Physical Education Department 3º ESO - PE Workbook - IES Joan Miró – Physical Education Department BASKETBALL HISTORY In 1981, James Naismith, a Physical Education teacher of the YMCA school (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts (USA) decided to invent a game to be played inside the gyms during the cold winter . The game couldn’t be as rough as American Football but it had to be a physical activity with high intensity to keep his students fit. After a lot of thinking he invented a game, in which the players had to put the ball inside a basket, (the original baskets were used to store peaches!!!!). In this game, the players threw a soccer ball to each other. In the rules that Mr. Naismith invented, the teams had 9 players, the contact between players wasn’t allowed and you couldn’t walk without bouncing the ball. The game soon spread to other U.S. schools and universities. It was in 1896 when the 5 on 5 matches started. In the early twentieth century, basketball competitions and leagues were set up all over North America. The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) was founded in Geneva in 1932. The National Basketball Association (NBA) was formed in 1949. THE COURT (28m x 15m) The COURT is a flat, rectangular surface with baskets at opposite ends. The court is divided into two main sections by the mid- court or centre line. THE BALL The size of the BASKETBALL depends on the category and gender. For men, the official ball is size 7, and for women the official basketball is size 6. 1 3º ESO - PE Workbook - IES Joan Miró – Physical Education Department MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GAME Basketball is a team sport. Teams include twelve players, but only five can be on court at one time. The team that makes more points wins. Points are scored by throwing the ball through the basket / hoop of the opposing team. When a team makes a basket, they score two points and the ball goes to the other team. If a basket is made outside of the three-point line, then that basket is worth three points. A free throw is worth one point. If the score is tied at the end of the last quarter, then overtime periods (5 minutes) are played until one team wins. The game is played in four periods, each of 10 minutes of real playing time. (NBA games are played over four quarters of 12 minutes). Players can be substituted as often as the coach likes. Each coach has a limited number of time-outs they can call during a game, and the game clock is stopped whenever play stops. The game begins in the center of the court with a “jump-ball” between two players (one from each team). The team with the ball is called the offense and the team without the ball is called the defense. Each team is assigned a basket to defend. This means that the other basket is their scoring basket. At halftime, the teams switch baskets. The ball is moved down the court toward the basket by passing or dribbling. The referees (officials) control the game. PLAYER POSITIONS 1. Point guard or “playmaker 2. Shooting guard 3. Small forward or forward 4. Power forward 5. Center 2 3º ESO - PE Workbook - IES Joan Miró – Physical Education Department VIOLATIONS AND FOULS The ball can be moved by throwing it to another player (passing) or by bouncing it with one hand while running or walking (dribbling). Double Dribble - When a player stops dribbling, holds the basketball, and then starts dribbling again (it is necessary to pass or shoot the ball). Also when a player dribbles the ball with two hands at the same time. Traveling - If a player moves both feet without bouncing the ball. Also when you move your pivot foot once you've stopped dribbling. Jumping and landing without doing anything with the ball (you should shot or pass the ball) is traveling too. Over-and-Back - When a player crosses over the midcourt line into the frontcourt and then crosses back into the backcourt. Held ball - Occasionally, two or more opposing players will gain possession of the ball at the same time. In order to avoid a prolonged and/or violent tussle, the referee stops the action and awards the ball to one team or the other on a rotating basis. Carrying/palming - When a player dribbles the ball with his hand too far to the side off or, sometimes, even under the ball. Kick-ball - it is an infraction to intentionally touch the ball with your feet. *All of these fouls are penalized with your team losing possession of the ball, and giving it to the other team, from the closest side line. A personal foul is committed when a player challenges another player unfairly, such as pushing, slapping, holding, blocking their run or hitting their arms. A player or coach who argues with a referee commits a technical foul. * Fouls can be punished with a free inbound pass, free throws at goal, or with sending off. A player who commits five fouls (six in the NBA), cannot longer take part in the game and it is said to have been 'fouled out'. 3 3º ESO - PE Workbook - IES Joan Miró – Physical Education Department BASKETBALL BASIC SKILLS DRIBBLING 1. Use your finger tips to dribble, never the palm. 2. Dribble on the side of your body, never bounce the ball in front repeatedly. 3. Get used to bouncing the ball hard off the ground. 4. Lower your body slightly so that the ball is bouncing rapidly at waist level. 5. Look up when you are dribbling, not on the ground or on the ball. 6. When switching the ball from one hand to another, bounce the ball across hard and quick. 7. When changing direction, shift the momentum of your body towards that direction. Finger tips gives you more control over the basketball. Dribbling on the side minimizes the possibility of getting your ball stolen. When situation allows, you can even use your back to shield the ball from your opponent. Bouncing the ball hard off the ground and lowering your body together allows you to reduce the time the ball is out of your control. Looking up while dribbling gives you the vision of the court and your defender while you dribble. Control or Low Dribble Speed or High Dribble Change of direction Use this when a defender Use this when you need to is guarding you closely. advance the ball quickly. - Crossover dribble You switch dribbling from Keep your body between Push the ball forward, one hand to the other, by the ball and the defender. ahead of you several feet. bouncing the ball in front Keep the ball low to the Bounce the ball at waist floor and close to your high.

"meet the pass". -- Most of the time, the receiver should not be stationary. - The receiver must learn to get open. Holding the ball Chest pass Overhead pass -Between your chest and your waist. -Keep the fingers wide apart. -Touch the ball with your finger tips. -The elbows are close to the body. -The thumb and the index finger must for a Baseball pass “T”. Bounce pass PIVOTING Pivoting, or turning, requires you to keep one foot, your "pivot foot", stationary, while you turn, or spin, your body around on the ball of your pivot foot. 5 3º ESO - PE Workbook - IES Joan Miró – Physical Education Department SHOOTING There are several skills that enable you to score in a basketball game. You can score by performing the basic basketball or doing a lay-up. SET-SHOT 1. Half-bent your knees before shooting a basketball for more potential power. 2. Your dominant hand should have its fingers spread out. 3. Only the fingertips should be gripping onto the ball. 4. Your other hand should support the ball on the side. 5. The ball should be brought above the head in one motion. 6. At this point, the angles at your armpit, elbow, and wrist is at 90 degrees 7. While extending your knees, extend your forearm and snap your wrist to direct the basketball and add backspin to it. 8. Make sure you follow through with your wrist movement. 9. You can also make a jump shot. LAYUP A layup is a two- point shot attempt made by leaping from below, laying the ball up near the basket, and using one hand to bounce it off the backboard and into the basket. 1. Start by dribbling the basketball towards the right side of the basketball hoop with your right hand. 2. As you approach the basket, you may carry the ball and take 2 big strides starting with your right leg.

Like many rookie and veteran coaches, you probably have had little formal instruction on how to coach. But when the call went out for coaches to assist with the local youth basketball program, you answered because you like children and enjoy basketball, and perhaps because you wanted to be involved in a worthwhile community activity. Your initial coaching assignment may be difficult. Like many volunteers, you may not know everything there is to know about basketball or about how to work with children. Coaching Youth Basketball will help you learn the basics of coaching basketball effectively. To start, let's take a look at what's involved in being a coach.

  • 2Nd Grade Practice Game Concepts and Drills
    2nd Grade Practice Game Concepts and Drills You should be cycling through these various game concepts and drills at every practice. Through repetition and consistency, the kids will learn how to play the game of basketball, properly shoot the ball, shoot a lay-up, pass, and dribble. At this age, they don’t need much variety. Keep things simple and repetitive, so they can build good habits. Refer to the Basketball Skills Progression Document to see the correct form on dribbling, passing, shooting, lay-ups, footwork, and game concepts. Pick one drill from each of the following categories for each practice: • Game Concepts/Scrimmaging • Passing • Dribbling • Lay-ups If there’s time, there are other drills that you can do, listed at the bottom. Dribbling, lay-ups, passing, and some kind of scrimmage or game play should be all done at every practice. Game Concepts Yes, this seems very basic, but we are laying the groundwork for these kids becoming good basketball players. There is no sense in teaching them about any fundamentals if they don’t understand how the game works at a basic level. You may need to take a few minutes at each practice to remind the kids about basketball game concepts. • OFFENSIVE CONCEPTS o At this level on offense, we really want the kids to learn: ! Quick passes ! Go directly to the lane with your dribble. ! Don’t force a shot if it isn’t there. ! Try to work the ball around and get a shot in and around the lane. ! Minimize the fast breaks and focus on running a disciplined offense.

  • Officiating and Ball Handling Lesson Plan
    Officiating and Ball Handling Lesson Objectives: The purpose of this lesson plan is to be able to understand the rules and regulations of basketball, hand signals and terms of officiating and a wide variety of different ball handling skills. Time: 45 minutes Equipment needed: Basketballs and basketball hoops, computer, overhead projector Classroom: Start off with video on rules and regulations. Then go over the signals for traveling, carrying or palming, double dribble, jump ball, goaltending, over and back, and time restrictions (10 seconds to cross half-court, 5 seconds to get rid of ball when you pick up your dribble or defenders within arm’s length of you, 3 seconds in key area). Then go into different fouls that can be committed. These would include personal fouls which are considered as any physical contact such as hitting, pushing, slapping, holding, and an illegal pick and screen. Other fouls can be committed when a person is shooting, if they don’t make the shot, they get 2 free-throw shots, if they make the shot, then they get one free-throw shot, but if its in the 3 point range, then they get three if they miss. The team is allowed 7 fouls per half, after that the other team goes into to bonus, which is one- and-one, once they get passed 10 fouls, they are in double bonus and they get 2 free-throws for any foul committed. Some violations are charging, which is an offensive foul when the offense runs into the defensive player while their feet are set.
