James Naismith Research Paper

Winter had begun and college football had ended. The P.E. teacher, James Naismith, had to invent a game that the football team could play inside so they would stay fit.

Naismith came up with an idea. He got two peach baskets and nailed one to each end of the gym, ten feet above the floor. He made rules about how the ball could be moved across the floor. His thirteen rules are still used in today’s basketball games. The team loved the game and basketball was born.
