HISTORY & NATURE OF THE GAME
Basketball was invented in 1891 by James Naismith; a Canadian teacher. It was first played with a soccer-style ball and peach baskets as the goals. Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five players on the court (usually 2 guards, 2 forwards and 1 centre) each try to score points against one another by forcing a ball through a 10 feet (3m) high hoop. The ball can be advanced on the court by dribbling or passing it between teammates. Disruptive physical contact (fouls) is not permitted and there are restrictions on how the ball can be handled (violations).
