About 100 years ago Dr. James Naismith nailed a peach basket to a wall to give students something to do during the cold winter months. From this humble beginning the game of basketball has evolved into one of the most popular and athletic sports that is played today. Basketball is played at all skill levels from kids on playgrounds to the incredible athletic performances of the likes of Michael Jordan and Chamique Holdsclaw.
Basketball is also one of the most versatile of all team sports.
If you didn't pick up basketball skills as a kid you can still learn quickly with good instruction.
