2. In 1891 Dr James Naismith (1861-1939) , a YMCA instructor
in Springfield invented Basketball.
James Naismith was the Canadian physical education
instructor. James Naismith was born in Almonte, Ontario and
attended McGill University and Presbyterian College in
Montreal.
Naismith was faced with the problem of finding a sport that
was capable for the students to play inside during the
Massachusetts winter at Christian Workers. Naismith wanted
to create a game of skill for the students instead of one that
relied on strength. He needed a game that could be played
indoors in a small space. The first game was played with a
soccer ball and two peach baskets used as goals. Naismith
joined the University of Kansas faculty in 1898, teaching
physical education and being a chaplain.

6. Basketball is a team sport. Two teams of
five players each try to score by shooting a
ball through a hoop elevated 3.01m above
the ground. The game is played on a
rectangular floor called the court, and there
is a hoop at each end. The court is divided
into two main areas by the mid-court line. If
the offensive team puts the ball into play
behind the mid-court line, it has ten seconds
to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it
doesn't, then the defense gets the ball.
Once the offensive team gets the ball over
the mid-court line, it can no longer have
possession of the ball in the area in back of
the line. If it does, the defense is given the
ball.
7. The ball is moved down the court toward
the basket by passing or dribbling. The
team with the ball is called the offense.
The team without the ball is called the
defense. They try to steal the
ball, contest shots, deflect passes and
shots, and collect rebounds.
When a team scores a basket, they
score two points and the ball goes to the
other team. If a basket, is made outside
of the three-point line, then that basket
is worth three points. A free throw is
worth one point. Free throws are
awarded to a team according to the
number and type of fouls that are
committed.
8. Charging. An offensive foul that is committed
when a player pushes or runs over a defensive
player. The ball is given to the team that the
foul was committed upon.
Personal fouls: Personal fouls include any Blocking. Blocking is illegal personal contact

two free throws if the shot doesn't go
in, but only one free throw if it does go in. Intentional foul. When a player makes
physical contact with another player with no
reasonable effort to steal the ball. It is a
judgment call for the officials.
Technical foul. Technical foul. A player or a
coach can commit this type of foul. It does
not involve player contact or the ball but is
instead about the 'manners' of the game. Foul
language, obscenity, obscene gestures, and
even arguing can be considered a technical
foul.
9. Travelling. Taking more than 'a step and a half' without dribbling the ball is travelling. Moving
your pivot foot once you've stopped dribbling is travelling.
Carrying. When a player dribbles the ball with their hand too far to the side of or even under the
ball.
Double Dribble. Dribbling the ball with both hands on the ball at the same time or picking up
the ball and then dribbling again is a double dribble.
Jump ball. This occurs when two or more opposing players gain possession of the ball at the
same time.
Goal tending. When a defensive player interferes with the offense’s shot as its is coming down
towards the basket. Once the ball has touched the basket or backboard the players can steal the
ball from the rim. If this occurs two points are awarded to the offense.
Cross court violation. Once the offense has brought the ball across the mid-court line, they
cannot go back across the line during possession.
Time restrictions. A player passing the ball inbounds has five seconds to pass the ball. If he
does not, then the ball is awarded to the other team.
10. Positions Power Forward: Has muscles or at least a little
strength. Must be able to catch passes and hit
shots near the basket. A good, rugged
rebounder, but athletic enough to move with
some quickness around the lane on offense
and defense. Expected to score when given the
opportunity on the baseline, much like a
center, but usually has a range of up to 15 feet
all around the basket.
Point Guard: Usually
the shortest player on
the team. Should be

primarily a shooter.

21. Michael Jeffrey Jordan, also known by his
initials, MJ, is an American former
professional basketball player and perhaps
one of the greatest basketballers of all
time. He was born on February 17, 1963, in
Brooklyn, New York. and dominated the
sport from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s
.He led the Bulls to six national
championships and earned the NBA Most
Valuable Player Award five times.
Michael Jordan is recognized for having
brought a new level of excitement to the
game of basket ball and reinvented the way
basketball is played.
22. Jordan experienced many great highs in his
career and with those great highs came great
lows. His most difficult time was when his
father was murdered. He retired from
basketball and start playing baseball. However a
year later he returned to the sport he loved and
brought the Chicago Bulls out of their one year

This determination and competitive nature
continues to inspire the next generation of
basketball players all around the world.

25. I began playing basketball when I was in
year 1 in in the local Qurindi Infants
competition. It was by far my favourite
sport and I continued playing it in Quirindi
until my family moved to Tamworth when I
was in year 3.
When I was in year 4 I joined Tamworth
representative basketball as a player in
the under 12 Thunderbolts team. I have
continued to play both school and
representative basketball in Tamworth
and would have to say that it is still my all
time favourite sport.
