Dr. James A. Naismith, the father of basketball, was a teacher of YMCA training school. It trained the people to work in YMCAs. Officials at the school were2about the low attendance during the3months. They4that people didn’t attend then5the school did not have a good sports program in winter. So they asked Dr. Naismith for6. He came up with a new indoor game.
Naismith studied games being played at that time. He found that all the most7games used a ball. So a ball would be part of his new game, he decided. But8the ball or hitting it would be too9for indoors. So he put two10up on the poles. The players had to try to 11a ball into them. Naismith then made thirteen12for the game. Twelve of them are still in13today. Just seven14after the game began professional basketball teams were15. And that’s how basketball was born.
