Essential Questions Basketball What is the difference between offense and defense in basketball? What is the difference between shooting a basketball and passing a basketball?

HISTORY James Naismith was the Canadian physical education instructor who invented basketball in 1891. The first rules were created in 1892. Initially, players dribbled a soccer ball up and down a court of unspecified dimensions. Points were earned by landing the ball in a peach basket.

HISTORY Iron hoops and a hammock-style basket were introduced in 1893. The open-ended net was introduced ten years later. This put an end to manually retrieving the ball from the basket each time a goal was scored. In 1959, James Naismith was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

HOW TO PLAY There are 2 teams Ball advances down the court by dribbling, passing, or shooting A player scores by shooting the ball into their basket; 1 point for free throws, 2 points for floor shots, 3 points for shots beyond the 3 point line The ball is given to the other team after a scoring The game is won by the team with the most points after time has expired
