Introduction to Team Sports


A team sport is an activity in which individuals on the same team, work
together to win. It promotes fair play and builds character of an individual.
Basketball, volleyball, baseball and other team sports emphasize the necessity
of
working together to achieve goals. Players learn first-hand to achieve success
through hard work, perseverance, and consistency. The reward in playing the
game
is shown by planning from practice to playing the game--win or lose.
These are three team sports that you be will learning in your grade level
namely: basketball, volleyball and baseball. Basketball is a team sports for
players
tries to score points by throwing a ball through high hoop. Volleyball is a game
that
challenges the players’ skills in the use of hands and agility in jumping,
twisting,
reaching, and hitting. Baseball is a team sport played between two to nine
players
team. The objective or goal in baseball is to score runs.
Team sports help students develop character and skills. Teamwork is a skill
we use our whole life. So it is important to learn the basic early. Playing team
sports at young age allows children to participate in social activities, interact
and
work together, to achieve goals and build skills such as teamwork and
leadership.

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 paly. 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
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 than 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.
Moreover, the opposing team retains 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 structure (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 by James Naismith, Canadian clergyman, educator,
and physician in Springfield, Massachusetts on December 1891. The first ball
used was a soccer ball played by 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 worldwide 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 WWII (1939-1945) popularized the sport in many
other
countries.
Basketball was introduced in the Philippines during the American colonial
period with the first American teachers teaching the sport along with baseball
through the YMCA and the school system. Basketball was first introduced to the
Philippine public school system by the Americans as a women's sport in 1910
and
was played in interscholastic meets in 1911 until 1913. Women's basketball met
opposition from conservative groups, particularly the Catholic Church who
view
bloomers worn by women basketball players as inappropriate. By the time skirts
were allowed to be worn above bloomers as a compromise, women's basketball
was already in decline and was only played in provincial and local
interscholastic
meets. Indoor softball as well as volleyball became the more preferred sport for
Filipino women.
The first men's national team – organized in the 1910s – won the first Far
Eastern Championship Games in 1913. In all but one of the ten editions of the
games, the national team won the gold medal.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which had basketball as
its main sport, was established in 1924.
The Philippines became a member of FIBA through the Basketball
Association of the Philippines in 1936. The Philippines made their debut in
the Olympic Games in 1936 where they finished fifth, the best result of an
Asian
team in Olympic basketball history. In the same year, the first basketball stamp
in
the world was released by the country. The first commercial league was the
basketball tournament of the Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic
Association (MICAA) which was established in 1938.
The Philippines became an independent country in 1946, and in the 1950s,
the national team did well in international tournaments. The Philippine team
won
the gold medal at the Asian Games in 1951, the first-time basketball was
played. The Philippine basketball team dominated the Asian Games until 1962.
In
the 1954 FIBA World Championship the Philippines placed third, winning the
bronze medal, the best performance by an Asian team in the World
Championship.
After missing the first FIBA Basketball World Cup (known through 2010 as
the FIBA World Championship) that was held in 1950 in Argentina, the
Philippines
participated in the 1954 FIBA World Championship held at Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil.
The Philippines finished with a 5–2 win-loss record in the Final Round games,
and
captured the bronze medal. The third place-finish is still currently the best finish
by an Asian country in the World Cup. Carlos Loyzaga finished as the world
tournament's third leading scorer (148 points/16.4 points per game) and was
named in the FIBA World Mythical Five Selection. In the 1960s, the first FIBA
Asia Championship was won by the Philippines with Carlos Badion as the
tournament's Most Valuable Player.
Meanwhile, the Philippines won the right to host the third FIBA World
Championship, but were suspended after then-President Diosdado Macapagal,
father of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, refused to issue visas to
players from communist countries (notably basketball powerhouse Yugoslavia
and
the Soviet Union).
The Philippines' dominance in sport waned after Carlos Loyzaga's retirement,
and had performed poorly in the Olympic Games where the national team was
unable to break into top-10 positions. However, the country continued to play
competitively in the Asian and World Championships.
The commercial league model pioneered by the MICAA continued with
the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) in 1975 and the Philippine
Amateur
Basketball League (PABL) in 1983. The PBA is the first professional basketball
league in Asia and the second oldest in the world after the NBA. The league's
regulations are a hybrid of rules from FIBA and the NBA. The league was
inaugurated on April 9, 1975. The PABL was established to fill the void created
after the collapse of the MICAA in 1981.
In 1978, the Philippines hosted the FIBA World Championship, marking the
first time that the international tournament was held in Asia.
The Philippines was suspended by FIBA in 2005 due to a leadership crisis
which affected the former national basketball association of the country –
the Basketball Association of the Philippines.
In 2007, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas became the newly recognized
national basketball body for the Philippines by FIBA.
