Dribbling was not part of the rules of the first basketball games. The moment you
caught a ball, you had to throw it to another player to move the game along.
That changed in 1897 when dribbling became part of the game.

Lesson 1: History and Development of Basketball Worldwide

History
Basketball is an exciting game in the 20th century. It was invented by Dr. James
Naismith in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Dr. Naismith was a student of
Dr. Luther Gulick of the International YMCA Training School when the latter
assigned his students the task of devising a game that can be played indoors
during wintertime.

The first ball used was a soccer ball and a peach basket with a hoop. Two peach
baskets were mounted in a balcony of the gymnasium to which the ball was tossed.
After a goal was made, a player had to climb up the ladder to retrieve the ball.
Then, a pole was kept nearby to push the ball up through the ring. Later, someone
thought that the bottom of the net can be made open and the ball could drop
through.

Dr. Naismith formulated the rules for men’s basketball and in 1899, the Division for Girls and Women’s Sports
formulated rules for women’s basketball. In 1933, men’s rules were standardized by a newly formed National
Basketball Committee of the U.S.A. and Canada. The original girls’ team was composed of 5 to 9 players.
About the Game
Basketball is played by two teams of five players each. The purpose of each team is to shoot the ball into one's
team basket and make a score and to prevent the opposing team from securing the ball or from scoring. The ball
may be passed, thrown, rolled, or dribbled in any direction. The team with the most point at the end of the game
wins.

Basketball in the Philippines

Basketball was introduced in the Philippines during
the American colonial period with the first American teachers
teaching the sport along with baseball through the YMCA and
the school system. Basketball was first introduced to the
Philippine public-school system by the Americans as a
women's sport in 1910 and was played in Interscholastic meets
in 1911 until 1913. Women's basketball met opposition from
conservative groups, particularly the Catholic Church who
view bloomers worn by women basketball players as
inappropriate. By the time skirts could be worn above
bloomers as a compromise, women's basketball was already
in decline and was only played in provincial and local interscholastic meets. Indoor softball and as well as
volleyball became the more preferred sport for Filipino women.

The Court
The playing area of basketball is called the court. The court measures 28 meters long and 15 meters wide. The
surface can be made of wood, concrete, or asphalt. The playing court has two boundary lines. The lines of the
long sides are the sidelines and the short sides are the end line. The distance between these lines and the spectators
should be at least 2 meters. The court is divided by a centerline. It has three retraining circles and two free-throw
areas.

The Ball
The official ball is round with a circumference of 74.9 cm to 78 cm. it shall weigh
not less than 567 grams and not more than 650 grams (Provido, 1998). In
competition, a leather ball is used.

Number of players and substitution

There are five players on the court for each team. The coaches can substitute fresh
players at any time, from one player up to five at a time. There are no limitations on
how many times in the game substitution can be made and many times a player can

come in and out of the game. Substitution can be made only on a dead ball when the referee blows the whistle
and play stops. You can substitute after the first of two free throws and after the last free throw, but you can't
substitute before the first free throw. The only player for whom you can't substitute is the player shooting at the
free-throw line.

Time
College games last 40 minutes, divided into two 20-minute halves.

The Baskets
Each basket consists of a rim with a net attached to a backboard, which is attached to structural support, like a
pole. Each team has its basket at one end of the court.

Scoring
When a player shoots and scores from anywhere inside the 3-point arc, it counts as 2 points. Any shot made by
the shooter's feet outside the 3-point arc counts as 3 points. 2-point shots and 3-point shots are field goals. Free
throws are awarded to a player who has been fouled, is worth 1 point. If the team mistakenly scores at the wrong
basket, the basket counts for the other team.
 Moving the Ball
When a team has possession of the ball, it tries to move the ball close
to the other team's basket for a good scoring opportunity. Players can
advance the ball by dribbling and passing it to a teammate. When they
throw the ball at the basket to try to score, they are shooting the ball.

Defending the Basket

When a team does not have possession of the ball, it defends its
basket. Players can gain possession of the ball from the team at any
time through stealing dribbles and getting defensive rebounds.

III. Lesson Proper

Instruction: Identify the following common shooting fouls presented below. Write
you answer on the space provided.
 Rules about Fouls

The rules about fouls are designed to keep the game

from getting too rough and to penalize players who
violate the rules. Each time a foul is committed; the
referee blows the whistle and plays stops. The referee
uses a hand signal to indicate what the foul was and
calls out the number of the player who committed the
foul.

Personal fouls happen when a player makes physical contact with an opponent in a manner not allowed by the
rules. Some of the most common no shooting fouls are the following:

• Reaching across a player’s body with your arm

• Holding a player
• Blocking a player who is driving to the basket by getting in her way and knocking off her path.
• Charging foul is when he dribbles into a defender who has established position and is no longer moving
• Pushing a player
• Tripping a player

Three other kinds of Personal Fouls

1. Intentional Foul happens when a player makes illegal contact with an opponent and is trying to incur a
foul. Two free throws are awarded to the player who was fouled.
2. A flagrant foul is called for excessive roughness, such as punches, kicks, or fights with another player.
The referee has the right to eject the offending player from the game.
 3. A technical foul can be addressed to a player or a coach at the referee's discretion for various
unsportsmanlike actions, including profanity, insulting the referee, and throwing the ball at the player.
The penalty for a technical foul is that a player from the other team shoots three free throws without
anyone standing along the sides of the lane, then, that player's team will inbound the ball from their end
of the court.

Each player is allowed a maximum of five personal fouls per game. Players who foul out can’t come back
into the game. Team fouls are totals of the personal fouls each team accumulates during a half. There’s no
limit to the number of team fouls a team can accumulate. At the end of the first half, the team foul total for
each team resets to zero.

Other Rules
Here are the other basic rules of the game. If a player on your team violates
any of these rules, your team immediately gives up possession of the ball
to the other team.

1. 10-second backcourt call

2. 5-second closely guarded call
3. 5-second call on the dribbler
4. 5-second call on the bounder
5. 3-second lane violation
6. Backcourt violation
7. Traveling
8. Double dribble palming

The Positions
Basketball players fall into one of two general categories: guards (perimeter players), who play away from the
basket along the 3-point arc area, and forwards (or posts), who play near the basket and around the free-throw
line. Each player is assigned a position to play.

1. Point Guard or 1 4. Power Forward or 4

2. Shooting Guard or 2 5. Center or 5

3. Small Forward or 3
