History of Basketball
> The history of basketball began with its invention in 1891
in Springfield, Massachusetts by Canadian physical education
instructor James Naismith as a less injury-prone sport than
football.
> The game became established fairly quickly, very popular as the
20th century progressed, first in America and then throughout
the world.
> After basketball became established in American colleges, the
professional game followed; the American National Basketball
Association (NBA), established in 1949, grew to a multi-billion
dollar enterprise by the end of the century, and basketball
became an integral part of American culture.

Invention of the Game

created by
Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 in
Massachusetts to condition young athletesSpringfield,
during the cold.
It consisted of peach baskets and a sOccer
style ball. He

published rules for the new game. He divided his class of 18
into two teams of nine players each and set
about to teach
them the basics of his new game.
The objective of the game was to throw the basketball into the
fruit baskets nailed to the lower railing of the gym
Every time a point was scored, the game was haltedbalcony.
so the
janitor could bring out a ladder and retrieve the ball.
> After a while, the bottoms of the fruit baskets were removed.
The first public basketball game was played in Springfield,
Massachusetts, on March 11, 1892.

Fundamental Skill
> Dribbling :- Dribbling is an important skill for all basketball
players. This skill will allow youto move up and down the
court, maneuver past defenders and execute plays. Proper
dribbling requires ball-handling sills and knowledge of
how to spread your fingers for bal control.
>Shooting :- In order to score points in basketball, you need
toshoot the ball into the hoop. This requires the ability to
properly hold and throw the ball into the air toward the
basket while avoiding defenders.
>Running :- Running is a big part of basketball. In a full-court
game, you will find yourself running back and forth as the
game quickly transitions between offense and defense.
>Passing :- Passing is another skill that when mastered can
help you become a complete basketball player. Basketball is
a team sport that involves finding a teammate who is open
for a shot.
Jumping :- Jumping is another skill that can define how
good a basketbal player is. Jumping is involved in offense
during the jump ball in the beginning, while taking shots
and sometimes while trying to catch a pass.
Terminology
Backboard- The rectangular piece of wood or fiberglass
that the rim attaches to.
Bench - The substitute basketball players.

HOW ARE BASKETBALL INJURIES TREATED?
1. Ankle Sprains:- Treatment for an ankle sprain involves rest, ice,
compression, and elevation (RICE). The need for X-rays and
evaluation by a physician is determined on a caseby- case basis
and depends on the severity and location of pain. Pain and
swelling over the bone itself may need further evaluation. An
injury to the ankle in a child who is still growing could
represent a simple sprain or could be the result of an injury to
the growth plates located around the ankle and should be
evaluated by a physician.
2. Deep Thigh Bruising :- Treatment includes rest, ice,
compression, and elevation. Commercially available girdles
with thigh pads are now available for protection.

3. Knee lnjuries :- Basketball requires extensive stop and go and
e,
is
cutting maneuvers which can put the ligaments and menisci of
the knee at risk. Injury to the medial collateral ligament is most
common following a blow to the outside of the knee and can
be often be treated with ice, bracing and a gradual return to
activity.
4. Jammed Fingers :- Jammed fingers occur when the ball
contacts the end of the finger and causes significant swelling
of asingle joint. Application of ice and buddy taping the finger
to the adjacent finger may provide some relief and allow the
athlete to return to play. If pain and swelling persist, evaluation
by a physician or athletic trainer is recommended and an x-ray
of the finger may be needed.

5. Stress Fractures :- Stress fractures can occur from a rapid
f
st
increase in activity level or training or from overtraining. Stress
fractures in basketball most commonly occur in the foot and
lower leg (tibia). Once diagnosed, a period of immobilization
and non-weight bearing is recommended. Return to play is
permitted once the fracture has completely healed and the
athlete is pain free.
6. Facial Cuts :- Depending on the depth of the injury, the cut
may require stitches or a "butterfly" sterile tape. lce may
provide pain relief and decrease swelling. Players can return to
on
com
play after allblood is removed and the wound is dressed.

HOW CANBASKETBALL INJURIES BE PREVENTED?
1. Have a pre-season physical examination and followyour
doctor's recommendations for basketball injury prevention.
2. Hydrate adequately - waiting until you are thirsty is often too
late to hydrate properly.
3. Pay attention to environmental recommendations, especially in
relation to excessively hot and humid weather, to help
avoid heat illness.
4. Maintain proper fitness - injury rates are higher in athletes who
have not adequately prepared physically.
5. The athlete should return to play only when clearance is granted
by a health care professional.
fppt.com
6. Aftera period of inactivity, progress gradually back to full
contact basketball through activities such as aerobic
conditioning, strength training, and agility training.
7. 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,"
8. Talk with your coach and/or athletic trainer about an ACL
injury prevention program and incorporating the training
principles into team warm-ups.
