BOHOL ISLAND STATE UNIVERSITY Main Campus 6300 Tagbilaran City Vision: A premiere S&T university for the formation of world-class and virtuous human resource for sustainable development in Bohol and the country. Mission: BISU is committed to provide quality higher education in the arts and sciences, as well as in the professional and technological fields; Introduction and History Basketball is an athletic sport, that can be played both indoors and outdoors. Because of its continuous action and frequent scoring, basketball is one of the most popular spectator as well as participant sports in the world. Basketball, extremely popular around the world, is a court game played by two teams of five players each. The object is to put a ball through a hoop, or basket, and thus score more points than the opposing team. Although basketball can be played outdoors, it was invented to serve as an exciting indoor exercise for the winter months in a northern climate. It quickly became a spectator sport, however, and now attracts large audiences to gymnasiums and arenas, especially in the United States, South America, and Europe. The sport is played on the amateur level by high schools, colleges, other groups, and, since 1936, by national teams in the Olympic Games. It also is played by professional athletes, notably in the United States and Europe. The foremost championships contended for are those of the National Basketball Association (U.S. professionals), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (U.S. colleges), and the Olympic Games. 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.

Rules and Guidelines Though basketball was invented with a set of thirteen rules, some rules were amended and many rules were added to help players play faster and make the game more interesting for the viewers. Some rules were introduced to minimize the advantage of height enjoyed by taller players. There are many variants of the game at different places and these branches have governing bodies formulating rules of the game. In the US, basketball tournaments are very popular in colleges. Their rules in inter- collegiate championships are slightly different from the professional basketball sport. Any player possessing the ball cannot stay inside the foul ring of the court with his back to the basket for more than three seconds No player should touch the ball, basket or its rim while the ball is passing through the basket. Players are allowed to make a brief contact with an opposing player trying to pass the ball or make a goal, but cannot obstruct them. Players making more than five fouls are removed from the game. Fouls as per the situation, grant free throws to the opposing team and the ball is handed over to them. Players cannot carry the ball with them and walk or run. This is called travelling When a player is surrounded by opponents, within one meter radius, trying to get hold of the ball, he/she cannot have the ball for more than five seconds. Such player is considered to be close guarded. Players of the team possessing the ball shouldn’t stay in the restricted area of the opponent’s team for more than three seconds. They should shoot the ball before the shot clock clicks. Basic warm up Walking High Knees Knee Hugs Jumping Jacks Backpedaling Ankle Pops
