Women's basketball

Basketball is not just men's movement, women also can participate in this campaign.Women's basketball is one of the few women's sports that developed in tandem with its men's counterpart. It became popular, spreading from the east coast of the United States to the west coast, in large part via women's colleges. From 1895 until 1960, the term "women's basketball" was also used to refer to netball, which evolved in parallel with modern women's basketball.

Women's basketball began in 1892 at Smith College. They started playing less than one year after it was invented in 1891. Senda Berenson, a teacher from Smith College modified the rules to the game of basketball started by James Naismith and taught it in her classes. Basketball's early adherents were affiliated with YMCAs and colleges throughout the United States, and the game quickly spread through the country.
