Game #3

Kickball Basketball (modified)

In this version of kickball basketball there are 2 teams with about 13 players on each team. The game is still played on a full sized basketball court. In this game the pitcher rolls out the ball to the kicker, and the kicker kicks it. After the kick has been made, the objective of the offense is for them to run as fast as they can around the basses to get to home plate before the defense makes 5 passes and shoot the ball into the basket. However, if the offensive player gets around all three bases before the defense makes their 5 passes and a shot, the runner must tag the next person in line on offense. Then that person starts to run around the bases. If the defensive basket

    The History Of Basketball

    Since its beginning over a century ago, basketball has evolved from a simple form of exercise with only a few rules to a highly competitive and complex national sport. Basketball was invented by James Naismith at a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1891 (Fox 11-13). It began as an activity for the “‘ball-game’ void” months of winter (Hanson 65), and Naismith had five standards for the game. He wanted a ball that could be handled by a player’s hands; no one was to run with the ball, and anyone could grab the ball from another player as long as the ball was in play. There was to be no personal contact, and the goal was to be raised from the ground. He created the idea and standards for basketball by combining certain aspects of American…

    Game play goes as follows: the ball is rolled towards home plate, and the player which is up (kicking), tries to kick the ball. If the ball is caught in the air, the kicker is out. A player is also out if the ball is thrown at them, and hits them while they are not touching a base. If a thrown ball misses them, they may only run to the next base, which is known on the kickball field as the "one base on an overthrow" rule. Also similar to baseball, if the ball is thrown to the first base man, and it is caught by the first base man while he/she/it is touching first base, the player running to first base is out. This is known as a "forced out" in that the runner was forced to run to that…

    As an individual transitions from high school to college and then to a professional level, one may come to realize major and subtle differences in each level that is experienced. James Naismith invented the game of basketball as something to keep men occupied. It has changed a lot from then to now. It was first played with a peach basket with no hole in the bottom. There were no backboards. There was no 10-second line, three-second violation, and no frontcourt and backcourt lines. But the greatest difference between Naismith’s invention and basketball as we know it today was that in the thirteen rules, there were no provisions for dribbling. He said the game could be played with as few as three or as many as forty players on the court at the same time. Naismith didn’t want a soccer or lacrosse goal because indoors, nine men would line up in front of the goal and it would be impossible to score, so the goal had to be elevated. The 10-foot height on the baskets came about because the first peach baskets were attached to the…

    While there are many similarities between old school and new school basketball, there are also many differences between them. But, before we get into that you should know what old school basketball actually really is. “Old school” basketball was a game created by James Naismith in 1891 that originally set out to have 13 rules. It was a game where usually back then there were 9 players on each team competing, players weren’t allowed to get back in the game once out, and players originally would shoot a soccer ball into a square box of 18 inches or a peach basket. All of those things and many more have changed over the course of time. But, there are still some things in “old school” basketball that actually still do exist or apply in what is now called “new school” basketball. Things like how you can’t run with the ball in your hands, which is called traveling, how you can throw the basketball in any direction you want with one or both hands, and how…
