The document discusses the history and development of basketball. It notes that basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts. He created the game to be played indoors during the winter using a soccer ball and peach baskets. The rules and equipment have evolved since then. The text also outlines the key positions in basketball - point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center - and their typical roles on the court.

11. HISTORY
BASKETBALL CAME TO
EXISTENCE THROUGH THE
INGENUITY OF
DR. JAMES NAISMITH.

WINTER SPORT.

12. IT WAS FIRST
PLAYED IN
DECEMBER
21,1891 AT
SPRINGFIELD,
MASSACHUSET
S, YMCA

13. FIRST BALL USED WAS A
SOCCER FOOTBALL,
BECAUSE OF ITS ABILITY TO
BOUNCE UNIFORMLY.
FIRST BASKETS WERE
PEACH BASKETS
SUSPENDED FROM
TRADITIONAL RUNNING
TRACK OF SO MANY
GYMNASIUMS BUILT IN THAT
PERIOD.

14. HEIGHT OF THE
BASKETS WERE
DETERMINED BY
THE RUNNING
TRACK OR
BALCONY HEIGHT.

15. THE FIRST TEAM HAD
NINE PLAYERS, THREE
FORWARDS, THREE
CENTERS, AND THREE
GUARDS. LATER IT
BECAME OPTIONAL TO
REDUCE FIVE, AND
FINALLY FIVE WAS
SELECTED AS THE

16. AS LATE AS 1950, A TOTAL OF 16
FOREIGN NATIONS HAD HIRED
AMERICANS TO TEACH THE

CLINICS, AND ACT AS
CONSULTANTS IN SCHOOL AND
CITIES.

17. BASKETBALL WAS
FIRST USED IN
OLYMPIC GAMES IN
1936 IN BERLIN
WHERE THE UNITED

18. FACILITY AND
EQUIPMENT

LENGTH -28 METERS
WIDTH – 15 METERS

19. 2. BASKETBALL BALL-
THE OFFICIAL SIZE OF THE
BASKETBALL USED BY THE NBA
IS 29.5 INCHES IN
CIRCUMFERENCE. THE WNBA
USES A SLIGHTLY SMALLER
BALL, MEASURING 28.5
INCHES IN CIRCUMFERENCE.
BOTH SHOULD BE INFLATED
TO BETWEEN 7.5 AND 8.5
POUNDS PER SQUARE

20. 3. BACKBOARD, RING AND NET-
THE TOP OF THE HOOP IS 10 FEET
(305 CM) ABOVE THE GROUND.
REGULATION BACKBOARDS ARE 72
INCHES (183 CM) WIDE BY 42 INCHES

22. FIVE BASKETBALL POSITIONS
1. THE POINT GUARD (PG), ALSO
KNOWN AS THE ONE OR POINT, IS
TYPICALLY THE TEAM'S BEST BALL
HANDLER AND PASSER.

23. 2. THE SHOOTING GUARD (SG) IS
ALSO KNOWN AS THE TWO OR
THE OFF GUARD. SHOOTING
GUARDS ARE GOOD SHOOTERS
FROM THREE-POINT RANGE. HE
TEND TO HAVE GOOD BALL
HANDLING SKILLS AND THE ABILITY
TO DRIVE THE BALL TO THE BASKET,
OFTEN CREATING THEIR OWN
SHOTS OFF THE DRIBBLE.

24. 3. THE SMALL FORWARD (SF), ALSO KNOWN AS
THE THREE, IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST
VERSATILE OF THE MAIN FIVE BASKETBALL
POSITIONS. VERSATILITY IS KEY FOR SMALL
FORWARDS BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THEIR
ROLE, WHICH RESEMBLES THAT OF A SHOOTING
GUARD MORE OFTEN THAN THAT OF A POWER
FORWARD. THIS IS WHY THE SMALL FORWARD
AND SHOOTING GUARD POSITIONS ARE OFTEN
INTERCHANGEABLE AND REFERRED TO
AS WINGS.

25. 4. THE POWER FORWARD (PF), ALSO
KNOWN AS THE FOUR, OFTEN PLAYS A
ROLE SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE CENTER,
DOWN IN THE "POST" OR "LOW BLOCKS".
THE POWER FORWARD IS OFTEN THE
TEAM'S MOST VERSATILE SCORER, BEING
ABLE TO SCORE CLOSE TO THE BASKET
WHILE ALSO BEING ABLE TO SHOOT MID-
RANGE JUMP SHOTS FROM 12 TO 18 FEET
FROM THE BASKET.

26. 5. THE CENTER (C), ALSO KNOWN AS
THE FIVE OR THE PIVOT, USUALLY PLAYS
NEAR THE BASELINE, CLOSE TO THE BASKET
(THE "LOW POST"). THEY ARE USUALLY THE
TALLEST PLAYERS ON THE FLOOR. THE
CENTER USUALLY SCORES "DOWN LOW, IN
THE PAINT" (NEAR THE BASKET, IN THE KEY),
BUT SOME CAN BE GOOD PERIMETER
SHOOTERS. THEY ARE TYPICALLY SKILLED AT
GATHERING REBOUNDS, CONTESTING SHOTS
AND SETTING SCREENS ON PLAYS.
