  1. SPORT

  2. BASKETBALL

  3. This sport appeared in November 1891 in a college in Springfield, Massachusetts (the USA). The students (were fed up with athletics and football. They wanted a sport they could play indoors, even during cold winters. Luther Gulick, director of the school, didn't I know how to help them. So, he called together all the teachers and spoke to them about the problem. "We must invent a new game".

  4. Among the teachers there was James Naismith, a Lutheran pastor of Canadian origin who taught philosophy and loved sport. Naismith thought about it for a few days and then showed his idea to the director. It was for a ball game, less strenuous and violent than American football, with 13 basic rules.

  5. The director asked for a demonstration. Naismith formed two teams with nine students each and hung two fruit baskets at the ends of the gymnasium. Every time a student succeeded in getting the ball in the basket he earned two points for his team and the caretaker came with a ladder to get the ball out.

  6. The students and the public enjoyed themselves very much. The director was satisfied. All winter, the students in the college played amongst themselves, and then they began to involve the students from nearby schools.A new sport was born: basketball.
