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 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.

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.

4
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 support 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.
5
 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.

6
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.

7
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.
