3. This time a game called Message Relay will be played. It may sound familiar
with it but a little twist is made. The content of the messages will be the referees
hand signals or calls corresponding to fouls, violations, or misconduct committed
by a player.
4. You will be divided into five groups. Each group shall be named after a basic
skill in Basketball (e. g. shoot, pass, dribble, rebound, or run). There should be
no duplication of group name. Create your groups cheers with a demonstration
of the skill with which you named yourselves after.
5. Each group shall be in column formation about a meter away from each member.
6. As your teacher calls the first members from each group to move in front and
show an image of a referees hand signal or call, think of the name of the hand
signal. Refer to the sample illustrations given in this page. Then wait for the go
signal.
49
7. As soon as the first members hear the go signal, they shall immediately go to
the group and relay the name of the hand signal shown.
8. As the message reaches the last member, he/she shall run to the front as fast as
possible and lead the group in performing the group cheers and skill. He then
goes to the teacher and tells the message.
9. The first group to perform their respective cheers and skill and get the correct
message or name of the hand signal, gets the point for that round.
10. The last member to give the answer will then move in front. The process
continues.
11. The group with most number of correctly relayed messages wins the game.
Example of Referees Hand Signals:
See?! It pays to listen to the relayed message! Same is true with playing Basketball.
It pays to observe the rules and regulations.

SYNTHESIS
Your generation has gone a long way in terms of advancements in science and
technology. Machines, computers, cellphones, and other advanced gadgets are all
around you now. The classroom has been having difficulties in competing with these
modern technologies that, in one way or another, always find oppportunities to divert
your attention from improving yourself, your studies and your family.
Admit it or not, you tend to spend more time with your friends. You try to do what
they do, be what they are and go where they are headed. As your parents struggle
everyday to earn for your daily bread and prepare for your future through sending you to
school, you always find yourself busy with your classmates and friends doing what the
young generation of today do. In fact, you even spend more time with them than with
your family!
No matter how difficult it is for our present educational system to regain your
interest and refocus your attention back to the basics, it still tries its best to come up
with an interactive and engaging way to make you realize that you really need to
maximize your stay in school and prepare you for whatever lies ahead.
This module is one of those ways with which efforts were combined to let you
learn at the same time enjoy playing. As you worked on with the given activities in each
of the four parts of the learning sequence, you were provided with opportunities to
reflect and understand that theres more in team sports.
Through these activities, you were gradually introduced with the essential
knowledge and skills you needed to learn about team sports. And as expected, you
enjoyed them that much! But those activities did not end up in themselves. Enjoyment
was just the beginning of a bigger and better picture. You were provided with
opportunities to express and demonstrate your understanding of the benefits that you
and your family can derive from engaging and participating in team sports by answering
the mind-extracting and thought-provoking questions given.
You were made to realize that in team sports, individual expertise is highly
appreciated but not at the expense of sacrificing the whole team. You might have been
good or even the best, but you still need the team to back you up and make things
happen together. Thats why its called team sports after all. Each member plays an
important role in the game. Winning might have been important to you and your team,
but how you played the games was even more essential. Your family with all its
members, including you, is a perfect analogy of team sports. Each is essentially unique
considering their repective roles and areas of expertise but also equally necessary in
carrying out a fit and healthy family. Each is contributory to the attainment of the
familys goals and objectives.
As you go out of your class, it is expected that you impart what you have learned
about the essentials of team sports with your friends and more importantly, with your
family. Team sports strengthens your bond as friends and as members of a family.
Cherish every moment as you enjoy playing with those whom you love. Just always
remember, a family that plays together, stays forever and lives longer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball
HISTORY
Basketball was invented in December 1891 by the Canadian clergyman,
educator, and physician James Naismith. Naismith introduced the game when he was
an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association Training School (now Springfield
College) in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the request of his superior, Dr. Luther H.
Gulick, he organized a vigorous recreation suitable for indoor winter play. The game
63
involved elements of American football, soccer, and hockey, and the first ball used was
a soccer ball. Teams had nine players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets
affixed to the walls. By 1897-1898, teams of five became standard. The game rapidly
spread nationwide and to Canada and other parts of the world, played by both women
and men; it also became a popular informal outdoor game. U.S. servicemen in World
War II (1939-1945) popularized the sport in many other countries.
A number of U.S. colleges adopted the game between about 1893 and 1895. In
1934 the first college games were staged in New York City's Madison Square Garden,
and college basketball began to attract heightened interest. By the 1950s basketball
had become a major college sport, thus paving the way for a growth of interest in
professional basketball.
The first pro league, the National Basketball League, was formed in 1898 to
protect players from exploitation and to promote a less rough game. This league only
lasted five years before disbanding; its demise spawned a number of loosely organized
leagues throughout the northeastern United States. One of the first and greatest pro
teams was the Original Celtics, organized about 1915 in New York City. They played as
many as 150 games a season and dominated basketball until 1936. The Harlem
Globetrotters, founded in 1927, a notable exhibition team, specializes in amusing court
antics and expert ball handling.
In 1949 two subsequent professional leagues, the National Basketball League
(formed in 1937) and the Basketball Association of America (1946) merged to create the
National Basketball Association (NBA). The Boston Celtics, led by their center Bill
Russell, dominated the NBA from the late 1950s through the 1960s. By the 1960s, pro
teams from coast to coast played before crowds of many millions annually. Wilt
Chamberlain, a center for the Los Angeles Lakers, was another leading player during
the era, and his battles with Russell were eagerly anticipated. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
also a center, came to prominence during the 1970s. Jabbar perfected his famed "sky
hook" shot while playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and dominated the opposition.
The NBA suffered a drop in popularity during the late 1970s, but was
resuscitated, principally through the growing popularity of its most prominent players.
Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, and Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers are
credited with injecting excitement into the league in the 1980s through their superior
skills and decade-long rivalry. During the late 1980s Michael Jordan of the Chicago
Bulls rose to stardom and helped the Bulls dominate the NBA during the early 1990s. A
new generation of basketball stars, including Shaquille O'Neal of the Orlando Magic and
Larry Johnson of the Charlotte Hornets, have sustained the NBA's growth in popularity.
In 1959 a Basketball Hall of Fame was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts. Its
rosters include the names of great players, coaches, referees, and people who have
contributed significantly to the development of the game.

Dribbling
Dribbling in basketball is a skill that you should master. It allows you to move
around the court while youre in possession of the ball. It is a legal method that allows
you to advance with the ball and make a score as opposed to that of passing it to a
teammate to shoot it for the basket. This move involves bouncing the ball off the floor
with your hands as you cover the floor. This is how its done:
Dribble the ball with hand and use only the tips
of your finger in dribbling it.
Employ the wrist and the forearm to push
the ball while covering the court.
Dont involve the whole hand to avoid losing
control of the ball.
Dont keep your fingers in touch with
each other while dribbling.
Spread your fingers to allow full control
of the ball as it dribbles.
Dribble the ball in one side of your body
and not right in front.
While dribbling in one hand, use the other
hand to drive your defender away from
the ball.
65
Passing
Basketball is a team game. By definition, that means all players are involved with the
process of playing the game and should function as one. One of the primary skills
created to accomplish this is passing. It is a skill that maximizes the involvement of all
player in setting up a play to earn successful shots and earn points for the whole team.
To learn more about passing, read and practice as instructed below:
Basically, there are two types of pass: air pass and bounce pass.
Air pass travels between players without hitting the floor.
Bounce pass is thrown to the floor so that
it bounces to the intended receiver.
Air passes include chest pass-a pass that originates
from the chest to the receivers chest level;
and overhead pass-a pass that originates

teammate's chin. Dont bring the ball behind
your head, because it can get stolen and it takes
a split-second longer to throw the pass.
In executing bounce passes, calculate about
3/3 distance from the receiver as the hitting point
so that the ball bounces right to your receiver.

proportional with how strong the ball hits the floor.
A good pass is a pass a teammate can catch.
When passing, step toward your receiver.
When catching, step toward the pass.
Like shooting, the ball should have a backspin to it.
This is accomplished by following through on every
pass.
Rebounding
Rebounding is one of the major aspects of the game. It is your ability to jump with
power to gain possession of the ball as it bounces to the rim after a failed shot before it
touches the floor. Just how important is rebounding? Whenever you grab a rebound,
your team gains a chance to shoot again while the other team actually loses it. The
difference is double. So, how to make a good rebound, heres how...
66
Running
Running is one of the basic skills that a basketball player should possess. Because
in this sport, speed defines the best. Whether youre on the offensive or defensive side
of the game, passing, receiving, shooting or rebounding a ball, you always have to run
in any way possible. Here are some tips for you to improve your running skills:

Court Dimensions
The size of the court depends on the playing level. The size of the court for NBA and
College games is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide. It is smaller for High School and Junior
High.
