Who invented Basketball?


Hello! This week in PE Hurumanu 7 we've been exploring some unpredictable sports. On Tuesday we did some sports stacking and a little game of Bench ball. Today (Thursday session) we did some Basketball and practices each skill that is essential like dribbling, passing, etc. We are also tasked to do a little research about who invented the game basketball. Anyways here we go.

The man who invented the game basketball is James Naismith. James Naismith is an American-Canadian educator/ sports coach and innovator. He got the idea of making basketball because they needed a sport that can be played indoors because it's freezing outside because it's Winter.

The game was first used in 1891 at the YMCA training school in Springfield, Massachusetts.
