The Invention and Early Spread of Basketball

Basketball was invented in December 1891 by Canadian Catholic educator James Naismith. As an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Springfield, Massachusetts, he sought a suitable indoor game for the winter months. The game incorporated elements of American football, soccer, and hockey. Initially, teams had nine players, used a soccer ball, and aimed for wooden baskets fixed to walls. By 1897, five-player teams became standard. The game quickly spread across the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world, enjoyed by both men and women. American soldiers during World War II further popularized the game internationally.

Ultimate Frisbee: In-Bounds and Out-of-Bounds

A disc is in-bounds when the receiving player is inside the playing field when they catch the disc. The sidelines are not part of the playing field. Players are allowed to throw the disc so that it flies outside the playing field and then comes back in, as long as it does not touch anything out-of-bounds and is caught inside the field.

If the disc goes out-of-bounds, it results in a turnover. Play continues from the spot where the disc left the field.

Ultimate Frisbee Turnovers: Possession Changes

The defensive team takes possession of the disc (a turnover) if the offense fails to catch a pass, or if the disc falls to the ground. A turnover occurs if the offense:

• Fails to catch a pass (a drop): The receiver
