  2. History of Basketball • Basketball was invented in December 1891, by James Naismith. • The first basketball was a soccer ball. • The first baskets were wooden peach baskets hung on the walls! • The game was originally played with nine men on each team. • About 1895, a number of U.S. colleges adopted the game. • The first professional league was formed in 1898.

  3. Fundamentals • Shooting--Shooting is a fun skill to practice.To be a good shooter, youmusthave great form. If you have good form, your shooting will become easier and more accurate.

 • Ball Handling--To have great ball handling, you should always have total control of the ball. Good ball handling skills are important for every position.

 • Rebounding--If a team wants to win, every person on the floor must rebound. If one person does not do their job, the whole team will suffer. Rebounding is all about hard work.

  4. The Objective The objective of the game is to score more points than the opposing team.

  5. Starting the game • The game of basketball consists of 48 minutes of playing time, which is divided into four 12 minute quarters. • Each team is allowed to have five players on the court at a time. • During the tip-off, the referee tosses the ball up so one player from each team can try to tap the ball to a teammate.

  6. Scoring • You can score between one and three points per shot. • A free throw is worth 1 point, a basket in front of the three point line is 2 points, and 3 points for a shot behind the 3-point line.

  7. More Rules • If you have the ball, you must dribble to move on the court. • You can not push the ball away from the basket when someone else has taken a shot and it is going down into the basket. This is called goal tending.

  8. Dribbling Rules • You can not dribble, pick up the ball, and then start dribbling again. • You must pass it to someone else. • You are not allowed to dribble the ball across the half court line and then go back again.

  9. Fouls • You can not charge into a person. • You can not hit, push, kick, or hurt another player. This is known as fouling. • If you have 6 fouls, you can no longer play in the game. This is called fouling out. • If you foul someone, the other team gets the ball on the out-of-bounds line. • If you foul someone while they are shooting, they get 2 free throws.
