What is It
Nature, Background and History of Basketball
Basketball is a game played between two teams of five players each on a rectangular court, usually
indoors. The objective of the game is to shoot a ball through a basket. It is one of the most popular and widely
viewed team sport in the world.
Shooting, passing, dribbling and rebounding are the commonly used techniques used in the game, as well as
different positions (player positioning) defensive and offensive structure and techniques; the “center,” “power
forward” or “small forward are the tallest players of the team, while “point guard” or “shooting guard” are the
shorter players of the team that possess the best ball handling skills and speed play.
It was invented by the Canadian clergyman, educator and physician James Naismith on or about
December 1891, at the International Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) Training School (now

8
Springfield College) in Springfield Massachusetts. It was Luther Halsey Gulick, Naismith’s supervisor and the
College’s first physical education director, who challenged Naismith to invent a new indoor game for the
school’s students to play during the long New England winter.
Basic Skills in Basketball

 Dribbling

It 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. This involves bouncing the ball off
the floor with your hands. Proper dribbling requires ballhandling
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.

Here are the tips on basic basketball dribbling:

• Use your fingertips to dribble, never the palm.

• Dribble on the side of your body, never bounce the ball in front repeatedly.
• Get used to bouncing the ball off the ground.
• Lower your body slightly so that the ball is bouncing rapidly at waist level.
• Look up when you are dribbling, not on the ground or on the floor.
• When switching the ball from one hand to another, bounce the ball across hard and quick.
• When changing direction, shift the momentum of your body towards that direction.

Shooting

The act of attempting to score points by throwing the ball

through the basket. It requires the ability to properly hold and throw
the ball into the air toward the basket while avoiding defenders.
A general procedure that all good basketball shooters more or less
follow:
 Half-bent your knees before shooting a basketball for more
potential power.
 Your dominant hand should have its fingers spread out.
 Only the fingertips should be gripping onto the ball.
 Your other hand supports the ball on the side.
 The ball should be brought above the head in one motion.
 At this point, the angles at your armpit, elbow, and wrist is at
90 degrees.
 While extending your knees, extend your forearm and your wrist.
 Make sure you follow through with your wrist movement. It feels
natural to jump upon release.
Tips on shooting a basketball:
 Always keep track of the distance between you and the hoop.
 Tuck your elbows inward towards each other when shooting.
 Shoot the basketball at an arc. It increases accuracy.
 Aim at the part inside the rim farthest from your standpoint.
 Use screens and offensive-plays to get open.
 Square up your shooting hand with the basketball hoop.
 Grip the basketball tightly with only your thumb and little finger.
 Aim with your index finger or middle finger only.
 Never hesitate due to the fear of a block shot.

9
Passing
Another skill that when mastered can help you become a
complete basketball player. A pass happens when one player throws
the ball to another player with a purpose of setting up a play or taking
a shot.
Points of emphasis in teaching passing:
 A good pass is a pass a teammate can catch.
 When passing, step toward your receiver.
 When catching, step toward the pass.
 Like shooting, the ball should have a backspin to it. This is accomplished
by following through on every pass.
Basic Passes
Chest Pass. The pass originates from the chest. It is thrown by gripping the ball on the sides with the
thumbs directly behind the ball. When the pass is thrown, the fingers are rotated behind the ball and
the thumbs are turned down.
Bounce Pass. Is thrown with the same motion however it is aimed at the floor. It should be thrown far
enough out that the ball bounces waist high to the receiver.
Overhead Pass. Is often used as an outlet pass. Bring the ball directly above your forehead with both
hands on the side of the ball and follow through. Do not bring the ball behind your head, because it
can get stolen and it takes a split-second longer throw the pass.
Rebounding
The objective of this is to successfully gain possession of the basketball after a missed field goal or
free throw, as it rebounds from the hoop or backboard. This plays a major role in the game, as most
possessions end when a team misses a shot. The team with the most possessions has a better chance of
winning.
How to rebound:
 Find a good position on the court.
 Get low to the ground.
 Spread your arms.
 Box out your opponent, if necessary.
 Jump towards the ball.
 Grasp the ball with both hands, if possible.
 Have a plan to pass the ball.
 Learn to anticipate missed shots.
Running
A big part of basketball, 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.
Tips to improve running:
1. Lean forward
2. Run on the balls of your feet
3. Swing your arms and hands from cheek to cheek (that is butt cheek to face cheek) along-side your
body – don’t allow your arms to cross-over in front of your body.
4. Always do a combination of dynamic stretching and warm-up activities.
Equipment and Facilities in Basketball
Every Filipino loves basketball. When you around the Philippines, you can see basketball courts even
in the small villages or provinces. Thus, we should be familiarized with the different equipment and facilities
used in Basketball.
Equipment in Basketball
1. Ball – a ball of basketball is most of the time made of leather
with the official size of 29.5 to 30 inches in circumference
for men’s game and 28.5 inches in circumference for women’s
game. It should weigh 18 to 22 ounces. When bounced off 6 feet from the floor, a well inflated ball should
bounce 49 to 54 inches in height.
2. Uniform - When one starts coaching a basketball team,

8
 the most important requirement for a team is to have a
uniform. This helps one in differentiating a team from
another. A uniform consists of a jersey (shirt), shorts,
numbers on the front and back of the shirts for identification.
3. Basketball sneakers - Basketball shoes help prevent injuries, in
part, by providing adequate ankle support. High-top sneakers
offer the best ankle support; these shoes should also lace up
to the top to help provide a snug fit.
4. Water Bottle - is a container that is used to hold water, liquids or
other beverages for consumption. The use of a water bottle allows
an individual to drink and transport a beverage from one place
to another. A water bottle is usually made of plastic, glass, or metal.

To avoid/prevent dehydration:
 Drink a cup of water 4 hours before the game and another half-cup of water for every 10 to 15
minutes while playing basketball.
 Replenish electrolytes like sodium and potassium which are lost through perspiration with sports
drinks or enhanced water.
 To lower your body temperature and reduce sweating use wet towels or a water mist on the skin.
 When you’re working out or exerting yourself, alcoholic and caffeinated beverages, such as coffee,
teas and soda, are not recommended for optimal hydration.
Facilities in Basketball
Court dimensions. The court is a flat, hard surface free from obstructions, 28m long and 15m wide,
measured from the inner edge of the boundary line.
At the backcourt is the team’s own basket, inbounds part of the backboard and the part of the playing
court limited by their own end line, side lines and center line.
The front court consists of the opponents’ basket, inbounds part of the backboard and the part of the
playing court limited by the end lines behind the opponents’ basket, side lines and inner edge of the center
line nearest to the opponents’ basket.

Lines
All lines are white, 5cm wide and clearly visible.

 What’s More

Engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activities may require one to exert much effort. These
physical activities require players to use their strength and muscle power in order to performed. In that case,
players may experience different temporary health conditions that may hinder them to perform these physical
activities at their best. These temporary health conditions may be the following

Dehydration - it is an abnormal depletion of body fluids. It happens when the body loses greater amount of
water than the amount being taken in. To avoid dehydration drink water before and after an exercise,
replenish the electrolytes, have a regular break and avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages.
Overexertion - it occurs when people push themselves too hard during a physical activity: sports and exercises;
motion control video games such as Nintendo Wii and PlayStation Move; and hobbies like woodworking,
building and remodeling. To avoid injuries because of overexertion, proper posture and the use of safe and
efficient workspaces, proper lifting techniques and lighter loads, and know your body limits should be
observed.
Hypothermia - is a condition of having an abnormally low body temperature, usually caused by prolonged
exposure to cold temperature. To avoid hypothermia, wear warm but breathable layers of clothing, pay
attention to shivering (if severe, stop exercising and go indoors), take several breaks in exercise to maintain
core body temperature, and bring extra clothes.
Hyperthermia - it occurs when the body's core temperature begins to rise. Stages of hyperthermia: heat stress,
heat fatigue and heat exhaustion. To avoid hyperthermia, take a regular break, drink adequate water, wear
comfortable clothing and find a shady place to rest.
