Brief History

Why was the sport invented?

Due to the cold outside temperatures, James wanted to create an indoor sport to include the fun aspects of baseball, ruby, lacrosse, and soccer

Merge of multiple sports into one

Was invented in Canada by James Naismith

Started out with a peach basket and two soccer balls

Indoor vs. Outdoor

Outdoor

Thicker, rubber

Rougher terrain

More limits in terms of design

Indoor

Leather/brown/orange (nicer materials)

The basketball itself has/ is still being redesigned

Connected to development of game itself

Trial runs

Initially used balls from other sports

For body-type specific needs and changes to environment

Body Movements

Hand, grabbing, positioning

The Game

Development of game also connected to development of basketball

Functions as easy-to-pick-up sport where not many materials are needed

Was globally appealing for this reason
