    This team will be starting in the spring of 2010 by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes basketball division in Atlanta, Ga. Our goal is to use the game of basketball to share the love of Jesus Christ to the athletes, coaches and all whom they influence.This team will compete against local prison and jail teams across the state of Georgia with a strong focus on the Greater Atlanta area. As a member of Team FCA , players will also have opportunities to travel and compete in countries such as Israel/Holy Land and the Ukraine to name a few. During these trips, Team FCA will host basketball camps and clinics in the mornings and compete against the local club and professional teams in the afternoon and evenings. A gospel presentation will be shared at half-time of each game. We will add other countries to the schedule and possibly a second Team FCA as we grow and expand. During the summer of 2010, Team FCA will compete in the Wallace Prather Pro Summer League at the Adamsville recreation center in Atlanta, Ga. There is also discussion about Team FCA competing against area city league champions, men's YMCA league champions and some of the street ball touring teams. The prison and jail ministry games will be played on Saturday's. The trips to other countries will require a player to be out of the U.S. between ten and 12 days. The game schedule for the Wallace Prather Pro-Am is TBA. The skill level for this team is for competitive and pro.

    Georgia State Games
    Kennesaw, GA
    The Georgia Games holds championships in 40+ sports for amateur athletes at all age levels. In the late 1980's, the state of Georgia and the city of Atlanta decided to bid upon the 1996 Olympics. A lack of education concerning the positive attributes of physical fitness and health existed in Georgia at that time. The Georgia Games Amateur Olympic Sports Festival was formed to assist in addressing this problem. Since 1990, the Georgia Games, a program of the Georgia Sports Foundation, has been educating Georgians about the benefits of physical fitness and sports.

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.
