    San Diego Hoops Basketball
    San Diego, CA
    San Diego Hoops was founded by Mark Jacobson, with the first full season season starting in the fall of 1999. That season started with 5 teams playing a 10 week schedule to, currently, 8 teams playing a 18-week schedule. �������· Draft System All teams are chosen by the coaches every year, by a draft system of registered players. This system creates relatively balanced competition (and new friendships). The annual "Draft Party" is the time when coaches select their respective teams that will compete against each other. The Draft Party usually takes place in late September or early October, at one of our sponsor's establishment, and in conjunction becomes a fundraiser for the year. �������· Regular Season/Playoffs The regular season games begin around October through March or early April, followed by the playoffs. �������· The Hillcrest Classic On Martin Luther King weekend 2000, San Diego Hoops hosted its first national tournament, The Hillcrest Classic, modeled on tournaments from cities like Chicago, San Francisco and Boston. Hillcrest Classic 2008 is forthcoming, dates to be announced. �������· Open Gym The league also boasts an Open Gym throughout the summer until the week before the season (in October), and then resumes after the season ends (in March/April). Open Gym is held once a week, evenings from 6 to 8 pm. �������· Awards Banquet/Jeremy Parrish Spirit Award At the end of each season, the league gathers to celebrate at the annual Awards Banquet, where trophies and awards are presented, including the Jeremy Parrish Spirit Award. Also the election of officers for the upcoming season occurs.

About Basketball

Basketball is a team sport, where the object of the game is to score points by passing a ball through a 10 ft high hoop. Players can advance the ball up court by dribbling or passing.

Basketball History

Basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in 1891. Dr. Naismith, the physical education professor at International Young Man's Christian Association Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, sought to create an indoor game to keep students fit during the long New England winters. The first games of basketball were played with a peach basket with no bottom. Dribbling the basketball was not part of the original game. The game of basketball quickly grew in popularity in the early 1900s. Beach baskets were replaced with metal hoops and backboards in 1906. From the very beginning, basketball was played by both women and men. The Basketball Association of America and National Basketball League merged to form The National Basketball Association (NBA), in 1949. By the 1950's basketball was a major college sport. Today, basketball is played at the youth, amateur, and professional level, worldwide. Women's basketball has also grown in recent decades to be a major spectator sport.

Basketball Tips

Basketball is a sport that one can practice by themselves or with a partner. Players can improve their ball handling, by dribbling around objects, practice dribbling using either hand, and dribbling with a ball in each hand. To work on passing players can use a wall and practice chest passes, bounce passes, over the head passes, one hand passes, and side passes. Good players practice taking a lot of shots from different angles and speeds.

In addition there are many basketball drills and basketball instruction available online and offline for players to hone their skills.
