Levski” – Sofia, Bulgaria Daniela Dasheva, D.Sc., PhD, National Sports Academy “V. Levski” – Sofia, Bulgaria Correspondence: [email protected] [email protected] Basketball is one of the most popular sports games in the world. According to FIBA from 2016, the Members are 213 countries. The game appeared back in 1891 as a simple small game with only 13 rules. Its creator is James Naismith, professor of anatomy and physical education and sport in SpringfieldCollege, Massachusetts, USA. We could not determine the exact date of the appearance of basketball in Bulgaria because the existing information is contradictory. There is evidence that in Sofia, many students returned home after the Balkan War, and played basketball on the court behind the Military Academy (1913). Years associated with the emergence of basketball in Bulgaria are 1916/1917. This happened d e to the students who had completed their education abroad and later students from American College in Bulgaria who practiced and promoted the game. The interests in the game grew over the years and in 1919 in Sofia for the first time public courses appeared. The first basketball courts were created in the capital - Sofia and in some coastal cities. Under the influence of the French sports movement in Bulgaria, basketball played mainly girls. The official year adopted as the beginning of basketball in Bulgaria was 1919. Then "Athletic" club first built a basketball court in Sofia and established Basketball section In its example next year - 1920 game were included in the program of the other clubs in Sofia, which formed the female teams - "Slavia", "Levski", "Slava" and others. Female teams also were started in Rousse, Plovdiv, Varna, Pazardzhik, Bourgas and others. 8 Basketball club "Slavia" is the oldest sports club in Bulgaria. As the sport Basketball in the "white" club was introduced by the founder of the Bulgarian basketball Vladimir Yerusalimov (Vlagera) in 1916. Basketball rules were brought from Constantinople and the team was formed. In 1917 the club was established officially Women movement started in 1921. Slaves were the first women's basketball club in Bulgaria. Regarding to the needs of the practice in 1923 came the first basketball books - "Women basketball" and "Official rules for women's basketball." Slowly, the game began to be practiced also by men. The popularity among men was growing rapidly, and in 1924 the first organized tournament in Sofia were conducted, involving 11 female and 10 male teams, divided into two groups. In the same year, official tournaments for juniors were organized in Rousse and Sofia, and in 1926, they played for the "Basketball player Cup." The first intercity match was in 1928, in which the team of "Slavia" - Sofia visited the city Samokov and American College and the match ended with the result 13:15 for "Slavia". Ten years later the first international match in Bulgarian basketball was played. In 1934 in Bulgaria, the first international basketball event was organized. The "Athletic –Slava 23" won over the "Student Sports Club" of Bucharest with the score22:16. For organised competition activities the first guiding institutes are created: Committees for various sports in Sofia that manage and control the development of almost all sports (later renamed committees for special sports); Committees for the games with a handball. The activities of these committees were very modest. More sensitive upswing in their work occurred in the period from 1937-1940, when the young people with progressive understanding were included. 9 Photo: The players from “Slavia” basketball club The basketball federation appeared in 1935, and immediately became a member of
