Nature, Background and History of Basketball

Basketball is a game played between two teams of five players each

on a rectangular court, usually indoors. The objective of the game is to
shoot a ball through a basket. It is one of the most popular and widely
viewed team sport in the world.

Shooting, passing, dribbling and rebounding are the commonly used

techniques used in the game, as well as different positions (player
positioning) defensive and offensive structure and techniques; the
“center,” “power forward” or “small forward are the tallest players of the
team, while “point guard” or “shooting guard” are the shorter players of
the team that possess the best ball handling skills and speed play.

It was invented by the Canadian clergyman, educator and physician

James Naismith on or about December 1891, at the International Young
Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) Training School (now Springfield
College) in Springfield Massachusetts. It was Luther Halsey Gulick,
Naismith’s supervisor and the College’s first physical education director,
who challenged Naismith to invent a new indoor game for the school’s
students to play during the long New England winter.

Basic Skills in Basketball

Dribbling
It is an important skill for all
basketball players. This skill will allow you
to move up and down the court, maneuver
past defenders and execute plays. This
involves bouncing the ball off the floor
with your hands. Proper dribbling requires
ballhandling skills and knowledge of how
to spread your fingers for ball control. It is
also best if you know how to dribble
equally well with both hands.

Here are the tips on basic basketball dribbling:

4
 • Use your fingertips to dribble, never the palm.
• Dribble on the side of your body, never bounce the ball in front
repeatedly.
• Get used to bouncing the ball off the ground.
• Lower your body slightly so that the ball is bouncing rapidly at waist
level.
• Look up when you are dribbling, not on the ground or on the floor.
• When switching the ball from one hand to another, bounce the ball
across hard and quick.
• When changing direction, shift the momentum of your body towards
that direction.
Shooting
The act of attempting to score points by throwing the ball through
the basket. It requires the ability to properly hold and throw the ball into
the air toward the basket while avoiding defenders. A general
procedure that all good basketball shooters more or less follow:

• Half-bent your knees before shooting a basketball for more potential

power.
• Your dominant hand should have its fingers
spread out.
• Only the fingertips should be gripping onto the
ball.
• Your other hand support the ball on the side.
• The ball should be brought above the head in
one motion.
• At this point, the angles at your armpit, elbow,
and wrist is at 90 degrees.
• While extending your knees, extend your
forearm and your wrist.
• Make sure you follow through with your wrist
movement. It feels natural to jump upon
release.

Tips on shooting a basketball:

5
 • Always keep track of the distance between you and the hoop.
• Tuck your elbows inward towards each other when shooting.
• Shoot the basketball at an arc. It increases accuracy.
• Aim at the part inside the rim farthest from your standpoint.
• Use screens and offensive-plays to get open.
• Square up your shooting hand with the basketball hoop.
• Grip the basketball tightly with only your thumb and little finger.
• Aim with your index finger or middle finger only.
• Never hesitate due to the fear of a block shot.
Passing

Another skill that when mastered can

help you become a complete
basketball player. A pass happens
when one player throws the ball to
another player with a purpose of
setting up a play or taking a shot.
Points of emphasis in teaching
passing:

• A good pass is a pass a

teammate can catch.
• When passing, step toward your receiver.
• When catching, step toward the pass.
• Like shooting, the ball should have a backspin to it. This is
accomplished by following through on every pass.

Basic Passes

Chest Pass. The pass originates from the chest. It is thrown by

gripping the ball on the sides with the thumbs directly behind the ball.
When the pass is thrown, the fingers are rotated behind the ball and
the thumbs are turned down.

Bounce Pass. Is thrown with the same motion however it is aimed at

the floor. It should be thrown far enough out that the ball bounces
waist high to the receiver.

6
 Overhead Pass. Is often used as an outlet pass. Bring the ball directly
above your forehead with both hands on the side of the ball and follow
through. Do not bring the ball behind your head, because it can get
stolen and it takes a split-second longer throw the pass.

Rebounding

The objective of this is to successfully gain possession of the

basketball after a missed field goal or free throw, as it rebounds from the
hoop or backboard. This plays a major role in the game, as most
possessions end when a team misses a shot. The team with the most
possessions has a better chance of winning.

How to rebound:

• Find a good position on the court.

• Get low to the ground.
• Spread your arms.
• Box out your opponent, if necessary.
• Jump towards the ball.
• Grasp the ball with both hands, if possible.
• Have a plan to pass the ball.
• Learn to anticipate missed shots.

Running

A big part of basketball, you will find yourself running back and
forth as the game quickly transitions between offense and defense. When
you have the ball, running will help you to avoid defenders and get to the
basket quicker. On defense, you often will find yourself needing to run
after the opponent, especially during fast breaks.

Tips to improve running:

1. Lean forward
2. Run on the balls of your feet

7
 3. Swing your arms and hands from cheek to cheek (that is butt cheek
to face cheek) along-side your body – don’t allow your arms to cross-
over in front of your body.
4. Always do a combination of dynamic stretching and warm-up
activities.

Equipment and Facilities in Basketball

Every Filipino loves basketball. When you around the Philippines,
you can see basketball courts even in the small villages or provinces.
Thus, we should be familiarized with the different equipment and
facilities used in Basketball.
Equipment in Basketball
1. Ball – a ball of basketball is most of the time made
of leather with the official size of 29.5 to 30 inches
in circumference for men’s game and 28.5 inches
in circumference for women’s game. It should
weigh 18 to 22 ounces. When bounced off 6 feet
from the floor, a well inflated ball should bounce
49 to 54 inches in height.

2. Uniform - When one starts coaching a

basketball team, the most important requirement
for a team is to have a uniform. This helps one in
differentiating a team from another. A uniform

consists of a jersey (shirt), shorts, numbers on

the front and back of the shirts for identification.
3. Basketball sneakers - Basketball shoes help
prevent injuries, in part, by providing adequate
ankle support. High-
top sneakers offer the best ankle support; these
shoes should also lace up to the top to help
provide a snug fit.

8
 4. Water Bottle - is a container that is used to hold
water, liquids or other beverages for consumption.
The use of a water bottle allows an individual to
drink and transport a beverage from one place to
another. A water bottle is usually made of plastic,
glass, or metal.

To avoid/prevent dehydration:

 Drink a cup of water 4 hours before the game and another half-cup
of water for every 10 to 15 minutes while playing basketball.
 Replenish electrolytes like sodium and potassium which are lost
through perspiration with sports drinks or enhanced water.
 To lower your body temperature and reduce sweating use wet towels
or a water mist on the skin.
 When you’re working out or exerting yourself, alcoholic and
caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, teas and soda, are not
recommended for optimal hydration.

Facilities in Basketball

Court dimensions. The court is a flat, hard surface free from

obstructions, 28m long and 15m wide, measured from the inner edge of
the boundary line.

At the backcourt is the team’s own basket, inbounds part of the

backboard and the part of the playing court limited by their own end
line, side lines and center line.

The front court consists of the opponents’ basket, inbounds part of the
backboard and the part of the playing court limited by the end lines
behind the opponents’ basket, side lines and inner edge of the center line
nearest to the opponents’ basket.

Lines
All lines are white, 5cm wide and clearly visible.

 Engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activities may require
one to exert much effort. These physical activities require players to use
their strength and muscle power in order to performed. In that case,
players may experience different temporary health conditions that may
hinder them to perform these physical activities at their best. These
temporary health conditions may be the following
Dehydration - it is an abnormal depletion of body fluids. It happens
when the body
loses greater
amount of water
than the amount
being taken in. To
avoid dehydration
drink water before
and after an
exercise, replenish
the electrolytes,
have a regular
breaks and avoid
alcoholic and
caffeinated
beverages.

Overexertion - it
occurs when people
push themselves
too hard during a
physical activity:
sports and
exercises; motion
control video
games such as
Nintendo Wii and
PlayStation Move;
and hobbies like woodworking, building and remodeling. To avoid
injuries because of overexertion, proper posture and the use of safe and
efficient workspaces, proper lifting techniques and lighter loads, and
know your body limits should be observed.

Hypothermia - is a condition of having an abnormally low body

temperature, usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperature.
To avoid hypothermia, wear warm but breathable layers of clothing, pay
attention to shivering (if severe, stop exercising and go indoors), take
several breaks in exercise to maintain core body temperature, and bring
extra clothes.

Hyperthermia - it occurs when the body's core temperature begins to

rise. Stages of hyperthermia: heat stress, heat fatigue and heat
exhaustion. To avoid hyperthermia, take a regular break, drink adequate
water, wear comfortable clothing and find a shady place to rest.
