1.1 Brief History of Basketball

Basketball was invented by James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts. The year was
1891, and as the story goes, Naismith was asked to come up with an indoor game that offered
fewer injuries than classic American gridiron football. He came up with a 9-on-9 game that
involved shooting a ball into a peach basket.
The Formation of FIBA - Federation Internationale de Basketball Amateur

the first decades of basketball, it was growing as a sport, but had no real international
organization. It took several petitions by basketball supporters to have basketball included as an
Olympic demonstration sport in 1904.

That all changed on June 18, 1932 when FIBA was first formed. The work of FIBA on the
international game would help to make basketball become an Olympic sport in 1936, which was
won by the US National Team.

1.2 About the Game

Basketball is played by two teams of five players each. The purpose of each team is to
shoot the ball into one's team basket and make a score and to prevent the opposing team from
securing the ball or from scoring. The ball may be passed, thrown, rolled, or dribbled in any
direction. The team with the most point at the end of the game wins.

A. Facilities
The playing area of basketball is called the
court. The court measures 28 meters long
and 15 meters wide. The surface can be
made of wood, concrete, or asphalt. The
playing court has two boundary lines. The

lines of the long sides are the sidelines and the

4
 TEAM SPORTS

short sides are the end line. The distance between these lines and the spectators should be
at least 2 meters. The court is divided by a centerline. It has three retraining circles and two
free-throw areas.
