This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only major sport strictly of U.S. origin, basketball was invented by James Naismith (1861-1939) on or about December 1, 1891, at the International Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) Training School (now Springfield College), Springfield, Massachusetts, where Naismith was an instructor in physical education.For that first game of basketball in 1891, Naismith used as goals two half-bushel peach baskets, which gave the sport its name. The students were enthusiastic. After much running and shooting, William R. Chase made a midcourt shot-the only score in that historic contest. Word spread about the newly invented game, and numerous associations wrote Naismith for a copy of the rules, which were published in the January 15, 1892, issue of the Triangle, the YMCA Training School's campus paper.While basketball is competitively a winter sport, it is played on a 12-month basis-on summer playgrounds, in municipal, industrial, and church halls, in school yards and family driveways, and in summer camps-often on an informal basis between two or more contestants. Many grammar schools, youth groups, municipal recreation centres, churches, and other organizations conduct basketball programs for youngsters of less than high school age. Jay Archer, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, introduced "biddy" basketball in 1950 for boys and girls under 12 years of age, the court and equipment being adjusted for size.

Download or read book Beginners Guide to Basketball written by Jesse Wilson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first basketball contest was played on December 21, 1891, with each team consisting of nine players. The objective was to send a soccer ball into an opponent-held peach basket. As the popularity of the game increased, modifications were made, such as modifying the receptacles so the ball could be recovered more easily. Over the subsequent decades, basketball's prominence grew not only in the United States but also internationally. In 1932, basketball was sanctioned for the first time for Olympic competition. Over the years, basketball's rules have evolved and been refined, with the 1954 addition of a shot clock being the most notable change. Today, basketball has a tremendous global following and is one of the most popular sports performed in professional leagues worldwide. It has had a profound impact on conventional society, permeating every artistic discipline, from fashion to music to film.
