Dr james naismith, a Canadian, is a physical education teacher at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, USA. In track and field training in physical education class, he found that students were not serious in running, and reprimanding students was of no help. What is the reason? In his spare time, he talks with students to find out the root causes. Students report that these special training activities are boring and the exercise is not comprehensive. Naismith was greatly inspired by the students' opinions. In order to improve students' interest in sports, he is determined to create a new sport that can not only train students' running ability, but also train students' jumping ability. Moreover, the activities are not monotonous and students are very interested. After several days of thinking, he finally thought of it. He asked the cobbler to make a ball the size of a football now, draw a rectangular field on the playground, put a variety of wooden posts at both ends of the field, and nail a bamboo basket on each of the two wooden posts about three meters from the ground. After the preparatory work was done, naismith made his first basketball match experiment in the section of 189 1 physical education class. He divided eighteen students into two teams and stood at both ends of the court. After the referee blew his whistle, he threw the ball into the center of the court. Two players ran to the court at the same time to grab the ball. By passing the ball to each other, they threw the ball into the basket nailed to the post. After the ball was thrown, the referee standing by immediately set up a ladder to climb up and take it down, and then continued the game. Students are very interested. After class, many students asked to play for a while. During the break, everyone talked about it, saying that this sport can promote the all-round development of students' bodies, and it is also a very interesting new sport. At that time, naismith organized students' basketball games. There were no fixed rules and no limit on the number of students. Later, he made thirteen rules of basketball game. It is stipulated that each team has five people. 1892 65438+1On October 20th, the first official basketball game in the world was held in Springfield.
