The game was created In 1891 to condition young athletes during the winter. The equipment’s included a picnic basket at first and a soccer style ball. He published 13 rules for the new game. He halved his class of 18 into 2 teams of 9 players each and set about to teach them the fundamentals and rules of his new game. The aim of his new creation was to throw the ball into the baskets nailed to the lower railing of the gym balcony. Every time a point was scored, the game was halted so the janitor could bring out a ladder and retrieve the ball. After they had enough of climbing the ladder to get the ball down, the bottoms of the baskets were removed. The first public basketball game was played in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 11, 1892.
