Sports are a great way to have fun, display your school pride, as well as meet a lot of great people! Did we mention it's really healthy?! Lots of students go through sports for the reasons above, but did you know that there are tons of colleges that offer sports scholarships for athletes? These are just some of the great reasons to join a sport. |

2007 State Basketball Champs!
James
Naismith, a Canadian physical
education instructor, invented basketball in 1891. Naismith
was born in Ontario and educated at McGill University and
Presbyterian College in Montreal. He was the physical
education teacher at McGill University (1887 to 1890) and at
Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts (1890 to
1895). At Springfield College (which was then the Y.M.C.A.
training school), Naismith, under the direction of American
phys-ed specialist Luther Halsey Gulick, invented the indoor
sport of basketball.
The first
formal rules were devised in 1892. Initially, players
dribbled a soccer ball up and down a court of unspecified
dimensions. Points were earned by landing the ball in a
peach basket. Iron hoops and a hammock-style basket were
introduced in 1893. Another decade passed, however, before
the innovation of open-ended nets put an end to the practice
of manually retrieving the ball from the basket each time a
goal was scored.
In 1959,
James Naismith was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame
(called the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.)
