As far as I know, this is the only major sport in which the invention can be traced to a specific document. In a handwritten report, Naismith described the circumstances of the inaugural match; in contrast to modern basketball, the players played nine versus nine, handled a soccer ball, not a basketball, and instead of shooting at two hoops, the goals were a pair of peach baskets: 'When Mr.
Stubbins brot [sic] up the peach baskets to the gym I secured them on the inside of the railing of the gallery. This was about 10 feet from the floor, one at each end of the gymnasium. I then put the 13 rules on the bulletin board just behind the instructor's platform, secured a soccer ball and awaited the arrival of the class The class did not show much enthusiasm but followed my lead. Most of the fouls were called for running with the ball, though tackling the man with the ball was not uncommon.
Since the ball could only be moved up the court via a pass early players tossed the ball over their heads as they ran up court. The school asked Naismith to invent a new indoor sport. Naismith remembered a rock-tossing game he played as a child. How about a game where players threw a ball at a target?
The team that tossed the most balls into the target would win. Two peach baskets and a soccer ball were the equipment. Naismith put the baskets at each end of the gym, nailed 10 feet above the floor. The teams each had nine players. Naismith threw the ball in the air for the first tipoff.
On December 21, , the game of basketball was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. Basketball began in in Springfield, Massachusetts when Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith invented it. Abhishek Singh. Naismith wanted to make a game that was simple to learn, yet sophisticated enough to keep players interested.
Indoors, the game had to be playable, and it had to be able to handle multiple players at the same time. The game had to provide the pupils with lots of exercises while avoiding the violence of football or rugby, which could cause more serious injuries if played in a restricted setting. Naismith was told by his supervisor to build an indoor sports game to help athletes stay in condition over the winter. Naismith addressed the school janitor hoping to locate two square boxes that could be used as goals.
Instead, the janitor returned from his search with two peach baskets. Naismith attached the peach baskets to the gymnasium balcony's lowest rail, one on each side. The lowest balcony rail occurred to be 10 feet in height. Students would form teams and compete to get the ball into their team's goal.
A person was assigned to retrieve the ball from the basket and return it to play at each end of the balcony. For the new game, Naismith published 13 rules. He divided his eighteen-student class into two teams of nine players each and began teaching them the fundamentals of his new game. The goal of the game was to toss the basketball into the fruit baskets affixed to the gym balcony's lower railing.
The game was stopped every time a point was scored so the janitor could bring out a ladder and grab the ball. The bottoms of the fruit baskets were removed after a period. On March 11, , they held the first public basketball game in Springfield, Massachusetts. The first game, in which baskets were used as hoops, turned into a brawl.
Following are the 13 rules Naismith introduced in The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands never with the fist. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball when running at a good speed if he tries to stop. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it.
