Americans love watching and playing sports. Many of our most loved sports

were created right here in the United States by Americans!

Baseball, as Americans know it today, was invented in 1839 by Alexander Cartwright in New York when he founded the New York Knickerbockers. In 1845, Cartwright wrote the official rules of the game, and the first documented game played in the United States was in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1846.

American or “Gridiron” Football grew from soccer and rugby. Walter Camp, the “Father of American Football”, modified the rules of rugby to form football. The scrum was eliminated, teams would have 11 men each, and a team would give up the ball if it had not reached a certain yardage in a set number of “downs”. Rutgers University and Princeton University played the first intercollegiate football game in 1869.

Volleyball was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts by Walter G. Morgan. Morgan borrowed the ball from basketball, the net from tennis, the players’ use of hands from handball, and the use of innings from baseball. Little could he guess that he created what would become the second most popular team sport in the world!

Skateboarding was invented in the 1950s by California surfers looking to surf on land when the waves were flat. Since

then, skateboarding has moved into the mainstream and evolved into a sport with skate parks all

over the country. It has even been featured

on the ESPN televised X Games.

The origins of Kickball go back to 1917 when a park supervisor in Cincinnati, named Nicholas C. Seuss, created the game to teach children how to play baseball. Without the money to buy bats used to hit baseballs, Seuss had the “batters” kick a rubber ball instead.

Can you think of any other sports created by Americans?
