The document provides information about various sports including basketball, table tennis, volleyball, and their basic rules. It describes that basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith to keep athletes active indoors, and involves teams of 5 players trying to score by shooting a ball through an elevated hoop. Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a racquet sport played by two or four players who hit a lightweight ball back and forth over a net using small rackets. Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams of 6 players separated by a net, where each team aims to ground the ball on the opponent's court under organized rules.

2. BASKETBALL

3. The game basketball as it
is known today was
created by DR. JAMES
NAISMITH in December
1891 in Springfield
Massachusetts, to
condition young athletes
during cold months. it
consisted of peach
baskets and a soccer style
ball.

4. •Basketball, game
played between two
teams of five players
each on a rectangular
court, usually indoors.
Each team tries to score
by tossing the ball
through the opponent’s
goal, an elevated
horizontal hoop and net
called a basket.

5. The 5 position
There are 5 positions in the game
of basketball:
 POINT GUARD
 SHOOTING GUARD
 SMALL FORWARD
 POWER FORWARD
 CENTER

6. Common terms used in basketball include the
following:
Blocking
Any illegal personal contact that impedes the progress
of an opponent who does not have the ball.
Dribble
Ball movement by bouncing the ball. A dribble ends
when a player touches the ball with both hands
simultaneously or does not continue his dribble.
Held ball
Called when two opponents have one or two hands so
firmly upon the ball that neither can gain possession
without undue roughness. It also is called when a
player in the frontcourt is so closely guarded that he
cannot pass or try for a goal or is obviously withholding
the ball from play.

7. TABLE TENNIS

8. Table tennis, also known as ping-pong and
whiff-whaff, is a sport in which two or four
players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the
ping-pong ball, back and forth across a table
using small rackets. The game takes place on a
hard table divided by a net. Except for the
initial serve, the rules are generally as follows:
players must allow a ball played toward them
to bounce one time on their side of the table,
and must return it so that it bounces on the
opposite side at least once. A point is scored
when a player fails to return the ball within the
rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions.
Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits
an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great
advantage.

9. Table tennis, sometimes known as "ping pong" is a
miniaturized version of outdoor or lawn tennis. A
dynamic indoor racquets sport played world wide,
table tennis had an inauspicious beginning; the sport
had its origins in England in the late 1800s as a parlor
game known as "Whiff Waff," an activity played on
dining room tables for recreation.The sport
originated in Victorian England, where it was played
among the upper-class as an after-dinner parlour
game.It has been suggested that makeshift versions
of the game were developed by British military
officers in India around the 1860s or 1870s, who
brought it back with them.The name "ping-pong"
was in wide use before British manufacturer J.
Jaques & Son Ltd trademarked it in 1901. The name
"ping-pong" then came to describe the game played
using the rather expensive Jaques's equipment, with
other manufacturers calling it table tennis

10. – . A similar situation arose in the United States, where Jaques sold the rights to
the "ping-pong" name to Parker Brothers. The next major innovation was by
James W. Gibb, a British enthusiast of table tennis, who discovered novelty
celluloid balls on a trip to the US in 1901 and found them to be ideal for the
game. This was followed by E.C. Goode who, in 1901, invented the modern
version of the racket by fixing a sheet of pimpled, or stippled, rubber to the
wooden blade.

11. VOLLEYBALL

12. Volleyball is a team sport
in which two teams of six
players are separated by
a net. Each team tries to
score points by grounding
a ball on the other team's
court under organized
rules. It has been a part
of the official program of
the Summer Olympic
Games since Tokyo 1964.

13. Volleyball, game played by two teams,
usually of six players on a side, in
which the players use their hands to
bat a ball back and forth over a high
net, trying to make the ball touch the
court within the opponents' playing
area before it can be returned.
Teams will play 3 sets to 21 with a cap
at 23 (40 min matches), or 3 sets to 25
with a cap at 27 (60 minute matches)
using “All Rally Score” scoring. All Rally
Score scoring means that every time a
point is finished, one team will be
awarded a point, whether they served
or not. You must win by 2 clear points.

14. A number of consistent
techniques have evolved in
volleyball, including spiking
and blocking (because these
plays are made above the
top of the net, the vertical
jump is an athletic skill
emphasized in the sport) as
well as passing, setting, and
specialized player positions
and offensive and defensive
structures.

15. – Here’s a simple break down of all the most important rules of volleyball:
– There is a maximum of 6 players on one side of the court at all times. There should be three players situated in the front row to the net and three
players in the back row.
– The maximum number of touches per side is 3. That means you can only hit the ball (or contact it) at most 3 times before having to hit the ball over
the net to the other side.
– The objective of the game is to send the volleyball over to the opposing team’s side of the net so that the other team cannot send the ball back to
your own side.
– Every game begins with a server who will serve the ball over from one side of the court to the other.
– When the receiving team wins a volley that team gains the right to serve on the next play and all players on the receiving team will rotate clockwise
one position.
– A point is earned whenever the opposing team cannot return the ball to the other side within 3 hits or when they allow the ball to drop to the
ground. This is one way to win a volley.
– When a team “kills”/hits the ball onto the opponent’s court, then a point is rewarded to that team. This is another way to win a volley.
– The point is only valid if the ball touches the ground within the painted boundaries. If the ball hits the boundary lines, then a point is rewarded to
your team. If the ball hits the outside of the lines, then your opponents will score a point.
