INTRODUCTION Baw is one of the most popular team sports in the United States Diand Europe. The simple objective of the game—to throw a 30-inch ball through a 60-inch hoop more times than the opponent team does— belies the complex mix of individual skills and team tactics required at competitive levels. It focuses on dribbling, passing, rebounding, shooting, and moving without the ball. Players demonstrate four basic passes (the chest pass, two-hand bounce pass, two-hand overhead pass, and the baseball pass), as well as three different kinds of fakes used in basketball (the backdoor, reverse, and self-block). ‘The origin of the game basketball dates back to 1891. The credit for starting this game and framing its rules goes to Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian by birth. An instructor at the YMCA Training School in Massachusetts, he sought a suitable indoor game to keep his students fit and warm during the cold New England winters. He formulated 13 rules, ost of which still apply today. In 1893, the first women’s game was played atthe Smith College, in Northampton, Massachusetts, USA. Originally, basketball was played with peach baskets and balls had to be retrieved manually after each score. Subsequently, a hole was drilled into the bottom of the basket allowing the balls to be poked out with a long rod. In 1006, the peach baskets were finally replaced by metal hoops with backboards, It was originally played with a soccer ball, The first balls made specifically for basketball were brown, and it was only in the late 1950s that Tony Hinkle, searching for a ball that would be more visible to players and spectators alike, introduced the orange ball that is now in common use. Basketball made its appearance at the Olympic Games in 1904 in St. Louis as a demonstration sport, as the competition was held between only American teams and counted as an event of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU of the USA) Championships. At the Games in 1936 in Berlin, basketball joined the Olympic programme, where it has remained till date. Women’s basketball debuted at the Tore Games in Montreal, The USA dominates international basketball and won all the titles up to 1972, the year it was defeated by the Soviet Union at the Munich Games, Inghe women’s event, the Soviets took gold in 1976, 1980 and 1992, and ‘were later dominated by the Americans between 1984 and 2008, except in 1992, Dr. James Naismith‘ed in 1932 with the name “Federation this game was introduced by YMCA Contin ia ‘The first Indian National Championshy, Ae. ‘e was playe i ia which controls the ‘ (now Chennai) an eth The vos petball Federation of India 1 game in India moony conducted in 1934 in ea TT, try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop ayers each Basketballs a team sport: Two teams of ies Bplayed ma rectangular floor called the court and theres elevated 10 feet above the ground.

If The Basketball “The basketball is an inflated sphere usually made out of eather. Leather basketballs are those which are recommended for indoor professional competitions. The fubber covered basketballs are the ones which are used for daily practices and play. ‘A basketball usually weighs 600 to 650 grams and is 75 cm in circumference. The size and weight of the basketball depends on who plays the game. If women are playing, the official size ofthe basketball is 285” in circumference (which is size 6) nd weighs 20 07, as opposed to 29.5" circumference and 22 02 weight ball used for men's games. Prior to the commencement of a basketball match, the referee will test the ball for suitability. If The Basket ‘The basket is the goal in the game, and is made up of a horizontal, circular metal rim with a net attached to it. This rim is mounted 10 feet (3.05 m) above the court and 4 feet (1.2 m) inside the baseline. Basket f The Backboard ‘The backboard is the firm rectangular board behind the rim. You would be able to see backboards made of glass, steel, aluminium and acrylic (clear and tinted). The heavier and thicker the backboards are, the better the rebound effect will be. The size of a backboard would usually be 1.8 m horizontally and 1.5 m vertically. Baske.backboard I The Uniform This is one important part in the i ] ant p game.

The foot chosen is known as the “pivot”, or “pivot foot”, and if it comes off the ground, or otherwise shifte Position away from its original spot on the floor, a travelling violation will be called hhest pass is the most common used pass. The ball is held in both hands, the fingers ‘ide of the ball with the thumbs behind the ball. The ball is held about cheat high with snapping the wrist and stepping in the direction of the pass. The chest pass should be received chest high. Thus, itis a direct pass to own teammate at chest level. (b) Bounce Pass: It is a short distance pass. It is used when a player is being closely guarded. It is cxecuted in the same manner as the chest pass except the Ball is bounced into the hands of the receiver. (©) Overhead Pass: This pass is used to pass over a defensive player, usually to a post player or a cutter. The ball is held overhead with both hands, thumbs under the ball and fingers spread on the sides of the ball. The passer steps forward towards the intended receiver and transfers the body weight to the front foot. The arms are brought forward sharply, with a snap of the wrist releasing the bell, (@ Outlet Pass: The outlet pass occurs after a team gets a defensive rebound. The next pass after the rebound is the outlet pass. (©) No-look Pass: The crucial aspect of any good pass is it being difficult to intercept. Good passers can pass the ball with great accuracy and they know exactly where each of their other teammates Prefers to receive the ball. A special way of doing this is passing the ball without looking at the receiving teammate. This is called a no-look pass. (f) Behind-the-back Pass: Another advanced style of passing is the behind-the-back pass, which, as the description implies, involves throwing theball behind the passer’sback toa teammate. Althoughsome players can perform such a pass effectively, many coaches discourage no-look or behind-the-back asses, believing them to be difficult to control and more likely to result in turnovers or violations, Dribbling: Dribbling is the act of bouncing the ball continuously with one hand, and is a requirement for a player to take steps with the ball. With the hand cupped, the pads of the fingers control the direction of the ball, while the wrist and fingers flexion provide the force. The ball should be pushed downward and slightly forward, with the body in a crouched position. The opposite arm and forward foot should provide protection between the ball and the opponent. Dribbling can be high, low, crossover, spin, zig-zag, reverse, under the legs, etc. (a) High Dribble: The ball should rebound at waist high and little apart from the body. The movement is very quick and fast. The player is unguarded and free to move. a is is irded or is in a congested area.

Shooting: The main objective of the game of basketball is to score a be able fo score and shoot from any angle or point. Typically, a player faces the basket with both feet facing the basket. A player will rest the ball on the fingertips of the dominant hand (the shooting arm) slightly above the head, with the other hand supporting the side of the ball. The ball is usually shot by jumping (though not always) and extending the shooting arm. The shooting arm, fully extended with the wrist fully bent, is held stationary for a moment following the release of the ball, known as aee umnmgh Players often try to put a steady backspin on the ball to absorb its impact withthe rim ‘The uieal trajectory of the shot is somewhat controversial, but generally a proper arcis 1 : Pannen shoot dinety into the basket or may use the backboard to redirect the ball nto the basket The shot car be lay-up, dunk, jump, set, hook, tip-in etc. inn, Law-ap Shot This is the most commonly used shot in basketball.

Gc) Jump Shot This is most commonly used shot for 3 points. In this shot, one hand is used to push the ‘hull seat other hand directs the ball towards the basket with the jump. Hands extend over the head o weit full accuracy. Rebound: Rebounding is gaining possession of the ball after an unsuccessful shooting attempt. The sdjective of rebounding is to successfully gain possession of the basketball after a missed field goal or See throw, as it rebounds from the hoop or backboard. This plays a major role in the game, as most [possessions end when a team misses a shot. There are two categories of rebounds: (a) Offensive Rebound: The rebound in which the ball is recovered by the offensive side and does not change possession. (op Defensive Rebound: The rebound in which the defending team gains possession of the loose ball. The majority of rebounds are defensive, as the team on defense tends to be in better position to recover missed shots. & Defemce: This is the skill to save the goal from the opponent's attacks. There can be two types of defensive skills (a) Mam to Man Defence: In this system of defence, every player of a team is responsible for defence against any specific player of opposite team. (G) Zonal Defence or Zone to Zone Defence: It is a system of defence in which players are responsible for defence of their sides. A warmup for both training and competition should begin with some light activity to increase blood flow to the muscles. The biggest advantage that conditioning gives a player (or team) is that it allows the player to US ister skills longer in 2 game. It doesn’t matter how many skills a player possesses —if a player can't last very long in 2 game. all those skills will not really matter much. Ever wonder why in most of teams mistakes and tummwers occur in the second half or mainly in the fourth quarter? Most likely, poor conditioning is the caus ‘Teams cam lose games due to poor conditioning. One of the most disappointing ways to lose a game is getting ccutinsted physically by your opponents. Conditioning drills can make players much quicker, faster, strange a improve their coordination and balance, and most of all, improve stamina—which will help the team such better in the second half of the game. Following are some exercises for conditioning: 1. Basketball is Running: ‘To perform at the highest level from the beginning of the game to its end. Yo" ‘asthe in tsketoll game shape.

Start on the baseline, sprint to half court, then turn and run backwards with the arms up in the air. This not only helps with coordination, but also a good defensive technique. 4. Jumping: It is one of the most important skills used in the game of basketball. If a player is tired, he will not be able to jump as high. A team needs a player who can get rebounds in the final minutes of the game. 5. Footwork: Jump Roping, Ladder drills, Karaoke drills are all parts of building great footwork skills. 6. Defensive Drills: Defensive drills are all parts of the conditioning scheme. A good defensive player “attacks” rather than “reacts” during the game. 7. Ball Handling: Players need to condition their arms to be able to handle the ball late in the game. The best way to do this is to do “stationary” ball handling drills until a player can really feel the “burn” in his arms. Then move to ball handling drills that require lots of movement and agility. The harder a player works at ball handling, the easier it will become in a game. Most ball handling drills will work as long, as the player dribble hard (pound the ball through the floor), always look up, and use proper stance. 8. Push-ups: This is a great exercise to help keep players’ arms strong during the season, and also a good drill to do when they have to skip a workout. 9. Sit-ups: It keeps the abdomen strong, also helps keep the lower back stretched out. : Pull ups will also help to keep your arms strong during the season, and when youhave to skip_ a full workout. ‘The common basketball injuries are as follows: 1.

S Muscle Sprains and Strains, B Prevention and Treatment ‘Most of the injuries common to basketball are preventable by practising good habits. Following preventable measures are significant in preventing the basketball injuries: Have a pre-season physical examination and follow your doctor's recommendations for basketball injury prevention. Hydrate adequately —waiting until you are thirsty is often too late to hydrate properly. Pay attention to environmental recommendations, especially in relation to excessively hot and humid weather, to help avoid heat illness. Maintain proper fitness—injury rates are higher in athletes who have not adequately prepared physically. After a period of inactivity, progress gradually back to full-contact basketball through activities such as aerobic conditioning, strength training, and agility training. Avoid overuse injuries—more is not always better! Many sports medicine specialists believe that it is beneficial to take at least one season off each year. Try to avoid the pressure that is now exerted on many young, athletes to over-train. Listen to your body and decrease training time and intensity if pain or discomfort develops. This will reduce the risk of injury and help avoid “burn-out” Warm up thoroughly prior to play. Sprinting and jumping with cold muscles may increase the risk of injury. Wear supportive basketball shoes with skid-resistant soles, Use protective equipment (mouth guards, knee and elbow pads or eye protection). Use good techniques and play by the rules. Clean off courts before play—check for slippery spots or debris. ‘Have a first aid kit on hand. Get adequate recovery. Stay hydrated. Have a good drink of water before your hoop session, then drink at while you play. For long sessions, a sports drink can replenish lost body salt. regular intervals© Talk with your coach and/or athletic trainer about an ACL injury prevention programme and incorporating the training principles into team warm-ups. * Theathlete should return to play only when clearance is granted by a health care professional. ‘+ Back Court: The half of the court away from the basked under attack, the guards are often called back court players. * Basket: The iron hoop with net, where baskets are scored, * Drive: An aggressive move towards the basket by a player with the ball. * Dunk: To jump above the basket and stuff the ball through the loop.
