Introduction to Basketball

Basketball was invented in 1891 as an indoor sport. Initially played with Peach Baskets and a soccer ball, the game has evolved significantly. Modern basketball involves two teams of five players each, aiming to score points by shooting the ball through a hoop. Key skills include dribbling, shooting, running, passing, and jumping. Playing basketball offers numerous health benefits, such as burning calories, building endurance, improving balance, and enhancing concentration.
