Basketball Module
Module 1 – Basketball
In this module, student will be introduced to basketball game. International & national
history and early development is the part. Facilities and equipment, rules and regulation and basic
skills are also included. The referees hand signal is the last topic in this module.
More than other game, basketball is truly American in Origin. In addition, it is probably
the only major sports “invented” for a specific purpose.
After his graduation in 1890, Naismith decided to his life in athletics and went to
Springfield College as an instructor in physical education. When the football season ends, there
was a sudden lag in student interest. Springfield, a forerunner in physical education, tried to use
the Swedish, German, and French methods of body training but the students found them dull and
boring.
The students protested to Dr. Luther Gulick, Dean of the Department of Physical Training,
concerning the overdose of the irrelevant calisthenics type of activities presented by the instructors.

Educators at the school were bothered by the problem and tried to come up with something
new. Naismith, along with several other instructors, was given classes to handle with a free rein
to experiment and try anything that would solve the problem. The time limit was two weeks. At
the end of that time, if nothing concrete was
developed, they would go back to the old strict
formula of exercising.
Naismith then drew up the thirteen original rules, which described, among other facets, the
method of moving the ball and what constituted a foul. A referee was appointed. The game would
be divided into two, fifteen-minute halves with a five-minute resting period in between. Naismith’s
secretary typed up the rules and tacked them on the bulletin board. A short time later, the gym

Physical Education 104 – Team Sports (BASKETBALL and Volleyball)
class met, and the teams were chosen with three centers, three forwards, and three guards per side.
Two of the centers met at mid-court, Naismith tossed the ball, and the game of “basket ball” was
born.
Word of the new game spread like wildfire. It was an instant success. A few weeks after
the game was invented, students introduced the game at their own YMCAs. The rules were printed
in a College magazine, which was mailed to YMCAs around the country. Because of the College’s
well-represented international student body, the game of basketball was introduced to many
foreign nations in a relatively short period of time. High schools and colleges began to introduce
the new game, and by 1905, basketball was officially recognized as a permanent winter sport.
The rules have been tinkered with, but by-and-large, the game of “basket ball” has not
changed drastically since Naismith’s original list of “Thirteen Rules” was tacked up on a bulletin
board at Springfield College.
1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.
2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but never with the fist.
3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he
catches it, allowance to be made for a man running at good speed.
4. The ball must be held in or between the hands. The arms or body must not be used for
holding it.
5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, striking or tripping in any way of an opponent. The
first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul; the second shall
disqualify him until the next goal is made or, if there was evident intent to injure the
person, for the whole of the game. No substitution shall be allowed.
6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violations of Rules 3 and 4 and such as
described in Rule 5.
7. If either side make three consecutive fouls it shall count as a goal for the opponents
(consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul).
8. Goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the ground into the basket and
stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball
rests on the edge and the opponents move the basket, it shall count as a goal.
9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field and played by the first
person touching it. In case of dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The
thrower-in is allowed five seconds. If he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any
side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on them.
10. The umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when
three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have the power to disqualify men
according to Rule 5.
11. The referee shall be the judge of the ball and decide when it is in play in bounds, to which
side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made and
keep account of the goals with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee.
12. The time shall be two 15-minute halves with five minutes' rest between.
13. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winners.

The game basketball grew and Naismith was pleased. It made him happier when he learned
that basketball was accepted by various church groups in the country as regular winter sports.
The game was exported to Europe in 1893 where it has been played ever since. The sports
made its Olympic debut at the Berlin Games in 1936; one year after this first European
Championship was organized by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA)
PHILIPPINES HISTORY
Prior to the 1900s basketball was virtually an unknown sport in the Philippines. Due to
the massive influence Spain brought during their 300-year colonization of the islands, Filipinos
are more into cockfighting and other forms of social gambling.
There are also indigenous Filipino martial arts such as the Arnis de Mano. Cockfighting,
gambling and Arnis de Mano dominated the Philippine sports landscape.
However, all of that would change in the 1900s. The entry of the Americans into the
Philippine archipelago marked the birth of basketball in the Philippines. Filipinos easily
embraced basketball due to its competitive and action-packed nature.
It was also during the time of American colonization when the first-ever Philippine
national basketball team was formed. The team competed in the first ever Far Eastern
Championship Games which was incidentally held in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines.
The Philippines also participated in the first ever Olympic basketball tournament,
finishing fifth with a 4-1 win-loss record. The Philippine team won against Italy, Estonia,
Mexico and Uruguay but failed to upset the eventual champion Team USA.
College and universities also started to embrace the sport of basketball, incorporating the
sport in their physical education curriculum. Similarly, the collegiate leagues the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the University Athletic Association of the
Philippines were established in 1924 and 1938 respectively.
In 1948, the Philippines became the first basketball team to score at least 100 points in
Olympic competitions, outclassing Iraq, 102-30.
During the 1950s, the Philippines unleashed the legendary tandem of Lauro Mumar and
Carlos Loyzaga, resulting into neck-to-neck battle against basketball some of the top powerhouse
teams of the world including the US and the Soviet Union.
The Philippines finished third in the 1954 FIBA World Champions courtesy of Mumar
and Loyzaga. The dynamic duo also led the Philippines to several Asian Games gold medals
during the decade.

During the 1960s, Philippine basketball became more concentrated in the collegiate and
Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association (MICAA) wars that feature the likes of
Sonny Jaworski and Ramon Fernandez.
In 1975, the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) was established. It was the first
play-for-pay basketball league in Asia. The early years of the PBA saw the rivalry of Jaworksi’s
Toyota Super Corollas against the Atoy Co-fueled Crispa Redmanizers.
The succeeding years of Philippine basketball saw the emergence of newer and fresher
basketball talents from the likes of Ricardo Brown, Ato Agustin, Allan Caidic, Benjie Paras and
Hector Calma to the later generations of Danny Seigle, Danny Ildefonso, Kenneth Duremdes,
Asi Taulava and Mark Caguioa.
Today, basketball still remains as the number one sport in the Philippines. Despite
competition from emerging sports such as the rejuvenated badminton and the football-powered
Azkals, the sport of basketball will forever remain etched in the hearts and minds of the sports-
loving Filipino people.
Basketball is a game played by two teams of five players. Each team tries to score points
by tossing the ball into the opposing team’s basket. They may use only their hands to control the
ball, and are not allowed to run while holding it. A field goal counts 2 points, 3 points if it is
thrown from outside the 3-point line. A free throw is worth 1 point. The team with possession of
the ball must lunch an attack within the following limits.
• After taking possession of the ball, they have 8 seconds to move the ball forward across
the mid-court line, and 24 seconds to take a shot at the basket;
• A player who is hemmed in by an opponent must move the ball by dribbling, throwing or
passing it within 5 seconds.
Basketball is played on hard court, which is rectangular in shape with sidelines, end lines,
center-circle, and centerline drawn, parallel to the ends lines.
A team’s front court us that part of the court between the end line behind the opponent’s
basket and the nearer edge of the centerline. The other part of the court, including the centerline,
is the team’s backcourt. A free throw line is drawn parallel to each time.
The basket is composed of the ring and the net. A game consists of two halves of 20
minutes (or four quarters with 10 minutes each), with an interval of 10minutes between halves.
The game is started by the referee who tosses the ball up for a center jump between two opponents
in the center circle

If the score is tied at the game, play is continued for an extra period of 5 minutes. A goal
is made when live ball enters the basket from above and passes through.

A substitute becomes a player when the official beckons him to enter the playing court. A
player becomes a substitute when the official that player’s replacement into the playing court.
The five (5) players on a team play both attack and defense. When their team has the ball,
they are attacking; when their opponents have the ball, they are defending. Because possession of
the ball can change rapidly, all players must be alert so that they can quickly switch between attack
and defense.
Positions of Players
1. Guards (also called point guard or playmaker). Should be good dribblers and passers.
They direct the attack and start most of the moves. Some teams have a point guard, who
has the major ball handling responsibilities. The other guard is the shooting guard and is
often the team’s best shooter.

2. Forwards are generally taller and stronger than guards. Forwards usually play in the area
from the end line to the free throw lane. They should be good rebounders and be able to
maneuver for shots close to the baskets. Forwards are expected to be good middle and long
distance shooters and to and to score baskets from penetration.
3. Center is usually the team’s tallest player and best rebounder. A center who is a good
rebounders and scorer can dominate the game. Most of the goals they score are from close
range shots and from rebound situations.

4. Overhead pass – This is a valuable pass over the defense. The position of the ball allows
the passer to show the ball and use pass fakes. Teach players to keep the ball up by
throwing to a high target. This pass is hard
to handle when dropping. For more
power, players should step forward
with the pass.

Catching Principles
- Catching the basketball requires a player to be ready – potential pass receivers
should be in basic position with both hands up
- Players should catch the ball in the air whenever possible
- The receiver should catch the ball with both feet in the air and come a quick
stop.
- These insure body control, ball possession, and quick return to basic position.
- The receiver should always catch the ball with both hands
Three methods of catching the ball:
1. Two hands up (thumbs together) catch for passes above the waist.
2. Two hands down (thumbs apart) catch for passes below the waist
3. The block and tuck catch for passes to the side
D. Dribbling - is the way to progress with the ball by an individual player, in order to get
free from his opponents or to get in a good passing or shooting position
- It is the continuous bouncing of the ball. The dribble starts when the player
in control of the ball takes the first bounce and concludes when the ball comes
to rest in one or both hands.
- It is a touch skill, not a sight skill. Player should learn to dribble up the court
without watching the ball.
- The primary objective is to create a move that allows a player to pass to a
teammate for a score.
Types of Dribbling

2. High or Speed dribble. A high dribble is usually used during a counter-
offensive. A player in the clear can move
faster while bouncing the ball at waist or
shoulder height.

Rebounding Tools
Rebounding requires discipline. The keys to rebounding are determination and technique
although height and jumping ability are advantages.
Certain personal attitudes are advantageous to players to players acting as team rebounders.
Players, who are tall, have long arms, large hips, and well-developed leg and upper-body
musculature are going to have an advantage over other players and become a good materials as the
team’s rebounders.

TIPS TO REMEMBER
1. Dribble only when necessary to set-up a shot or pass.
2. Move the ball by passing rather than dribbling. It is faster.
3. Practice being able to pass and catch the ball with no wasted motion. This is essential to
an effective offense.
4. Improve your shooting form and concentration.
5. Become proficient at lay-ups and other short-range, high percentage shot before working
or more difficult shots.
6. Practice most often those shots you expect to get in games as a result of you teams
offensive patterns
7. Be aware of floor balance. Your team should always have been one or more rebounders
when a shoot is taken and one player back on defense to prevent an easy fast break basket
by the opponents.
8. Make an extra effort to get the inside position on opponents at both ends of the court to
improve your rebounding.
9. Learn to position yourself on defense as not to lose sight of either the ball or the person
being guarded.
10. Work on proper physical conditioning. It is as important to be able to get from one end
of the court to the other and back again as it is to play to play good offense and defense.
11. Remember that basketball is a team sport. The best individual players do not always
make the best team players. Good team players develop an ability to help others play
their peak performance.
