Modern basketball can also trace the source of it by mid-December 1891 Dr. James Naismith, a physical education teacher in Canada and the local manager in Springfield, Massachusetts YMCA Training School play desperately in an active form during the indoor winter snow and cold of New England. After trying different games they found is dangerous or not suitable for movement, wrote Naismith most important rules of basketball, which contains some of the rules of the popular game for children as a "duck pond" and then peach raised baskets to the point nailed feet above the game . Of course, since the basic basket of peaches still closed, with the ball after the player scored a basket, is very inefficient - is incredibly, has quit the game, someone takes the ball with a wedge. Although the first official game played in January 1892, was the gymnasium in the YMCA in the Naismith diary that he was very nervous about the new game has taken, he fears that they do not care about basketball. Strangely, the first official game of basketball, there are nine players on one side and the winning team won a closely fought battle 1-0 with a shot from 25 yards - in the courts about the size of half a modern statement! In 1897 a team of five has become a standard.

But it's not a big problem, such as clubs, schools and amateurs, high school club and even some short-term professional league basketball, and occupies not only on the available jobs, but also to promote the game.
