Basketball
Is a game played between two
teams of five players each on a
rectangular court, usually
indoors.
Each team tries to score by
tossing the ball through their
team mate and shoot into an
elevated horizontal hoop and net
called a basket.
When was
basketball
invented?
Basketball was invented by James
Naismith on or about December 1, 1891,
a t t h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l Yo u n g M e n ’ s
Christian Association (YMCA) Training
School, Springfield, Massachusetts,
where Naismith was an instructor in
physical education.
 How does
basketball
exercise your
body?
 It is a dynamic sport that builds
stamina from the short sprints
required of running up and down the
length of the court.

Movements distinct to basketball,

such as jumping to take a shot or
grab a rebound, require frequent
muscle contractions, which can build
muscular endurance.
What was the
influence of
television on
basketball?
Basketball grew steadily but slowly
in popularity and importance in the
United States and internationally in
t h e f i r s t t h r e e d e c a d e s a f t e r Wo r l d
Wa r I I ( 1 9 3 9 - 1 9 4 5 ) a s r e s u l t o f
television exposure. However, with
the advent of cable television, the
g a m e ’s p o p u l a r i t y e x p l o d e d a t a l l

 Important Notes
• A soccer ball (football) was used for
the first two years.
• In 1894, the first basketball was
marketed. It was laced, measured close
to 32 inches (81 cm), or about 4 inches
(10cm) larger then the soccer ball, in
circumference, and weighed less than
20 ounces (567 grams)
 Important Notes
• Naismith with his colleagues formed
their own rules committee in 1905, and
by 1913 there were at least five sets of
rules: those used by state militia
groups and two varieties of
professional rules.
• Te a m s o f t e n a g r e e d t o p l a y u n d e r a
different set for each half of a game to
e s t a b l i s h s o m e m e a s u r e o f u n i f o r m i t y.
