History There's a lot of history about basketball like how it
was invented in December 1891 by the Canadian clergyman, educator,
and physician James Naismith. The game involved elements of
American football, soccer, and hockey, and the first ball used was
a soccer ball. The first pro league, the National Basketball
League, was formed in 1898 to protect players from exploitation and
to promote a less rough game. This league only lasted five years
before disbanding; its demise spawned a number of loosely organized
leagues throughout the northeastern United States. One of the first
and greatest pro teams was the Original Celtics, organized about
1915 in New York City. They played as many as 150 games a season
and dominated basketball until 1936. The Harlem Globetrotters,
founded in 1927, a notable exhibition team, specializes in amusing
court antics and expert ball handling.

How the sport is played/Rules Basketball involves the use of a
basketball court, ball and basketball hoops and is played by
attempting to score points for each time the basketball is
successfully thrown at the hoop and goes through. Basketball is a
team sport requiring a minimum of five players per team. Each
person fills one of five positions consisting of two forwards, two
point guards, and one center.
Slide 4
Playing field/Court/facilities In basketball, the basketball
court is the playing surface, consisting of a rectangular floor
with baskets at either end. In professional or organized
basketball, especially when played indoors, it is usually made out
of a hardwood, often maple, and highly polished. Other indoor
surfaces include suspended plastic interlocking tiles. Outdoor
surfaces used include plastic interlocking tiles (suspended
athletic courts), asphalt, blacktop, or similar materials are used.
Amateur players would typically use tarmac as the surface
Slide 5
Number of players during game Basketball is a team sport in
which two teams of five players try to score points by throwing or
"shooting" a ball through the top of a basketball hoop while
following a set of rules. Basketball is one of the most popular and
widely viewed sports in the world.
Slide 6
How has technology changed the way we play/view this sport A
scoreboard is a large board for publicly displaying the score in a
game or match. Most levels of sport from high school and above use
at least one scoreboard for keeping score, measuring time, and
displaying statistics. Scoreboards in the past used a mechanical
clock and numeral cards to display the score. When a point was
made, a person would put the appropriate digits on a hook. Most
modern scoreboards use electromechanical or electronic means of
displaying the score. In these, digits are often composed of large
dot-matrix or seven- segment displays made of incandescent bulbs,
light- emitting diodes, or electromechanical flip segments. An
official or neutral person will operate the scoreboard, using a
control panel.
Slide 7
Governing Bodies and legislation that impacts the sport The
Director of Government Relations (Director) oversees and has
primary responsibility for the public policy and agency
partnerships of Governing Body. The Director works with Congress,
federal agencies, and conservation and recreation partners to shape
public policy and legislation affecting hiking. The Director
establishes and manages Governing Body's agency partnerships and
agreements at the federal, state and local level.
