About Basketball
Basketball is a team sport, where the object of the game is to score points by passing a ball through a 10 ft high hoop. Players can advance the ball up court by dribbling or passing.
Basketball History
Basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in 1891. Dr. Naismith, the physical education professor at International Young Man's Christian Association Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, sought to create an indoor game to keep students fit during the long New England winters. The first games of basketball were played with a peach basket with no bottom. Dribbling the basketball was not part of the original game. The game of basketball quickly grew in popularity in the early 1900s. Beach baskets were replaced with metal hoops and backboards in 1906. From the very beginning, basketball was played by both women and men. The Basketball Association of America and National Basketball League merged to form The National Basketball Association (NBA), in 1949. By the 1950's basketball was a major college sport. Today, basketball is played at the youth, amateur, and professional level, worldwide. Women's basketball has also grown in recent decades to be a major spectator sport.
Basketball Tips
Basketball is a sport that one can practice by themselves or with a partner. Players can improve their ball handling, by dribbling around objects, practice dribbling using either hand, and dribbling with a ball in each hand. To work on passing players can use a wall and practice chest passes, bounce passes, over the head passes, one hand passes, and side passes. Good players practice taking a lot of shots from different angles and speeds.
In addition there are many basketball drills and basketball instruction available online and offline for players to hone their skills.
