Introduction
Welcome to PATHFIT 4: SPORTS. This course covers the history of the sports, terminologies, rules and regulations, facilities
and equipment and officials of the game. It includes competencies in techniques and strategies in playing sports.

B. HISTORY OF BASKETBALL

The game basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in 1891 in Springfield,
Massachusetts. He is a Canadian physical education instructor at McGill University (1887-1890)
and at YMCA’s (Young Men’s Christian Association) Training School (later Springfield College). Dr.
Naismith was a college professor who wanted to create a game that his physical education classes
could play inside during the long winters. The first games used peach baskets nailed to the wall for
rims.

The first ball used was a soccer ball. In 1893, he replaced the peach basket with iron
hoops and a hammock-style basket. The concept of the game is for each competing team to
throw the ball into the opponent’s basket, and the team with the greatest number of basket
or shots at the end of 2 halves (consisting 15 minutes) wins. Dr. Naismith introduced first
thirteen rules and regulations in 1897, and the first contest was played on December 21,
1891. Women Playing Basketball start in 1930’s.

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

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

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 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 that side.

made. He shall have power to disqualify men according to Rule 5.
