count a goal for opponents.
8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from grounds into the
basket and stays there. If the ball rests on the edge 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 and played by
the person first touching it. In case of a dispute, the umpire shall throw it straight
into the field. The "thrower-in" is allowed five seconds. If he holds it longer it shall
go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall
call a foul on them.
10. The umpire shall be the judge of the men and shall note the fouls, and notify the
referee when three consecutive fouls have been made.
11. The referee shall be the judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in
play, in-bounds, and to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall
decide when a goal has been made and keep account of the goals with any other
duties that are usually performed by a referee.
12. The time shall be fifteen-minute halves, with five-minute rests between.
13. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In the
case of a draw, the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until
another goal is made.
Rules for the offense
The basketball team on offense is the team with the basketball. When a player has the
basketball there are certain rules they must follow:
1. The player must bounce, or dribble, the ball with one hand while moving both
feet. If, at any time, both hands touch the ball or the player stops dribbling, the
player must only move one foot. The foot that is stationary is called the pivot foot.
2. The basketball player can only take one turn at dribbling. In other words, once a
player has stopped dribbling they cannot start another dribble. A player who
starts dribbling again is called for a double-dribbling violation and looses the
basketball to the other team. A player can only start another dribble after another
player from either team touches or gains control of the basketball. This is usually
after a shot or pass.
3. The ball must stay in bounds. If the offensive team looses the ball out of bounds
the other team gets control of the basketball.
4. The players hand must be on top of the ball while dribbling. If they touch the
bottom of the basketball while dribbling and continue to dribble this is called
carrying the ball and the player will lose the ball to the other team.
5. Once the offensive team crosses half court, they may not go back into the
backcourt. This is called a backcourt violation. If the defensive team knocks the
ball into the backcourt, then the offensive team can recover the ball legally.
Defensive Rules
The team on defense is the team without the basketball.
1. The main rule for the defensive player is not to foul. A

foul is described as gaining an unfair advantage
through physical contact. There is some interpretation
that has to be made by the referee, but, in general, the
defensive player may not touch the offensive player in
a way that causes the offensive player to lose the ball
or miss a shot.
Rules for everyone

1. Although the foul rule is described above as a defensive rule, it applies exactly
the same to all players on the court including offensive players.
2. Basketball players cannot kick the ball or hit it with their fist.
3. No player can touch the basketball while it is traveling downward towards the
basket or if it is on the rim. This is called goaltending. (touching the ball on the
rim is legal in some games).
SCORING
In a game of basketball there are three clear ways to score points:
1. If a shot is successfully scored from outside of the three-point line, three

points are awarded.
2. If a shot is successfully scored from inside of the three-point line, two points
are awarded.
3. If a team is awarded a technical foul then they will receive between one and
three free shots. Each shot scored will be awarded with one point.
SKILLS
The Five (5) Basic Skills of Basketball:
1. Dribbling – Dribbling is an important skill for all basketball players. This skill will
allow you to move up and down the court, maneuver past defenders and execute
plays. Proper dribbling requires ball-handling skills and knowledge of how to
spread your fingers for ball control. It is also best if you know how to dribble
equally well with both hands.
2. Shooting – In order to score points in basketball, you need to shoot the ball into
the hoop. This requires the ability to properly hold and throw the ball into the air
toward the basket while avoiding defenders. A proper shot requires precise
aiming, arm extension and lift from the legs. There are different types of shots
you need to learn, including jump shots, layups and free throws.
3. Running – Running is a big part of basketball. In a full-court game, you will find
yourself running back and forth as the game quickly transitions between offense
and defense. When you have the ball, running will help you to avoid defenders
and get to the basket quicker. On defense, you often will find yourself needing to
run after the opponent, especially during fast breaks.
4. Passing – Passing is another skill that when mastered can help you become a
complete basketball player. Basketball is a team sport that involves finding a
teammate who is open for a shot. The ability to pass the ball to this player can
make the difference between scoring and not scoring. Really great passers are
an important part of a basketball team and usually the ones who set up scoring
plays.
5. Jumping – Jumping is another skill that can define how good a basketball player
is. Jumping is involved in offense during the jump ball in the beginning, while
taking shots and sometimes while trying to catch a pass. On defensive you will
need the ability to jump when trying to block a shot or a pass. Being able to out
jump your opponent for a rebound also is important.
