Fitness is a very important component of success in basketball. Of course, you generally need to be
tall and have good skills, but you also need the right physical fitness attributes. Players require excellent
strength and power, running speed, balance and agility, as well as a good level of aerobic endurance fitness.
The component of fitness most important for success in Basketball. Out of the options of Body Size
and Composition, Muscle Strength, Muscular Endurance, Power, Speed, Quickness, Agility, Flexibility,
Balance and Coordination, and Cardiovascular Endurance, the factors which are considered most important
are speed and agility, though there are votes for most of the fitness components indicating that basketball
requires good all round fitness
abilities.

Basketball is a team sports. It is played by two competing teams. The objective of the game is to score in
the opponents basket and prevent the other team from scoring. The basket that is attacked by a team is the
opponent’s basket. The basket which is defended by a team is the team own’ s basket. The team that has
scored the greater number of points at the end of playing time shall be the winner

NATURE AND BACKGROUND OF BASKETBALL

Basketball is a team sport, wherein the objective is to shoot a ball through a basket horizontally
positioned to score points while following a set of rules. Usually, two teams of five players play on a marked
rectangular court with a basket at each width end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely
viewed sports. A regulation basketball hoop consists of a rim 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high mounted
to a backboard. A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. A
field goal scores two points for the shooting team if a player is touching or closer to the basket than the three-
point line, and three points (known commonly as a 3-pointer or three) if the player is behind the three point
line. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) may be issued
when the game ends with a draw. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it while walking or
running (dribbling) or throwing (passing) it to a team mate. It is a violation to move without dribbling the ball
(travelling), to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling (double dribble). Various
violations are generally called "fouls".

Disruptive physical contact (a personal foul) is penalized, and a free throw is usually awarded to an
offensive player if he is fouled while shooting the ball. A technical foul may also be issued when certain
infractions occur, most commonly for unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of a player or coach. A technical
foul gives the opposing team a free throw, and the opposing team is also retained possession of the ball.
Basketball has evolved many commonly used techniques of shooting, passing, dribbling, and rebounding,
as well as specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures (player positioning) and
techniques. Typically, the tallest members of a team will play "center", "power forward" or "small forward"
positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed play "point
guard" or "shooting guard". While competitive basketball is carefully regulated, numerous variations of
basketball have developed for casual play. Competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport played on a
carefully marked and maintained basketball court, but less regulated variations are often played outdoors in
both inner city and remote areas.
HISTORY
Basketball was invented in December 1891 by the Canadian clergyman, educator, and physician
James Naismith. Naismith introduced the game when he was an instructor at the Young Men's Christian
Association Training School (now Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the request of his
superior, Dr. Luther H. Gulick, he organized a vigorous recreation suitable for indoor winter play. The game
involved elements of American football, soccer, and hockey, and the first ball used was a soccer ball. Teams
had nine players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets affixed to the walls. By 1897-1898, teams of
five became standard. The game rapidly spread nationwide and to Canada and other parts of the world,
played by both women and men; it also became a popular informal outdoor game. U.S. servicemen in World
War II (1939-1945) popularized the sport in many other countries. A number of U.S. colleges adopted the
game between about 1893 and 1895. In 1934 the first college games were staged in New York City's Madison
Square Garden, and college basketball began to attract heightened interest. By the 1950s basketball had
become a major college sport, thus paving the way for a growth of interest in professional basketball. The
first pro league, the National Basketball League, was formed in 1898 to protect players from exploitation and
to promote a less rough game. This league only lasted five years before disbanding; its demise spawned a
number of loosely organized leagues throughout the north eastern United States. One of the first and greatest
pro teams was the Original Celtics, organized about 1915 in New York City. They played as many as 150
games a season and dominated basketball until 1936. The Harlem Globetrotters, founded in 1927, a notable
exhibition team, specializes in amusing court antics and expert ball handling. In 1949 two subsequent
professional leagues, the National Basketball League (formed in 1937) and the Basketball Association of
America (1946) merged to create the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Boston Celtics, led by their
center Bill Russell, dominated the NBA from the late 1950s through the 1960s. By the 1960s, pro teams from
coast to coast played before crowds of many millions annually. Wilt Chamberlain, a center for the Los Angeles
Lakers, was another leading player during the era, and his battles with Russell were eagerly anticipated.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, also a center, came to prominence during the 1970s. Jabbar perfected his famed "sky
hook" shot while playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and dominated the opposition.
The NBA suffered a drop in popularity during the late 1970s, but was resuscitated, principally through
the growing popularity of its most prominent players. Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, and Magic Johnson of
the Los Angeles Lakers are credited with injecting excitement into the league in the 1980s through their
superior skills and decadelong rivalry. During the late 1980s Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls rose to
stardom and helped the Bulls dominate the NBA during the early 1990s. A new generation of basketball stars,
including Shaquille O'Neal of the Orlando Magic and Larry Johnson of the Charlotte Hornets, have sustained
the NBA's growth in popularity. In 1959 a Basketball Hall of Fame was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Its rosters include the names of great players, coaches, referees, and people who have contributed
significantly to the development of the game.

Basic Skills in Basketball (How they are properly executed)

Shooting

The first basic skill to be learned is shooting. Every basketball player loves to shoot the ball! The most
practiced skill in the game is shooting. Players spend a good deal of their practice time on shooting drills to
improve their skill level. After all, if you can't shoot - you can't score!
So, here’s how you can improve your shooting skills in basketball:
• Remember BEEF (Balance Elbow, Elbow, Follow Through) when shooting the ball.
• Be relaxed and concentrate on the basket.
• Know when you have a good shot and then take it.
• Be in proper balance when shooting the ball.
• Follow through on every shot you take.
• Jump naturally.
• “Up, hang, shoot!” is an easy way to remember this. Make sure you have an arc on every shot you
take.
• Be relaxed when shooting free throws.
• Practice all of your shots.
Dribbling
Dribbling in basketball is a skill that you should master. It allows you to move around the court while
you’re in possession of the ball. It is a legal method that allows you to advance with the ball and make a score
as opposed to that of passing it to a teammate to shoot it for the basket. This move involves bouncing the ball
off the floor with your hands as you cover the floor. This is how it’s done:
• Dribble the ball with hand and use only the tips of your finger in dribbling it.
• Employ the wrist and the forearm to push the ball while covering the court.
• Don’t involve the whole hand to avoid losing control of the ball.
• Don’t keep your fingers in touch with each other while dribbling.
• Spread your fingers to allow full control of the ball as it dribbles.
• Dribble the ball in one side of your body and not right in front.
• While dribbling in one hand, use the other hand to drive your defender away from the ball.
Passing
Basketball is a team game. By definition, that means all players are involved with the process of playing
the game and should function as one. One of the primary skills created to accomplish this is passing. It is a
skill that maximizes the involvement of all player in setting up a play to earn successful shots and earn points
for the whole team. To learn more about passing, read and practice as instructed below:
• Basically, there are two types of pass: air pass and bounce pass. Air pass travels between players
without hitting the floor. Bounce pass is thrown to the floor so that it bounces to the intended receiver.
• Air passes include chest pass-a pass that originates from the chest to the receiver’s chest level; and
overhead pass-a pass that originates from the forehead. With this pass, aim for your teammate's chin.
Don’t bring the ball behind your head, because it can get stolen and it takes a split-second longer to
throw the pass.
• In executing bounce passes, calculate about 3/3 distance from the receiver as the hitting point so that
the ball bounces right to your receiver. But for better accuracy, you have to experiment by yourself
because the bounce is directly proportional with how strong the ball hits the floor.
• A good pass is a pass a teammate can catch.
• When passing, step toward your receiver.
• When catching, step toward the pass.
• Like shooting, the ball should have a backspin to it. This is accomplished by following through on every
pass.

Rebounding
Rebounding is one of the major aspects of the game. It is your ability to jump with power to gain
possession of the ball as it bounces to the rim after a failed shot before it touches the floor. Just how important
is rebounding? Whenever you grab a rebound, your team gains a chance to shoot again while the other team
actually loses it. The difference is double. So, how to make a good rebound, here’s how...
• Practice good footwork and vertical leap or jumps.
• Anticipate where the ball will land.
• The longer the shot or the harder the rim, the farther the bounces.
• When a shooter is a soft shooter, this means he always takes time to put an arc on his shots, the ball
bounces near the ring.

• When a shooter is a hard shooter, this means there’s a little or no arc on his shots, then the ball
bounces far from the ring.

• Leg power and strong body are needed in rebounding that’s why it is essential that strength and power
exercises should be considered to conditioning your body.
Running
Running is one of the basic skills that a basketball player should possess. Because in this sport, speed
defines the best. Whether you’re on the offensive or defensive side of the game, passing, receiving, shooting
or rebounding a ball, you always have to run in any way possible. Here are some tips for you to improve your
running skills:
• Always have a good pair of playing shoes.
• Always do a combination of dynamic stretching and warm-up activities across the court before going
out to play a game. These exercises have already been introduced to
• you when you were in Grade 7 but in case you have forgotten them already, here they are:
Dynamic Stretching
• Toe Walk
• Shuffle
• Heel Walk
• Back Pedal
• Inch Walk
• Jogging
• High Knees
• Carioca
• Butt Kicks
• Jumping jacks
