The history

of basketball in USA

Basketball was born as a solution to the need for some sporting activity during the winter at the ymca school in 1891. the physical education teacher (James Naismith) at the school came up with the idea of basketball. Dr. Naismith hung some old fruit baskets on the gym walls and gave the players a football and very few rules. And so our Camp's favourite sport, basketball, was born.

the history

poktapok

Players in teams of two or four aimed to keep a rubber ball, weighing up to 4kg, off the ground and through a vertical hoop in the center of the court by striking it with only their hips. and this later converted into basketball.

The ball game pok-ta-pok was nearly ubiquitous in pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica. Pok-A-Tok was also used as a way to settle conflicts between warring groups and noblemen

positions in basketball

there are 5:

1)point guard: has very good handles and can think all about the plays in the court, strong defense and offense and leads the team. 2)shooting guard: can shoot from long range, makes good pases and can make offensive and defensive plays. 3)small forward: he is the main scorer, either shootin from long range or driving to the basket, good defense and ecellent passing skills. 4)power forward: drives to the basket and mid range shooting, goes for rebounds and is very good at defending and offensive.5)center: good footwork, strong rebounding abilities and sometimes shoots from long range.

basketball fundaments

1)shooting: you need to focus on the direction to the basket, aligment, a good shooting form(you need to aim to the basket and shoot it making a curve) and practise. 2)passing: you need to focus on the hands of your teamate and make a direct pass. there are various types of passes (with a bounce, direct and passing over the defense) 3)dribbling: you need to have a god handling with both of your hands, so you can go through the defenders easily. 4)defending: while you are defending, you can concentrate on the movement of the enemy, and also you need to move lateraly. 5)rebounding: one important thing in an attack is rebounding, so you can get back the ball to your team. while rebounding, is important to look for your teamate to make a pass, but if not, you can also score.

defending and shooting:

basics

shooting: when shooting is very important to know how to shoot good and also practise. for that you need to keep your balance, when shooting you need to keep the elbow in, to focus on the target, that in this case is the hoop and lastly, make the ball to rotate back.

Defending: when you are defending you need to focus on moving your feet to stay in front of your opponent and have a proper defensive stance (staying low, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart, and being ready to move quickly)
