| James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 as a sport to be played indoors during winter months, when inclement weather prohibited outdoor exercise. Naismith received his education in Canada and used his background in physical education to teach, develop the sport, and direct physical education programs for the YMCA and the University of Kansas. | ||||||
