The Young Men's Christian Association

During the winter of 1892 in a town in Massachusetts a physical education teacher, Dr. James Naismith, at a YMCA school created a game where young men could play indoors aside from going outside in the freezing cold. To be prepared for the game, Dr. Naismith came up with some rules for the game, gathered two peach baskets for hoops, a soccer ball, and coached the first basketball game in history.

The first team created was a local fire department crew. Lewis Rober, a lieutenant at the local fire department, used a vacant lot to set up a small field for his men to play.
