    History of Basketball
    James Naismith,
    a Canadian physical
    education instructor
    invented basketball in
    1891. Back then the game
    was played with an
    ordinary soccer ball and
    peach baskets between 2
    teams of 9 players each.
    There were 13 rules.
     Soon metal rims replaced the peach
    baskets with netting underneath. Later
    people cut the netting so that the ball
    could go through.

     Senda Abbott first introduced basketball


    to woman in 1892.

     Professional basketball started in 1869


    in New Jersey, USA.
    How basketball is played
     Basketball is played by two teams who
    score points by throwing a ball into the
    opposing team's basket. The team who
    scores the most points are the winners.
     Each team has a squad of 12 players to choose
    from. Five of those players are allowed on the
    court at any one time, with unlimited
    substitutions.
     Players can move the ball around the court
    by passing, tapping, throwing, rolling or
    dribbling.
    Duration
     The game consists of four quarters of 10
    minutes each, with a 15-minute break at half-
    time.
     There are also two-minutes interval between the
    first and second periods, and between the third
    and fourth periods.
     If the game is tied after the fourth period, it
    continues with an extra period of five minutes,
    then as many five-minute periods as are
    necessary to break the tie.
    Main Officials
     Main officials include one referee and one
    umpire.
     The court is divided between them and they
    swap places after each foul involving a free
    throw penalty, as well as after each jump ball
    decision.
     They use whistles and hand signals to make
    and explain their decisions.
     Each game begins with a jump ball.
     The referee throws the ball into the air in the
    centre circle and two opposing players leap up
    and try to tap it away.
     Each player is allowed two taps before the ball
    hits the ground, a basket, a backboard or
    another player.
    Set of simple rules
     The ball may be thrown in any direction with
    one or both hands.

     A player cannot run with the ball.

     A player must throw it from the spot on which


    he catches it, or dribble the ball with one hand
    while they are running.

     The ball must be held by the hands.


     Shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping or
    striking in any way a player of the other team is
    allowed.
     A foul is striking the ball with the fist.
     A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or
    batted from the grounds into the basket and
    stays there, providing those defending the goal
    do not touch or disturb the goal.
     If the ball goes over the backboard, hits the side
    or the top of the backboard, then the ball is
    officially out of play.
    SCORING

     Points are scored for shooting the


    basketball through the hoop.
     Two points for a goal inside the three-
    point semi-circle, and three points for
    goals scored from outside.
     Free throws, taken from the free-throw
    line and awarded after a foul, are worth
    one point.
