The Origins and Fundamentals of Basketball

The first page introduces the historical foundation and basic structure of basketball. Dr. James Naismith developed the game at Springfield College during 1891-92, establishing the iconic 10-foot basket height that remains standard today. The game quickly spread through YMCA networks both domestically and internationally, achieving Olympic status by 1936.

Highlight: The game's name literally derives from its original equipment - a ball and basket.

The fundamental gameplay involves two five-player teams competing to outscore each other, with specific rules governing player movement and ball possession. The page also outlines crucial safety guidelines and basic rules for proper gameplay.

Definition: A pivot foot is the foot that must remain in contact with the floor while a player has possession of the ball, unless shooting, passing, or dribbling.

Example: Standard positions include 2 forwards, 2 guards, and 1 center, though these can vary based on offensive strategy.

Vocabulary: Field Goals are shots made during active play, worth either 2 or 3 points, while Free Throws are uncontested shots worth 1 point.
