Basketball is a team game played on a court. Each five-person team attempts to throw or dunk an inflated ball into the opponent's basket, which is mounted on a backboard that is ten feet above the floor. The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) is the recognized governing body for basketball world wide. Founded in 2002, FIBA aims to create a worldwide basketball network to achieve a sustainable continuous growth of the sport of basketball. USA Basketball, a non-profit corporation, is the national governing body for men's and women's basketball in the United States.
Basketball is a popular sport worldwide, played in professional leagues, school teams, recreational leagues, and on courts and driveways all over America. Early evidence of the game has been found in the archeological remains of the ancient civilizations of Central and South America, but the game as we know it was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith of Pringles, Massachusetts. He was commissioned to design an indoor team game for the YMCA. The YWCA requested a copy of the rules
in 1895, and since then, both men and woman have been participating in the sport of basketball.
The basketball court may be located indoors or outdoors,
