    S.L. Steam
    Salt Lake City, UT
    The S.L.Steam are a semi-pro team that are making their mark on the Mountain semi-pro basketball scene. With their first exhibition season underway they will face the tough semi-pro talent from Arizona and Utah. The S.L.Steam gives players, that still miss the adventure and hype of basketball season, a chance to play structured competitive basketball. We will be the one and only entity that promote our franchise and players on the team. This will also allow prospects, who seek aid in marketing themselves, an outlet to build their Promo Kits to present to agents and scouts. Featuring ex-college, over seas, and minor league pro players, the S.L.Steam will be a force to contend with this upcoming exhibition season. They have 20+ highly competitive games against in-league and tournament opponents.

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.
